Whistler’s Partysnake Again? Premiere RecapPosted by: Paul Rak |Whistler, B.C., Canada
Partysnake Again? is the second of two Vancouver based films that showcase the antics and shredding of some of Mount Seymour’s liveliest contributors. The Partysnakes’ presence is unmistakably legendary. When you walk into a party featuring the Snakes you will notice there is no party like it; fasten your seatbelts. Buffalo Bills Bar had no problem filling their establishment with wall-to-wall partiers. With outstanding DJing from the Eh Teams DJs, featuring DJ ILLO and HEDSPIN, the night was rocking all night long.
Partysnake has definitely made an impression on the Whistler scene; but even more so now, it has become one of the most talked about movies of the year. One has to wonder if perhaps the Partysnake himself, and his venomous bite, has something to do with it.

The Monster Energy Slopestyle at Crankworx Continues to Leave a Throng of Gaping Mouths and Inspired MassesPosted by: Joanna Majcherkiewicz |Tagged in: Whistler , Vinyl Ritchie , Slopestyle , Shaun Palmer , Sam Hill , Mix Master Mike , Mat the Alien , Lance McDermott , Jamie Goldman , EH Team DJs , DJ Illo , Crankworx 2009 , Canadian Open DH , Brendan Fairclough
August 16, 2009 – Whistler, BC – I lost count somewhere around 17,234 and instead decided to just write that A LOT of people were huddled at the base of Whistler mountain for the revered main event of the Crankworx mountain bike festival; the Monster Energy Slopestyle. There are thirteen sanctioned Crankworx events over nine days but it’s Saturday’s main feature that will leave the greatest impression in most people’s minds. Deservedly so with large imaginative features and dare devilish maneuvers from the likes of Cam McCaul, Cameron Zink, local favorite Brandon Semenuk and 2008’s champion Andreu Lacondeguy. Brandon Semenuk seemed poised to continue his incredible winning streak but in the end was edged out by an incredibly solid run by Greg Watts. Martin Soederstrom rounded out the podium in 3rd place.
A dreamy vantage point for the slopestyle finals was the Monster Energy Hospitality Rig nestled beside the SRAM Tunnel of Love feature on the course. Here you could catch the perfectly stomped landings alternated by bone crushing slams including Cam Zink’s over-rotated front flip which left him with a broken foot (but I heard he enjoyed a self-administered cocktail of over-the-counter pain killers and bubbly to ensure he didn’t miss a moment of the slopestyle). The crowd reaction was insane! “This is our X Games!”, exclaimed Kona’s Graham Agassiz who was sidelined because of a broken collarbone from a previous event. Other contenders joining Graham on the bench were injured Monster athletes, and Kranked's "Revolve" film stars, Jamie Goldman and Lance McDermott. Contributing to the allure of one of Whistler’s most anticipated annual events were the professional athlete sightings including Monster Energy Athletes Sam Hill and legend Shaun Palmer. Twenty-four year old Australian Sam Hill is infamous for crushing races with massive time gaps and Sunday’s Canadian Open DH (Downhill) event unfolded accordingly with Sam crossing the finish line eight seconds ahead of fellow Monster Energy athlete, UK’s Brendan Fairclough. Steve Smith rounded out an impressively stacked podium by placing third. Racing in a different category was Monster Energy athlete and action sports legend Shaun Palmer who dropped into the Giant Dual Slalom course and made an impressive Quarter Final finish. An amazing achievement for someone who is pushing fourty years old and is simultaneously a professional mountain biker, snowboarder, skier, and amateur tattoo artist (the latter is just a speculation).
As the slopestyle acrobatics came to a close, anticipation began to build for the grande finale party presented by Monster Energy at the Longhorn Bar featuring Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys. Joining Mix Master Mike were some of the finest music makers in Canada; DJ Illo from the EH Team DJs, Vinyl Ritchie and Mat the Alien. People arrived exceptionally early to claim a piece of Longhorn property so they wouldn’t miss one of the world’s most celebrated turntablists perform. When Mix Master Mike finally took the stage it was body-sardines all the way to his turntables. He blazed through songs in one-minute intervals providing a constant blast of ear candy and turntablism with a good number of Beastie Boys songs thrown into the set. Hands were up in the air for a long time and when they finally came to rest and the bar lights turned on and the smoke machine turned off there was satisfaction in the air. Before the gang at Troy Lee Designs headed out, including Troy Lee himself, Mix Master Mike was handed a limited edition helmet signed by Shaun Palmer and Troy Lee. An appropriate gesture at an event that celebrates the evolution of mountain biking and having a collective good time.
