Kids love rail jams, and the level of progression by the riders on the Brighton rails yesterday made it a contest to remember! Everest Arnold slayed the rail contest with so many solid tricks! One of the highlights from Everest’s run was a gap 450 to boardslide on the down rail. Alexa McArty locked in a gap to front board on the close out and a backlip on the down rail to win the women’s division.
