Rhythm Skate and Snowboard Shop offers a unique, relaxing atmosphere with trendy clothing and accessories, as well as the latest skateboard and snowboard gear. And of course, a fancy antique chair inviting anyone for comfort. The store was founded in 2001, which is owned by three very nice guys; Todd Brookhouse, Joe Schwenk, and Adam Yeoman are the three wonderful people who run the skate shop.
These guys get involved with the community by sponsoring events and hosting events. Jibba Jabba Rail Jam and Snocomp are two events Rhythm hosts annually during the snow season. Ocha Potter Park (OPP) Rail Jam is an event Rhythm sponsored. This past '09 season they built and donated brand new rails to the Keweenaw Mountain Lodge to start OPP.
Jibba Jabba is jam format contest that is held in the street next to the skate shop. Friday the street is blocked off to public vehicles to be filled with snow and for the rails to be set. Saturday is the actual event where registration starts at 10:00am. The event is made up of three snowboarding divisions, a skier division, and a best trick award. Sunday open riding invites anyone for the cost of $5. Helmets are required during this event. The overall turnout of the rail jam is fun and amazing. Especially with Todd being the spokesperson of the event and Lady Gaga music blasting our ears away. Jibba Jabba Rail Jam is typically held during the month of January.
Snocomp is a slopestyle competition held at the local ski hill, Mont Ripley. The event has snowboarding and skier divisions to compete on large jumps and a variety of rails. Typically Snocomp is held during the month of March.
Todd, Joe, and Adam offer a lot to the community by being involved for you. So, what are you waiting for?! Walk your behind on down to support your local skateshop, Rhythm.
