Remember Nike 6.0's Greatest Hits thing where they're reconstructing spots up at Seymour? Well, the first feature to be reconstructed is the Red Ledge, a daunting concrete monster whose big brother is located at Montmorency Falls in Quebec City. Made famous by seasoned film crews, the Red Ledge may be wide, but it’s steep and fast - and don’t underestimate the power of that bottom kink. Many banger tricks have gone down here while several other brave souls have been broke off at the Ledge.
“I remember the first time I saw someone hit the Red Ledge and it looked surreal. I’ve always wanted to ride it, but just haven’t made it that way. I’m pumped it will be in my backyard at Mt. Seymour and available for all the local riders to hit!” Kevin Sansalone, Nike 6.0 Canada Snow Mentor.
To unveil the Red Ledge, Nike 6.0 is hosting a grassroots jam session at Mt. Seymour this Saturday, January 30th. The free jam session, open to all, goes down 11:00 AM-3:00 PM, and includes food, music, and 6.0 product giveaways. Be sure to bring your bangers - 6.0 hired a professional photographer to snap pics of the session and riders with the best shots will win 6.0 product. For the event, Mt. Seymour has graciously thrown down a free season pass for one lucky rider who cast a vote in the local Vancouver feature contest.
If you want to shred you're going to have to sign a waiver because this thing is nuts and you could get broken off! If you're under 18 you'll have to get your parents to sign it. Download it HERE.
Also, along with the international spots they're building at Seymour, don't forget that they're also building a legendary local shred spot that we encouraged you to vote for a little while back by visiting some local shops with ballot boxes. The votes have been tallied and the winner isn't so much a spot but an obstacle: those power boxes that get shredded in Vancouver, Kelowna and across the country. Pictured below is Kaitlin Weisenberger at Coastal Riders, she was one of the winners of the prize draw. Stay tuned for news on the other obstacles as they're introduced (don't forget to VOTE for your favourite) and be sure to head up to Seymour this weekend to check out the Red Ledge.
