DNA Rail Jam- Boise Idaho

My Nephew Charles is very involved in freestyle, ariel, mougal, and rail skiing. One of his sponsers is DNA. They had a rail jam in Boise so we all went to see it. Basically people ski or snowboard down metal rails and do lots of tricks. It was really neat to see him in his element and to have the whole family (except Chuck) together. Charles came in first for skiiers and also won best trick- 540 on, 270 off.


The family at Old Chicago for a bite to eat before the competition.


Davis wouldn't stay still while waiting for food, so Grandma G and Katelyn took him to a fountain to play.

Everyone eating (and eating- the meals were huge!)

Preliminaries

Another run

Grandma G, Jayme and baby Gracie

Another trick


Katelyn and Carly went and sat in the VIP section, and of course Davis had to go sit with them. (it also didn't hurt that they had a rice crispy treat... as you can see Davis dug right in.)

Finals (thats the state capital in the background)



The smile of a winner!

Getting his prize. In this competition the winner is invited to Las Vegas for the Ski show in Jan. They go with DNA and do tricks on the rails at the show for others to see! Charles went last year and can't wait to go again! Hmm, maybe we should go and support him in Vegas!
