Bull Of The Woods 2015

In the Heart of Colorado Snow Country

 

Towards the end of the season it is always hard to find good snow. The next best thing to do is grab your buds, some buds, the buds and head into the trees in search of some crazy log jibs. That is exactly what it is all about, a group of friends building features for themselves in the woods and The Bull Of The Woods has turned into something much larger than that small group of friends. The same vibe is there just on a larger scale, the event is 100% rider built and 100% rider judged. This year the event was being held at Colorado legend Jay Nelson’s property out side of Breckenridge. The word was that it was going to be held between April 3rd and 5th weather permitting the date of the contest...

 

The contest was finally announced to be held on the 4th of April. I flew out to Breckenridge a day early and was able to help out with whatever I could. As I flew in there was a nice little storm front that was rolling threw the rockies. It ended up putting down about 12” giving the features that extra little snow they needed for the event. The day before the contest I was able to help build some features and put the final touches on the set up with the boys. Everyone worked so hard to make the event happen: Moses, Ronnie Barr, Kevin Ghee, Cory Schmidt, Jay Nelson, The Impalers, Nightmare and so many other rad people. It is amazing what a bunch of like minded people can do with what is accessible and around them. The set up was pure gold…

The day of the contest everyone was getting shuttled up in trucks or making the trek out to the site on foot. It was rad to walk up and see the Bull of The Woods sign hanging over the road gap, it made it feel pretty damn official. The features where beastly and intimidating. A bunch of people got bucked off the bull, but a number of riders where destroying logs and made their way in to the finals. Some of those riders where Zack Griffin, Seth Carlsrud, Matt Coughlin, Chedda, Sean Brady, Chris Syphert, Hunter Frutchey, Austin Gregory… Everyone was logging hard in the finals and were getting buck wild on both features. 

The dude that was the most gnarly and consistent on every feature was named this year 2015 Bull of The Woods - Matt Coughlin, Tied for second - Chedda and Austin Gregory. 

While the next years location and date has gone back to being a secret, one thing isn't a secret; The Bull Of The Woods is a special and unique event, one like no other. Keep an eye and an ear out in the years to come about this event, this bull is about to start breaking china.
