People in the Bay Area was able to enjoy snow at an 80 degress weather yesterday while 1998 Gold Medalist Jonny Moseley participated in the Big Air Competition. (normally doesn't snow here)

Too bad none of the Pros were wearing Oakleys except for 1 and it's just the A frame with a couple of stickers on his board.

A lot of spectators where wearing Oakleys including ME!!!

Here are some Photo:

and finally it's ME as a spectator making it to the city's newspaper. Too bad I had my arms up or else my RUBY Juliet would have been blaring RED in the photo.

Anything like this happenin' in your city? Too bad SPY optics is the one sponsoring the event so there were no O banners to be found.

That is so bloody awesome. I frickin' love the States! Glad you were there to enjoy it on our behalf Cal. Way too cool. That pick of Mosley with a sunny San Fran day in the background is inspirational.

Thanks Rick, that was really a spectacular event that doesn't come around too often. I wished Oakley would sponsor such event because it's almost like daredevil stuff.

The jump was so awesome that the skiers/boarders jump cleared the intersection with some aerial flips and 360s.

That 3rd picture with me in it shows you how steep the street is. almost like 45 degrees

Some of those San Fran streets have a better slope than most mountains. Good idea to slick them over and snowboard.

Lombard street is just 2 blocks down that steep street. Just FYI for you guys planning to visit SF.

Man that event looks liked it ROCKED!
The 2nd picture is bloody amazing!! Cal do you have a larger version of it? I've got it as my desktop at the moment but if you have a hi res version would you mind emailing it to me please?

sorry Adam, I haven't found one yet but if I do, I'll forward it to you.

looks like this guy is wearing O but I cant figure which since I have never seen a BROWN strap before

I love the teal old-school logo on his ski. Could the goggle be a Crowbar?

Icer air was wicked. There are a couple of Wisdoms with brown straps.

coolest pics i've ever seen

Ahh, thanks Ob. I was thinking A frame

Old school oakley is a good thing to see again.
