There was a spotting in the midwest of signal owners and riders matt hammer and dave lee.

This was an awesome day July 29th 2006. The sun was shining, the heat index was in the
100's, and it was as humid as a swimming pool locker room, this was the perfect combo for
some down home midwest snowboarding, complete with the 20foot tall bails of hay if you
over shot the ledge.

Fresh Tip Design and Doug Fresh had been working late into the night to get this
monstrosity of a rail set up together. Over the weeks they had poured their hearts and
souls into making this thing a reality with lots of dedicated manhours.

Rising 40 feet above the scorching hot parking lot of Pinewski's in Anoka,MN was one of
the largest rail/ledge combos ever to call the midwest home.

Midwest signal rider Jake Olson-Elm took home the $400 dollar second place prize purse.
Matt Hammer, Dave Lee, and Stephen Meyer were on hand to stoke the riders out on the word
of signal Snowboards.

One lucky rider from the Zombie board shop in Burnsville, MN walked away that day with a
snowboard personally given to him by Matt Hammer, just because the kid was so genuine and
nice.

The support for a summer event of this magnitude was overwhelming and is just proof of
the dedication of the midwest's love of this sport that we call snowboarding.
