    The Merrill Mini Pipe Invitational

    By Liam Gallagher

    Published Wednesday August 1, 2012


    Bode Merrill's a big dude, but it's in the 11-foot High Cascade mini pipe where he feels most at home. So he decided to throw a back-to-the-roots event in it: The inaugural Merrill Mini Pipe Invitational, which went down on Monday. The "contest" drew some of snowboarding's most unlikely pipe jocks, including the likes of Chris Grenier, Gigi Rüf and Scotty Stevens. And while these might not be the dudes you see shredding Superpipes at the X Games or U.S. Open, they are still pretty fun to watch. See for yourself in this highlight video. Full results are after the jump.

    Best handplant: Scott Stevens
    Best flip: Chris Grenier
    Best Grab: Johhny Brady - Method
    Best eater of s---: Bode Merrill

    5th: Dustin Craven
    4th: Scotty Arnold
    3rd: Jesse Burtner
    2nd: Tim Eddy
