Rome's I HEART BOX tour in Sacto

Last Saturday, Rome Snowboards and Ground Zero Board Shops put on the final tour stop in the Rome I HEART BOX tour, in Sacramento, Ca. I'm lucky enough to manage the Natomas location of Ground Zero, which just so happened to be where Rome was putting on the tour stop. With a flatbed truck, 5 tons of snow, and the aforementioned box, Rome stoked out legions of kids and gave Sacramento a much needed snowboarding fix. I diddn't get a chance to take a ton of pictures because I had to spend most of my day working in the shop, but I managed to catch a few during set up and the warm up runs of the jam.

The Rome guys getting everything set up. These guys worked their asses off to make sure the setup was legit. Thanks a lot to all of em.

The afterparty that night was a little rough. Very few pictures were suitable for public consumption.

Holy Cow! All the way from Vermont, It's Ryan Runke!

John Graham (Rome) and Jim Linnberg (k2). John is the mastermind behind the whole tour and worked his ass off for it. And he gave me some bindings! Thanks Graham

Well, thats all for now. Big thanks to John Graham, Ryan Runke, Rome Snowboards, Ground Zero, and whoever gave me a glass of water at the end of the night!
