RedBull Buttercup Recap

This weekend put the RedBull Buttercup 2012 to rest.  The Arena was packed with spectators looking to see some wood and p-tex flexed beyond comprehension.  The advent of reverse camber snowboards has certainly raised the bar for this jam.  Competitors are no longer allowed to simply lean in the direction of what used to be defined as a press.  We're calling for serious base graphic recognition in each photo these days.

 This photo was the exception to the rule.  Matt noseblunting from flat isn't a butter, but it's so nice it doesn't even require a color photograph.   This is why he took home the gold.
