Unless you were off the grid this past weekend (in which case, we're jealous), you definitely saw the madness that descended on Portland, Oregon at Rockstar Energy's third annual Open contest along the river in downtown Portland. We shot a ton of photos and video content, we hosted the live webcasts on our Youtube, I even hopped in the broadcast booth with Chris Roberts and Shane Heyl on Saturday.
Chloe Covell dominated all weekend and took first in Women's Park to noone's surprise. Blair Alley
We rubbed shoulders with industry heavies at Sandy Hut, Union Jack's, and on the sidewalk in front of the Moxy Hotel (which Rockstar rented out all weekend, had DJs and bands play in the lobbby, and had a free glizzy cart out front). Man, Portland is fun as hell to visit, especially when the weather is good. So here's a mega gallery to scroll through to give you some good ol' FOMO.
