BOSTON — The Boston debut of the Red Bull Heavy Metal snowboarding competition went off without a hitch.

“This is crazy how many people showed up,” said Benny Milam. “There is a parking lot out there full of people trying to get a view. This is maybe the most insane turnout of a street snowboarding event like ever. I think its time for round two next year.”

“That was by far the biggest snowboard crowd I’ve ever seen at any event,” Powell said. “The vibes that Boston brought were insane. I honestly don’t have words. Simply the largest most electric crowd I’ve ever experienced.”
