For the 4th year in a row, Milwaukee’s premier skate / street / snow lifestyle shop, Moda3 will be sending out some positive vibes to the snow gods with Boardfest on September 22nd. 50 tons of snow will be made so that 50 fearless competitors can start their season early as they scale "Mt. Milwaukee" and chuck themselves onto, over and at a 25 stair handrail. In addition to the snowboarding, there will be a mini-ramp jam, autograph sessions, a fashion show, live music, live art, raffles and giveaways – and this is just outside! Inside there will be representatives from the best brands in snowboarding to answer all of your questions on ’08 product (which happens to be on sale for one night only) and a massive clearance sale of previous seasons snow gear, streetwear and kicks all at serious discounts.
