The Backyard Bang, a 3rd annual grass roots rail jam in downtown Portland.   Riders and Sponsors from around the region showed up at the crack of dawn to set up the event during torrential down pours, luckily the clouds broke around noon and the course was ready to go.  Downbox, Mini Kicker and two wall rides were the choices for Sawyer Dean, Austin Sweetin and Johhnie Paxson to name a few.   Spectators from Mt Hood down to Portland crowded into the alley way to watch the event but not before swinging by Windells in the tent village to grab some free stickers, candy and enter our Pumpkin Carving Contest. (It was Halloween)  20 competitors carved  and one lucky winner walked away with a Windells Dakine Pack full of Atmosphere, Bonfire, Dakine and Chaos gear.

Carving Pumpkins, Lapping the VIP quarters, Tossing out Free Stickers, Watching Sawyer Dean Fall,Handing Out Candy, Smashing Pumkins and Witnessing how crazy Porltand people get on Halloween, we had a blast.  Thanks Bonfire, Salomon and Art Institute of Portland for putting on a great event.
