Billabong Flaunt It Rolls Through the North Shore

Billabong Flaunt It made its way to the West Coast stopping on Vancouver’s North Shore at Grouse Mountain this past Saturday.  The fog crept in the early morning as the competitors warmed up in practice causing the event to be modified, so the girls started the day off with the Rail Jam.  Sarah Gall, road tripping from Oregon made a pit stop at Grouse to compete at Flaunt It, landed herself in first place in the rail jam with a gap front side 270 on the down flat down rail.  She was accompanied on the podium with Kiersten Higginson and Katherine Lacroix-Vogel.

The fog and the sun battled throughout the day, with the sun winning out providing visibility for the second half of the day.  With the weather battle settled, the girls set their sights on the slopestyle course.  Michelle Zeller from Breckenridge, Colorado squeezed out first place in a tight battle, with Kiersten Higginson close behind her in second.  Zeller’s run consisted of technical rail tricks including a front board 270 out on the down bar rail, followed by a frontside 720 on the jump, and a nose slide on the rainbow rail.

The grom award was a tie between the two eager 11 year old competitors, Juliette Pelchat & Maggie Crompton.

Report #BillabongFlauntIt Mount St Louis

The sun was peaking its rays through Saturday morning, shimmering over the course at Mount St Louis as Billabong Flaunt It kicked off another season of all girls events. The beats were jammin’, the vibes were hype, and all of the girls definitely brought their stoke.

Ontario’s very own Samm Denena slayed the Slopestyle course in commanding style.  Her run started with a front side tail press on the down bar followed by an under flip 540 melon grab on the first jump, then linked up a cab under flip melon on the second jump and topped off her run with a gap to nose slide on the down flat down. Mount St. Louis local, Baily McDonald scored herself a well-deserved second place and all the way from Breckenridge, Colorado, Michelle Zeller in third place.

Fueled up and ready for the afternoon session the girls destroyed the rail jam course, which was comprised of three options; a down flat down rail, giant rainbow rail, or flat tube.  Samm Denena cleaned up again with a super technical trick on the down flat down, a front side 50-50 to front side 180 switch up, backside 180 out. Baily McDonald held onto second place with a switch boardslide down the double kink in and Quebec’s Elizabeth Hoskins finished in third.  10-year-old Kaitlyn Adams from Ohio earned the Billabong Girls Grom Award with her fearless gap to 50-50 on the double kink.
