Snowboarders Unlock the State Capitol! | Red Bull Heavy Metal

Since street snowboarding’s emergence in the late nineties, Minnesota has been a breeding ground for rail riding precision—the sort of immaculate technique to which others aspire. On Saturday, February 10th, the mayor of Saint Paul, Melvin Carter, stood on the terrace of the Minnesota State Capitol Building. Directly behind him was a snow run-in, a small-but-powerful winch, and a sizeable jump. Mayor Carter held up a framed document and proclaimed February 10th 'Red Bull Heavy Metal Day' in the city of Saint Paul, echoing the sentiments of the Minnesota Governor’s state-wide mandate the day before. Then the mayor stepped out of the way so 32 of the best street snowboarders in the game could snowboard the Capitol. That's definitely an NBD.
