So it was a long week of important phone calls with important people,faxes,taxes,paper clips, and only one morning shred session. With that being said, Erik Leines and I (Jon Spiris) decided to end the week with a solid skate sesh. Good ol' Clansman Brandon Hammid stopped by to join the fun.

Cel-fact 101-Brandon Hammid signed up to be a part of the Celtek Clan a few years ago, now Brandon is tearin up the mountain as a Clan-local-team rider. It sure is a true Cinderella story.

Check out these photos from the skate-a-thon.

Celtek Canadian Riders Jess Kimura (BC) and Jeremy Cloutier (Montreal) held it down for the Clan at the Alternative Groove's Snowmission Contest in Quebec. This contest was insane they gave away a Polaris RMK 800 for first and heavy cash prizes all the way down. Jess is one of Celtek's female riders out of BC, Canada. She slayed it and took home best trick and $1,000. Jeremy is a young up and coming star out of Montreal, this kid is insane and has been putting out solid video parts, check him out in the latest Brothers Factory flick. Jeremy walked away with 5th and $500 bucks.Keep your eye on these two, they are charging!

There is a solid crew running the streets and backcountry,and they go by the name-VARIETY PACK! They have a new flick they are working on called-Not Bad! Variety Pack is made up of some of the best up and coming riders around. From Celtek Canadian rider-Matt Belzile to SLC locals like Ben Hanish, Sean Black, and Alex Andrews. With Eddie Grams behind the camera you know that solid shots will follow. A recent addition to the Celtek SLC locals is Brandon Hammid. Brandon has been riding for only about 5 years now, and he is starting to make his mark. He had a killer ender in a local flick last year put out by DinoBots, and now is filming with Variety Pack. I've seen some clips of him this year, and that kid can press. Get ready to have your minds blown! Here are some photos of Brandon from this year.

He score the best trick with a killer front 3 onto the downbar! Phil is straight out of the Quebec scene.Killer stunts out there Phil!

I packed up the tent and grabbed some goodies and headed up to the Jazz Jam at Brighton, Utah. This is a basketball themed rail jam that went off! It was one of the quickest and heaviest rail jams I have ever seen. It was incredible to watch the heats go down. Today was one of the few days I have been able to ride this year, and instead of lapping the park I caught myself sitting down for the action.  Celtek Clan Pro rider Gabby Maiden was there and throwin down, she walked away with 2nd place in the womans division! Then in the mens open class Celtek Clan rider Alex Andrews was pressing his way around the setup with a Back 3 to 5-0 as high as your FACE! Then SLC local and Clan rider Brandon Hammid was doing everything from back 180 5-0s to switch backside 270-270 our on the insane down flat rail.That kid kills it! But Clan rider Sean Black walked away with Third place with the smoothest stlye and stompin everything he put down. The Clan was representing in full-effect! You can see all three,Sean,Brandon, and Alex in Variety Pack's newest flick "Not Bad" look for it this fall! Exclusively here at Celtek! It was the best session I have seen in a long time. A big thanks goes out the Zane Miller for having us up for the day! and Jared Winkler and the Brighton Park Crew for putting together a sick setup!Check out these photos!
Clayton Brown came up and helped. Watch out for him lappin the Brighton Park on the daily.
