Dave Seoane, life sentence
What do you get when you combine 80s era neon snow gear, vintage snowboards with sketchy bindings, a shovel-made jump ditch, and a handful of early snowboarding's most colorful characters? You get the 5th annual 'Legends of Snowboarding' event at Donner Ski Ranch, and you get a live snow show that is half hall-of-fame ceremony, half comedy skit and half halfpipe event. (Yes, I was never good at math.)
On Saturday March 14th, the gang converged again on The Ranch and engaged in a friendly freestyle battle, with the sum of the entry fees—$520—on the line for the winners. Men's winners were Mike Basich (1), Chris Roach (2) and Jason Borgstede (3) and Tina Basich rocked the women, making it a Basich sweep. Other legends in attendance included Dave Seoane, Dave Alden, Bob Klien, Terry Kidwell, Edgar 'Pineapple' Rivera, Tom Burt, Joel Gomez, three dudes from Italy, Jeff Grell and Jeff Brushie, among others.
