Nations Foundation was out in full force at the 5^th annual Downtown Throwdown.  The event was held at Occidental Park in Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square and covered in 30 tons of snow, with rails, barrels, wall ramp, amped crowd, confused tourists, photographers and 25 invited shredders.

 

Our very own Nick Visconti was defending his title after winning the 2009 Event.  As Jib jams go the Downtown Throwdown has become the biggest urban snowboarding event in North America. “This rail jam is the premier event of the early season because it doesn’t have the aura of a contest. It really is a family of snowboarders smiling, shredding, and getting the public amped on the season,” says Nick.

 

The Nations crew consisting of staff, core team, and a bunch of stoked groms was out supporting Nick and handing out our film “ONEYEAR”.  With signs reading “Nicktory” in hand and over 400 hundred Films now in the hands of spectators, this Rail Jam is a wrap.
