Red Bull's BEST STOMP is BACK!

Red Bull returns with their iconic party car with pumping speakers, and plenty of energy for riders and fans. Their fan-favorite Best Stomp trick category is back — rewarding the night’s most flawless, hardest-hitting landing. When you hear the crowd explode, you’ll know someone stomped gold. Whichever rider hits the Best Stomp goes home with $1,000 plus a chance to win overall Men's or Women's which both take home another $2,000. If someone wins both they have a chance to take home $3,000!

Jibba Jabba Citywide Weekend: Houghton’s Ultimate Winter Block Party

Jibba Jabba isn’t just hitting Huron Street this year — it’s spilling into all of downtown. Shops, cafés, and hangouts are rolling out specials, pop-ups, late nights, and all kinds of Jibba-themed mischief that turn Houghton into a full winter block party.

Then comes the main event: the roar of the crowd, boards flying, and Huron Street transformed into the peninsula’s loudest snow-packed runway. Stake out your spot from the hill to the pier, snap a selfie at the Jibba Jabba frame, snag some Red Bull swag, and refuel with on-site eats!
