Hey,

Rail Comp in Aotea sq in Auckland, put on by Rome and Snowcentre, was pretty fun and very entertaining.

The set up was a lil sketchy and the rails a bit steep and short for my liking but everyone gave it a go and things turned out pretty good. After a dramatic start with a rider (Gumbie) hooking his edge as he rode in and riding off the side of the setup, saving himself by swinging on the scaffolding but unfortunately hitting one of the crew and cutting his arm.

After that riders had a short warm up and then it was straight into judged runs. The Snowplanet groms were out in force and riding well. There was also 5-6 girls ripping and throwing down some mean tricks!

As the pack got cut down I ended up in the final 5. Three hits in the final and best tricks counted. I kooked it and didna??t land the frontside 270 onto the downrail that I was going for so that counted me out and it went down to Dillion and one other dude that had such dope style (sorry cant remember name). Dillion won with a f/s 270 onto the flat down box and claimed a new Rome Agent snowboard for his efforts, yeeeyah!

There were some live bands playing on and off over the 4 hours which was good for riders and onlookers so cheers to them. Anyways thata??s bout it.

cheers to the organisers, pce.
