Saturday August 11th was the evening of the Gravis Open Sessions
jam 3. It was intended conclude the last day of the contest but
due to weather delays it preceded the last day. Nonetheless it
still went off. Shapeshifters were the headliner band and they
rocked a sell out crowd that was hyped. The Shapeshifters are a
New Zealand band that offers heavy drum and bass music for one
to dance their face off to. This was followed by one of two
after parties to chose from. One taking place at Barluga, a bar
in town. The other taking place at a spot known as the outlet,
basically a large tent in a field with a DJ booth and lots of
people. It was an entertaining evening.  The Quarterpipe Jam
event of the open was intended for the evening of Friday August
10th, but was cancelled due to high winds. It finally went down
after the halfpipe finals on Sunday. It was a quick session with
last light of the day and riders were faced with a small window
to ride it in. Some riders really stood out on it though, New
