Snowboarders Compete Tonight Across The River

16 of the world’s top snowboarders are in town for tonight’s Red Bull Snowscrapers competition, where they launch off a 150-foot long, 9-story ramp in East River Park for a piece of the $100,000 purse. Gothamist, ever the early risers, got some sick shots from the top of the ramp this morning as the sun rose over the city. I’ve posted one above, but for the rest, click through to Tien Mao’s gallery at Gothamist.
Catch it all starting this afternoon at 3p.m., with the final jam session kicking off at 7:45. And once the boards are off, let Anthrax sing you to sleep with their sweet lullabies, starting at 9.
