Loon mountain hosted the east coast classic event "Eastern boarder Last Call" for the 14 time. This event is defiantly the favorite event all east coast riders. The competition was a whos who of east coast riders featuring all the big names in the east. The course made by the legendary  loon mountain park staff took the event set up to the next level. The course features a mini pipe only comparable to the summer pipe to pipe set up at Mount Hood. The mini pipe had a up flat lift tower poll, and a the "High Cascade" rail on the other side of the pipe. Also the Last Call classic big air feature this year was the 80 foot step down jump, the riders stepped up there game on this jump throwing down a one footed indie grab, double back flip, and what would a jump session be with out a back double 1080. Lastly the hart and sole of the Last Call event the wall ride section. This year the park staffed skipped out on having features on top of the quaterpipe wall to bring all the attention to brand new loon wall ride. Tyler Lheruex winning the Big air section and the wall ride section left with competition with a pocketful of cash and the first place spot.
