The 2nd annual Downtown Grand Rapids Rail Jam takes place this weekend, Feb. 26-28. With over $10,000 in cash and prizes being given away, this is an event you don’t want to miss. The event kicks off this Friday afternoon with a meet & greet, pre-registration and riders have an opportunity to take free runs. Registration is just $40 for skiers and snowboarders who want to enter the comp. Free for spectators.
Following the format from last year, skiers take center stage on Saturday afternoon with registration starting at 1pm and the Pee Wee Comp starting at 3pm. Things heat up toward the evening with the Adult Comp starting at 5:30pm. Snowboarders get an earlier start on Sunday with registration happening at 10am and the Pee Wee comp starts at 12:30pm. The competition is switched up in the afternoon as the intermediate and and advanced comps take center stage. As usual, be sure to hit up the afterparty inside Crush at The B.O.B.
The layout has changed from last year, providing riders with more features.
Features this year include 2 main boxes, 1 flat to down and 1 down. The second section will drop down to a kicker with 2 flat rails running parallel to each other on top.
