Pat Milbery at Hot Dawgz Last Saturday
With Pat Milbery on the rider invite list for Bear Mountain’s Hot Dawgz & Hand Rails event held on Saturday, September 19th, it seemed obvious what had to be done. Arbor needed to be at the event and be there in force. We rallied the troops, rented a fat pad, printed up a batch of special edition HD&HR bamboo shirts and bandanas and loaded up on stickers, medallions and “Pat heads on a stick†and headed to Big Bear for the main event.
The unique SoCal summertime event went off. For starters, it was the best course ever and the most talented list of riders to date. Arbor pro team rider, Pat Milbery killed it in the qualifiers advancing to the semifinals without question. He wasn’t done there…Pat made his way into the top 10 out of 50 invited riders and found himself in the finals. His smooth style and solid triple lines on the rider’s right side of the course were winning big points with the judges. If not for the crazy challenge of the “Helbow†rail on the rider’s left side of the course, he probably would have made the podium.
In the end, well over 5000 people showed up for this ultimate pray for snow party and Arbor was there in a big way. If you missed it, you blew it. It was unquestionably a great time and should get shredders pumped on the coming winter. Get out there and buy your new gear because if it turns out to be the big El Niño year that many are predicting, it could be an all-time powder shredding season.
Thanks to everyone who joined the Arbor team at the event. We appreciate your help and your support. A big thanks to Pat Milbery for coming out and killing it.
