7Kings....It's time to Krown another.

7Kings was so fun last year (check out the video from last year ^above), we can't wait to see what it's like this year. This event consists of 7 Mini-events; Rock Paper Scissors, R.A.D., High Ollie, Dice Capades, Spin-To-Win, Tweeked Method, and a Best Trick Quarterpipe Jam.

This is how 7Kings goes down.

Paper-Rock-Scissors: From two lines. Each player will face the player directly in front of them. They will say, “rock-paper-scissors-shoot” and on “shoot” each player will throw their choice. The winner will stay on and the loser will walk. We will reform lines until we are down to the top two people. They will face off in best 2/3. That will determine the winner.

RAD: The location will be at the flat box. We call out rider order (is not biased on skill just for sake of order) the first rider will throw a trick and if they land their trick then the following rider must do the exact same trick. If the second rider makes the trick then it moves on to the 3rd rider. If the rider missed the trick they will receive a Letter. If a rides receives the letters then they have spelled the word RAD and must leave the game. Once a trick is missed it is up to the next rider to set another trick. This will con
tinue on until there is only one rider left.

High Ollie: We will set up high jump equipment on the knuckle of the landing ramp. Each rider will go in the same order of the RAD game and see if they can pop over the high jump. If they succeed then they get to stay in, if they miss then they are out. After each full rotation of riders the poll will be moved up. This will continue on until there is only one rider left.

Dice-Capades: Each rider will roll the dice and then perform the trick that is given to them. The tricks will be thrown on the 3 or 6 ft jump. If the rider doesn’t land their trick they will have to leave the game.
Spin to Win: Each rider will launch off of the big kicker and throw each spin. Starting at a 360 > . Each rider will go and try the spin. If they don’t land it then they are out, if they do they continue to the next round. Each round a 180 will be added to the spin.

Most Tweaked Method: Each rider will attempt their most tweaked out method grab. (skiers If enter will do an x-up) the rider with the best tweak wins.

Quarterpipe Best Trick: Jam format 30min (more depending on number of riders) must hit quarter pipe/ wall ride. Best trick wins.


They start at Noon and will go to 6pm. It is free to enter. And we are not closing the slopes down.





SouthEastSnow.com had some great things to say about LMSC's events...

" The crew at LMSC has been working really hard this year and has put on some great events already.  The Fall Jam was a pre-season event, to see who had been working on their skills in the off-season.  Fall Jam brought some stellar riding, with some huge spins being thrown.  The Snowshoe Open brought riders from all over to compete in a Big Air and Rail Jam.  And then there was the DeMoss Rail Jam, that awarded one of the biggest cash prizes this area has ever seen.  With three great competitions under their belt, there is no telling how fun and exciting '7 Kings' will be.  I guess there is only one way to find out.  Be there!"

Liberty Mountain Snowflex Centre Hosts DeMoss Jam on Liberty University Campus

This was the first event LMSC has ever has on REAL snow much less on a concrete stair set, in front of one of the biggest buildings on campus. Plans were to get ice shavings from the hockey rink and to make snow with the "home-made" snowgun but the warm temps had the crew worried. The day before the event, Wintergreen Resort trucked in a huge pile of snow to help the event to go off with out a hitch.

Heres the first video of the event. The only bangers in this one were peoples heads slamming but it's a great edit overall. People were wrecking themselves at the chance to take home $1,000. Check some of it out here!

DeMoss Building Rail Jam




This event will take place on the steps of the DeMoss Building, right in the middle of Liberty University Campus. Ice shavings will be brought in from the Ice Centre and also LMSC has a 'home-made' snowmaker that will be blowing snow for this event! There will be two features, one of which will be brand new for this event. With a little help from mother nature and The LaHaye Ice Center, and the LMSC Crew, this event is going to be a blast!
