The Superpark Movie—Full Movie
Snowboarder Magazine - Mark Clavin
The Superpark Movie In preparation for the return of Superpark presented by Oakley to Crystal Mountain next week, we thought we would repost The Superpark Movie in full! Part 1 above, A Super Idea, followed by the remaining five below is exactly what you need to get stoked for the upcoming Superpark 22! Keep an eye out for more drops as we prepare for the best riders in the world to make their way to Washington for five days of epic riding! Part 1: A Super Idea To compare the lips and landings strewn across the slope of Squaw Valley in 1992 to the monstrosities erected in Mammoth last spring, one would hardly think they could both be called Superparks. Yet, when Sean Sullivan created the moniker a quarter of a century ago it wasn’t to denote the terrain. Rather the “super” pre-fix referred to the riders. By that metric, SNOWBOARDER’s annual congregation of the best terrain park talents on earth remains true to its founding tenet. To commemorate our marquee event’s 20th anniversary, SNOWBOARDER has created The Superpark Movie in order to document everything that has driven this one of a kind celebration of inbounds freestyle snowboarding. Broken up into five chapters, The Superpark Movie will be released weekly from now until the New Year and highlight the sessions, standouts and setups that have made the Superpark so legendary. Part 1: A Super Idea takes Superpark from its unofficial as a u-ditch on steroids in Backcomb, through the tables and tabletops at Squaw Valley. From becoming an official Snowboarder produced photo shoot in British Columbia, to its reaching the next level in 1999 at Mammoth with Kurt Wastell and “The Berserker”. Featuring the riding of Bjorn Lienes, Peter Line, Chad Otterstrom, Tara Dakides, Mike Michalchuk, Shaun Palmer, Jeff Brushie, Travis Parker, Kevin Young, Jamie Lynn, Mike Ranquet, Jim Rippey, Tom Gilles, Chris Engelsman, Jeremy Jones, JP Walker, Kevin Jones, John Sommers, Mikey Leblanc, Kurt Wastell, Mike Ranquet, Ingmar Beckman and more… sit back and enjoy the ride. It sure has been a good one. Part 2: Superpark Standout Superpark would be nothing more than an indulgent display of frozen monoliths were it not for those esteemed invitees who sack up every year to strap in and send it. As much as every accredited rider has justified their access to Superpark, there will always be a handful of individuals who dig deeper than the rest to emerge as our “Superpark Standout.” This episode of The Superpark Movie highlights the exploits of …

Don’t expect any frills at A-Basin, this is a true ski area, nothing more than chair lifts, a day lodge and a parking lot. To Kick Back and Relax: Don’t rush home after shredding the basin. The 6th Alley Bar & Grill is the Arapaho Basin base lodge restaurant. Pro-tip: get the Bacon Bloody Mary. It’s like a meal and a perfect kick back and relax drink all in one To Catch Some Amazing Music: The historic venue Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater is iconic for its spectacular setting. A constant stream of musical acts comes through on a nightly basis, providing an unique opportunity to ‘catch some stars’ • Denver is known for its bustling music scene, giving you plenty of opportunities to catch an act at a bar or cafe.
