Yesterday was the third year of the "Dirksen Derby", and it went well. Hosted by Josh Dirksen this event was started to raise money and awareness for Tyler Eklund.
Tyler suffered a serious snowboard injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. For more info on Tyler's story you can check out this Facebook page.
Not only a fun snowboard event but some good turns as well. Here are a few photos from the day. This event keeps growing every year, you should come check it out next season.
Plenty of snow on the way, so check out Mt. Bachelor for some quality Christmas cheer!
