Grand Finale, Savage Blade, The End and someone is going home in a new car.

The bottom half of Whistler hasn’t been getting the same kind of snow as the upper mountain this season, so the Whistler parks staff had their work cut out for them when they set out to build the course for the Grenade Games Six Grand Finale. After last years amazing version of a slopestyle, we wanted to once again bring something new to the idea of slopestyle courses. The trick is to make it fun enough to ride and exciting enough to watch. But the bottom line is that it wouldn’t be Grenade Games unless we gave everyone a thousand options of how to get wild.

the course

By the time practice was over I knew this was going to be a legendary night. People were trying next level tricks in places you’d never expect, and putting together imaginative and sketchy lines. Considering the hectic days and late nights that had already taxed competitors, it was a small miracle that there were enough riders left standing to step to the course, but in fact many had to be cut as the Invite list was longer than there was room and everyone wanted to take a swing at the 10 thousand dollar first prize.

I’ll just say this, riding without a shirt is sketchy on the rough spring slush, but dropping your droors as well is borderline psychotic. That’s just one of the many colourful words that people were using to describe Kael Hill’s performance this week. Although he may not have stood on any podiums, he took home three different 500-dollar prizes for his various antics, and more importantly made an indelible impression on everyone who watched him.

Calgarians were treated to what was arguably the most unique and musically talented Halloween event available for dance-music lovers. Killing on the Dancefloor, presented by Monster Energy and HIFI Club, posted up some of Canada’s best DJ talent at the historic Theatre Junction Grande including the MC and DJ duo of Thunderheist (recognized for their track “Jerk It” from the 2008 critically acclaimed movie The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke). Alongside Thunderheist were the otherworldly turntable skills of Mat the Alien, the vinylpedia of legendary Vinyl Ritchie, the local act with global impact (and featured artist in URB Magazines “Top 25”) Smalltown DJs, Wax Romeo and Homebreakin DJs.

Last week the team at Monster Energy and HIFI club sat in a circle and linked arms in the presence of a toothless clairvoyant. She instructed everyone to stare deep into her steamy Halloween cauldron and with a moldy crooked finger she stirred the pot until there was a ghostly dancer apparition.

The beautiful melancholy dancer spoke of the historical GRANDE theatre built in 1912 and how it’s one of the last few remaining pre-World War I buildings in Canada. She said there is no rest until she shakes it to the ground to a music menu featuring some of Canada’s most incredible party rockers including the MC and DJ duo of Thunderheist (you might recognize their track “Jerk It” from the 2008 critically acclaimed movie The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke).

Alongside Thunderheist will be the otherworldly turntable skills of Mat the Alien, bone crushing party rhythms of Smalltown DJs and casting spells on everyone will be Vinyl Ritchie who’s medium is records only – no digital music. And no parapsychology. Just real deal deadly dance floor anthems.

Rounding out the GRANDE THEATRES most haunting performance will be the supernatural Homebreakin' DJs featuring Wax Romeo, Lorne B and Cal Bass. Hosted by the fiery and lovely Miss Ange from the Vibe 98.5 fm.
