With a huge crowd of folks and the beer flowing at The Mont Bleu Hotel Casino, the Heavenly Lake Tahoe Jackpot Final and the first Soldiers Rail Assault was jam packed with banger tricks and some heavy slams. The setup built by Rob Guistina was super fun as the kids who qualified for the Jackpot final throughout the year threw down hard for big cash money, and afterwards Southshore Soldier Jimmy Halopoff gave a bunch of cash away to local pros during the Soldiers Rail Assault. With tons of free giveaways and a raffle with over two grand in gear, the crowd at the Mont Bleu was stoked to be there and see some sick shredding.
