Vans Mini Cup Stop #2 Loon Mountain Recap

The Vans Mini Cup stop #2 at Loon Mountain, New Hampshire went off with a bang! The New England sun poked its head out and the 101 competitors proved to be the best riders we've seen in the Mini Cup so far. The Loon set up was super good and the park crew was hyped to see the action get thrown down on their features so early in the season. Judges Darrell Mathes, Scotty Arnold and Doran Laybourn warmed up the action with some for-runs and then it was on for all the 16 and unders to get their go at the course. After, the 16 and older ams started destroying the course from every angle. The riding was definitely on the next level and the decision for the judges was hard. In the end, Eileen Koontz and Forrest Bailey walked away with the money and wrapped up a great day in New Hampshire.
