The third installment of this year's Snake Session began this previous Saturday in Buckhill MN.one of the only places in the world that didn't get the memo on global warming.

Over 60 competitors showed up to try and get a spot on Saturday's podium. The course was divided into two sections, and riders were broken up into two separate, 30 minute heats: The first on a double jump-line consisting of two gaps, and the other on a rail line that included a downhill flatbar, and a flat-down box set up. Half an hour later, the groups flip-flopped and in the end, six finalists were chosen to prove themselves on the jumps and flatbar.
