Arbor
Team Rider, Colleen Quigley,
Takes 1st at the East Coast Invitational Rail Jam
Venice, California (12/21/04) -
On Saturday, December 18th, Arbor Ambassador Team rider, Colleen
Quigley, stepped up and took first place at the East Coast Invitational
Rail Jam, held at Wachusett Mountain, MA.
The
East Coast Invitational offered one of the largest cash purses
that a New England snowboard contest has ever seen. Colleen
had an awesome day. She rode with unmatched style and walked
away with a fat cash purse for her first place finish.
"The
set-up was great, there were tons of options that allowed every
rider make their session into whatever they wanted," said
Colleen. "My favorite feature was definitely the down-flat-down
rail. It was super challenging, and ended up being the place
where everyone threw down."
Contests
aside, Colleen was genuinely stoked on the level of riding that
went down, and the turnout at Wachusett. "The event was
great and it was so good to see everyone pushing their riding
and having a rad time," said Colleen.
"We
couldn't be more proud of Colleen. She's a full-on ripper, who
is proving her skills daily," says Arbor co-founder, Bob
Carlson. Colleen, along with U.S. Open halfpipe winner Rob Kingwill,
acclaimed rider/photographer Mikey Basich, and Euro-ripper Rene
Biedenkap, make up the Arbor Ambassador Team.
Colleen
is already looking ahead, "Much thanks to Eastern Boarder
and Wachusett for probably the greatest contest Mass has ever
seen. I'm really looking forward to next year - it will be super
fun."
