Top area snowboarders did back flips over a tall ramp and 180-degree turns atop a Mercedes Benz sedan, wowing hundreds of spectators lining “Mount Hermosa,” a sloping, 60-ton snow field on upper Pier Avenue, for Saturday’s second annual Spyder Snowfest sponsored by Spyder Surf, Volcom and Electric.

Celebrity judges included two-time snowboarder of the year John Jackson and snowboarding legend Mark Frank Montoya. Ten-year-old competitive skateboarder Sebastian “Seabass” Kuhr raised $1,200 in his “Shred for the Schools” pledge event.
