Rail Jammin' Gallery

Here at Method we are big fans of rail jams. There is nothing like a public display of radical maneuvers and human sacrifice to kick off the season. The past two weekends just saw what might be the two best rail jams ever to go down in Europe. The (by now) classic and industry standard Frontline Rail Jam just put on its 8th annual jam in Stockholm, and the Protest Rock A Rail with its jaw-dropping setup in The Hague just had their second round. Dasha Nosova and her fast fingers were at both events to snap up some sharp flicks to help us look back at how fuckin' rad the kids that throw down at these death-defying, most excellent displays of skill and testicular fortitude really are! We're jammin', we're jammin'... And we hope you like jammin' too!Ambiguously deadly livestream commentator duo, Chris Cab + ADT (aka The Tzatziki Thrasher) throwing laser eyes before the firecracker show began up in Stockholm at the Frontline Rail Jam.Ronny on the live mic, keeping the Swedish masses hyped and informed.The host with the most, Kareem El Rafie on the switch back board through the kink before getting back to running the event.Stepan Rokos is trying really hard to not touch the snow.Caroline Degardh is a ripper.

He won best trick on this rail doing something else.Our homie Robban from Blind Spot Visuals getting that shot, another angle on Halldor, you can never got enough of this goof.Wojtek Pawlusiak cocking the bazooka for a 27 out of this back board. 2nd place overall went to the Polish powerhouse.Swodoba the snowboda, landing one of the million tricks that he stuck to take the W.The Red Bull herd was all smiles for their fellow bovines riding.
