The Inaugural Burton Canadian Open Premiered this weekend in Calgary at Canada Olympic Park.  An international field of competitors went up against a good mix of local talent in both the pipe and slopestyle events. With awesome weather, sun, and a perfect pipe and slopestyle course I witnessed some of the best competition riding for both male and female riders this year.  Good times were had riding, hanging and chilling at the event all week.  Every event and finals was impressive but the female slopestyle finals blew me away. Girls were stomping 720’s, Cab 540’s, switch B/S 540’s, combo rail tricks it was very impressive!  

Hanging with the ladies all week was a good time for sure. Check out my Canadian Open Photo Gallery!
