Ashley 50-50ing her way to her first podium of the weekend 
Mr. Dirksen with Ash and her Golden Boot Award aka free ticket to be in the Legendary Baker Banked Salomon this FebruaryI wanted to share my past weekend with all of you.
So this last weekend started with, the shop I ride for Skjerss'a rail jam annual here in Bend Oregon. 5 girls competing on a huge scaffolding set-up, best turn out in the last 5 years I would say. Climbing crazy ladders and being so high for the jump set-up. Wow it was so fun! I won friday night,the prize a 100 bucks!
Saturday night was the first Oregon Cup it was another rail jam Under the lights at Bachelor. It was another sick set-up. A stair set up with a flat down box with creeper rails on the sides and a down round bar with a good old donkey at the end. 8 girls showed up for that. I ended up winning and the prize was 300 bucks!

Sunday was the 3rd annual Dirksen Derby, Put on by pro shredder Josh Dirksen. Tons of the snowboard Industry showed up for this. It benifits one of our local snowboarders that got paralyzed in USSA Nationals, Tyler Ekland! We raised over $5000 for him and he was in the sit-ski division this year. That was really exciting for me! Well Josh picked me for the golden boot into the Baker Banked slalom for 2010! I have always wanted to go to it and now I am! I am overall super happy!
