Back to the Forest Competition was held today (Saturday) in St. Thomas, Ontario.
Many pro riders were there including Jared Jesperson, Aaron Chase, Andrew McIntosh and others (Hannah Steffans from idun was also there, although no backflips :( )
Chase and most other riders were amazing. Saw many backflips, some smooth 360s and an attempted frontflip! He didn't land it, but apparently yesterday at practice he did! I'm not sure who it was that attempted it, but it was awesome to see.
I brought my new dig. camera along to snap some shots, unfortunately 5 or 6 pictures later my battery was dead.
I think it was actually better that my battery died, as i got to actually concentrate on watching the comp rather than taking pics of it. Anyways, here are 3 of the pics i took. (no good ones, sorry)
