Ride Shakedown 14 Quebec

For the 14th edition of this popular snowboard event, Shakedown presented by Videotron Mobile will be back in action on April 4th. This great meeting of slopestyle specialists just moved next door, on the Avila side of Mont Saint-Sauveur, where the 15,000 expected spectators will have more space to celebrate the prowesses of many of the best riders on the planet!

This year, the Shakedown presented by Videotron Mobile renews itself by presenting a one day condensed formula of the event with wall-to-wall action and no downtime. On the program: the amateur qualification where the top three athletes will join the 40 professional riders for Shakedown’s main event (Big Air jump followed by rails), halftime for the mini-pros and last but not least, the Coors Light Rail Jam.

 Sebastien Toutant and Maxence Parrot, two Quebecers who are among the best on the international snowboard scene, have already confirmed their presence among the athletes who will compete against other heavyweights. At stake: $ 40,000 total cash prize, including $ 20,000 to the winner of the main competition.

What distinguishes the Shakedown and contributes to its success is first and foremost its competition format, a laid-back and festive environment where the constraints on the athletes are minimal. At the center of the action, the public benefits from an accessible and entertainment-packed show. Shakedown athletes participate in a slopestyle type of competition that involves the mastery of two distinct disciplines: the jump (Big Air) and ramp section, a rail with different textures that are unveiled at the last minute, a long-awaited moment for athletes and spectators. If guests professional athletes are the essence of the show, amateur snowboarders are also in the game, and valiantly attempt to carve out a place among the pros. Every winter, new talents are discovered!
