Roxy Chicken Jam Update: Calling All Mascots!

By Mia | Published February 10th, 2010

Hot Dog Rocked

Each year the Mascot Superpipe Competition at the Roxy Chicken Jam is one of my favorite events…I mean, what could be more entertaining than watching a giant man in a hot dog suit snowboarding down a superpipe? Not much!

This year the Mascot Superpipe Competition is back! It’s on Saturday, March 27th and open competitors of all ages and levels. It’s only open to the first 50 competitors so if you wanna compete you best register early.

Details below:

CALLING ALL MASCOTS! Come decked out in full mascot costume and compete against the Roxy Chicken and Woolly from Mammoth Mountain in the MASCOT SUPERPIPE COMPETITION

- $6k Prize Purse! $3k for 1st, $2k for 2nd, $1k for 3rd

-   Register on the 3rd floor of the Main Lodge starting Wednesday, March 24th from 8am-3pm.  Registration will continue on Thursday and Friday and close on Saturday at 10am.

-  You MUST show your complete costume upon registration

-  Costumes can be anything creative, but must be a full head to toe costume

-  You will be judged just like a normal pipe competition, with added points for the difficulty of your costume.  For example, you will get more points if you pull a trick with a huge mascot head on than if you pull the same trick without anything on your head.

-  Registration is open to the first 50 competitors, no exceptions

-  Competitors of all ages and levels are encouraged to enter.  Each competitor will receive two runs (no practice runs) and the best overall run will be scored.  There are pro riders in the competition and it is a 22’ pipe.  Everyone will be judged the same regardless of age or level.

A Day in the Life of Cedar!

By Jennifer Andrews | Published February 1st, 2010

A Day in the Life of…CREATIVE, COOL CEDAR:

ROXY’S AMAZING EVENT MANAGER

Cedar_Wakiki(Cedar on the North Shore of Oahu)

 Job Title/Description of what you do: I am the Events Manager. I work in the Marketing department and manage all the events for the women’s brands at Quiksilver which include Roxy, Quiksilver Womens, Raisins, Radio Fiji, and Leilani.  Events give me the opportunity to work on many different types of projects.  I produce and manage all of our sporting events, such as surf contests and snowboarding contests (join us at Roxy Chicken Jam!), as well as any sort of product launch event, tour or movie premiere.  In addition to this I also manage and produce all our photoshoots.  This means finding and choosing models that represent the brands the best, and booking hair stylists, make-up artists, photographers, and cool locations.

Time worked at ROXY:
5 years…whoa, time flies!

Defining moment at Roxy:
In my five years here I’ve had many defining moments at Roxy, but the most memorable was during my first big event, the Roxy Pro Hawaii.  I stood back and took everything in – the huge event set-up, all the people making it happen on site, all the best surfers in the world, and the perfect waves of the North Shore of Oahu.  I thought to myself, “Wow, I made this happen.”  To realize this was an amazing feeling which let me know I made the right choice in my career and made all the hard work worth it.

Fav part of working for ROXY:
The people!  I’ve made some of my best friends here.  There are so many people here at Roxy who share my two main interests, fashion and surfing!  Where else can you talk about the hottest new trends then catch a quick surf on your lunch break?

 
Style Icon/Style Inspiration:
Wow, where to start?!  Kate Moss and Sienna Miller are both amazing with their unique, sexy and effortless style.  They definitely continue to inspire me year after year.  Rachel Bilson seems to always be very well put together.  Sarah Jessica Parker makes me want to wear even the craziest stuff because it looks so great on her!

 
Go-To Fashion Item or Outfit right now:
Tights!  I just got the most amazing BCBG Max Azria tights with huge cut-outs in them.  I wear them with some sort of tunic and flat boots.  I’m also loving all the fun tights Roxy makes, styled under my boyfriend shorts with motorcycle boots.

 
Advice to Readers:
Style advice – Wear what you want and rock it with confidence!  If you feel great and confident in what you are wearing chances are you look great too.  Have fun with it!
Career Advice – Pick a career you have an interest in, not just something that you think is practical or will make you lots of money.  If you are passionate about what you do the money will come.  You spend most of your adult life at work so you want to enjoy it!

 
Exciting Upcoming Projects:
There are a lot of exciting things coming up for me.  I’m currently working on the Roxy Chicken Jam, which is a snowboarding event and concert in Mammoth, CA.  Everyone should check it out and come snowboarding with me! (Visit: www.roxy.com/chickenjam-usa to check all the event details out) I’m also working on our global swimwear photoshoot and our Fall/Holiday photoshoots.  Never a dull moment!

Hey guys!  I was able to catch up with ROXY Grom riders, Kirby Kelly (13) and Ty Walker (12), at the ROXY Chicken Jam to find out what it’s like to compete at such a young age.  These girls might look small but they can really rip it on the slopes- not to mention they have out-of-this-world personalities too!  They’re girls you just want to be around!  Check ‘em out:

How’s it being here at the RCJ?
KK: It’s really fun –it’s my first year here, just excited to be here
TW: I’m stoked to be here- it’s awesome

How’s it feel to be so young and compete with girls a lot older than you?
KK: It’s pretty cool, I know I’m going to catch up to them soon

Are there any older girls that you look up to, or who inspires you?
KK: Torah Bright, she’s so cool and so good at snowboarding

Do you have any advice for younger girls that want to be more involved in snowboarding or ride professional?
KK: Don’t be embarrassed to be out there with all the guys, because that’s how I was.  Just go for it!
TW: Practice as much as your can because once you’re done with the bruises from your first few days it’s really really fun to get out there

How would you describe your style or what’s your favorite trick?
KK: My favorite trick is back 5 in pipe, I just like stomping it and right away it feels so good.
TW: My style is more laid back

How’s it feel to be a grom on the ROXY Team?
KK: It’s so cool- being here and meeting everyone else who rides for ROXY.  I don’t see them all very much because I’m all the way in Illinois
TW: I don’t even know my favorite part.  It’s so cool and so nice- we all just like to get out there and ride to show off our different styles

Do you girls have a little healthy competition going on between the two of you?
KK: Yea, Ty’s super good at Slopestyle and my strength is Pipe so we definitely push each other
TW: A little bit, Kirby’s strength is more Pipe, and mine’s more Slopes- so it’s more helping each other than really a competition between the two of us
