Bills for Spills was a Success!

Last weekend enclave was part in New Haven's first rail jam called 'Bills for Spills'. Red Bull, Heal Clothing, Hunter Mountain and enclave all teamed up to bring something new to New Haven and for a good cause! All $10 tickets contributed to HEAL.
There was a good turn out plus a lot of people walking to and from dinner that stopped to watch the guys throw down on the set-up. Some were confused, surprised and interested. All in all it was a success! People won a snowboard, others won outerwear and other free goodies. The Red Bull girls were there to make sure everyone had a red bull in their hand and if you were of age, a free red bull cocktail.

Here are some pictures from the night!

RIP Shane McConkey.

On March 26 2009 legendary skier, base jumper, father, friend and idol was killed in a base jumping accident in Italy. He was 39 years old. He reportedly experienced problems in the air while filming a ski-base jump with Matchstick productions and Red Bull.

He has been an idol to young skiers and extremists out there and will truly be missed by all. He is survived by his wife Sherry and his 3 1/2 year old daughter.

It is such a sad and tragic accident and just a reminder to all in the extreme sports world that you can't take anything for granted. Shane was a pioneer in the skiing video world with his ground breaking and entertaining segments that inspired so many of the freestyle skiers out there.

Rest in peace. 1969-2009.
