Boise Idaho is stoked on potatoes. This may seem boring, but think about it for a bit, potatoes are rad. Without them we wouldn’t have hash browns, french fries, potato guns, or Mr. Potato head. Sounds like a sad world. Fortunately, Boise has got the spud scene on lockdown, making the world a better place one tater at a time. The Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour is thankful of Boise’s hard days of farm labor and wanted to give back to the community with a whole boatload of shredding.
Skate competition as riders killed time waiting for the snow to arrive
It's finally here!
Then, this happened…
The weather in B-Town couldn’t have been more perfect for the shred fest. Riders from all over the state came out of the fields to smother, cover, and chunk the three-feature setup. The event created a local media frenzy, with all four local news stations on-site, broadcasting live feeds of the event to the excited Boise public. With the sounds of Tour DJ Kid Couture filling up the Bronco stadium parking lot and the course prepped and ready, students poured into the lot curious to see what local riders and fellow classmate shredders had to show. As is par for the course, emcee Sub B started the jam off with hilarious commentary and some Thizz dancin’.

As the 25 tons of snow poured onto the setup, the crowd’s stoke factor was at an all time high and it was rubbing off on all the rippers. The Bogus Basin locals came out to terrorize the rails, and that they did. Riders were pouring on the hot-sauce and baking something delicious.
In the end, the white fluffy flakes had been eaten up by the mid-April heat and all that was left was bacon bits, sour cream, and a handful of Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour Boise winners. The snowboarding ladies mashed-potatoed down the 3 contest features. Third place was earned by Emily Boswell, taking home some sick Skullcandy headphones. Francesca Wilson walked away with a new Omatic snowboard after finishing in second, and Raelynd Tarnove took home the cash in first place.

Tater-tot Cameron St. Pierre, competing against 3 of his siblings, proved his position in the family by third place in the Men’s snowboarding division. Cameron was stoked on his new Skullcandy headphones! Ralph Kunz, who followed close behind first place victor Eric Singer to the podium, earned second place and a new Omatic stick.

After the excitement, tour entertainer and hip-hop phenomenon Luck One wowed the crowd with an on-snow performance for the dedicated bunch of Idaho locals. Everyone walked away with their new custom shirts from Cricket Wireless, and smiles on their faces. By now, Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour crew has made it all the way down to Southern California, so be sure to check out our upcoming events in the next two weeks!
