Local Spotlight- Justin Miner (Pittsfield, NH)

This is the first little segment where we seek out unknown local skaters and try go give them a little exposure.

Here's some footy we found of Justin Miner- an up and comer from the small town of Pittsfield, NH. I got the chance to skate with him a little while back and found out that not only does he rip, but he's also a damn good dude. In fact, probably one of the coolest people I've ever met. And in Pittsfield, he is a local celebrity to the kids.

Check it out, show him some love. And keep in mind that the streets he's skating on haven't been paved in about 10 years. I've driven them. They're haggard. We'll get him out for a session this summer to get some new footy and an interview.

GG’s 7th Annual Downtown Throwdown- March 5th

The dudes at Granite Gorge are making it happen yet again. For the 7th year running, they're putting together one of the most anticipated and loved snowboard events in southern New Hampshire.

This is no “set up a box and have a little jib session” BS. This thing shuts the lot down and brings in a crowd from all over NH and MA. Each year the event has grown exponentially. And this year is no different. Since making Transworld last season, GG has been on a tear- killin’ everything from park admission to print and media exposure. This year, they are bringing in local and national sponsors for the Downtown Throwdown. Here are just a few that I can think of: Monster Energy, AT&T, Bean Snowboards, Steez Magazine, DC Shoe Co., Oakley, Lab n’ Lager, Burn Helmets, Never Summer, Beaver Street Market, and Ted’s Shoe and Sport. And of course, the Rollin’ Box Bus will be on site. Check out the Renegade vinyl on it!

You want to be a part of this. Get to Gilbo Avenue in Keene, NH around 11:30am to register (the contest will be taking place in the public lot located next to the skate park and behind Ted’s Shoe and Sport). The comp starts at 1:00pm. It will be broken down into two divisions- 16+. And 15 and under. The top prize for the 16+ snowboard winner is pure magic- a customized, limited edition Bean Snowboard. The top skier will take home some new skis. AT&T will be giving out some free phones. And look for a little cash to be tossed around.

Get there. Throw down. Enough said.
