Rice brings Red Bull Supernatural to Tribute Boardshop in Nelson Wednesday
By The Nelson Daily Sports
Travis Rice is taking his Red Bull Supernatural competition from the hill at Baldface to Baker Street Wednesday and the staff and management at Tribute Boardshop are “super stoked, for sure.”
The brainchild of snowboarding icon Travis Rice, Red Bull Supernatural is a first-of-its-kind backcountry competition designed to challenge before crowning the best all-around snowboarder on the planet.
However, before the riders hop into the helicopter for the short 10-minute ride to Balface, Rice, Lucas Debari and a few special guests will make a stop at Tribute Boardshop at 556 Baker Street for a public meet and greet session between 6-7 p.m.
“This is a chance for fans and the community to meet a few of the riders, including Travis Rice, who are competing in Red Bull Supernatural,” said Lora Bodmer of Deep Communications.
“They’ll be signing posters as well.”
The Red Bull Supernatural invites elite boarders from throughout the world to Balface for six days on the mountain.
Competitors begin to arrive this week and from Feb. 3-8 will be sequestered to Balface waiting for judges and organizers to select the perfect day to stage the event.
