Annual Rally for Rocker!!@rockermemorialskatepark
This event brings snowboarders together to raise money for our Truckee Skatepark as we celebrate the life of Steve “Rocker” Anderson 
Update on the build: 
The grassroots Truckee Skatepark Lighting & Expansion team united with RMSP. In 2015, TDRPD approved our plan and granted use of the land on the corner of Estates Drive and Brockway Road adjacent to the existing skatepark. And in June 2022 all permitting was finalized. Now all we need to do is raise construction funds. If we can reach our goal, we can start building as early as Summer 2024.
Please continue to follow and donate so the build can begin this summer.

“I was getting a lot of negative feedback….”
If you know, you know.

30 years ago today I did the first descent of Mendenhall Towers in Alaska. It was an incredible experience and something I will never forget. It was a huge moment in my life and the stoke from the crew as I successfully rode out onto the glacier was all time. @aaronchang, our photographer that trip told me it was the heaviest thing he’s ever seen. That meant a lot coming from a guy that was a staple of North Shore surf photography. Here are a few quotes from fellow riders with their take on the line. 

Dave’s line on Mendenhall Towers had a profound impact on my life to the point I remember the exact spot I was standing when I saw the pic in Surfer Mag. In a single line he changed both skiing and snowboarding by showing us that you could ride lines that steep and big in powder. It was a quantum leap in big mountain riding that kicked off a decade of major progression.” — Jeremy Jones

When Dave was about to drop in on Mendenhall Towers I was thinking, ‘I hope my brother does not die right now riding this line.’ I was totally freaking out and could barely hold the camera steady to film it. There was a heated discussion before Dave rode Mendenhall Towers for the first time. Our guide and most of our crew were very concerned that Dave was pushing the limit to far. We thought he might die riding it and we tried to talk him out of it. Nobody had ridden anything that steep and exposed, so there was nothing to gauge how crazy it was. The conditions were perfect and Dave knew it was a total go. Once he rode that line the big mountain game was changed forever.” — Mike Hatchett

Big thanks to everyone who supported me that day and my hats off to all the other people that have dropped in on this beast.
