The Eighth Dirksen Derby went down at Mt. Bachelor, OR, December 12-14, 2014. As much as a race and a fundraising event for Tyler Eklund, it’s a communal kickoff gathering for the snowboard tribe. We were on hand to rally some berms and stretch the legs in a bit of early season powder. A huge thank you to Mt Bachelor, Josh Dirksen, and all who volunteered their time and efforts to provide us all with a fantastic long weekend!
