First Annual Rhythm and Bruise
5/5/2011
As a friend of the organizers of this event, I have been privy to all the planning, organization and inside information surrounding the First Annual Rhythm and Bruise rhythm section contest at White Pass for quite some time. Even still, the vision I had in my head of a BMX style, technically challenging albeit somewhat mellow course through a couple turns and over a motorcross style tabletop at the end so the finisher could do the obligatory grasser with his (or her) index finger pointed at the heavens was one that I had previously had a hard time shaking until the first emails from the building team started coming in. I had no doubt that this event was going to be cool, and much like the first time you see a boob, you really have no idea how great it will be until you see pictures of it on the internet.
