Shawinigan Hosted The Second Street Edition
B-Dog Off The Leash Street Edition 2024 took place on December 28 2024 at Parc de la RiviĂšre Grand-MĂšre in Shawinigan, Quebec. The event was the second annual street edition built around Philip Casabon - B-Dog, bringing 40 selected skiers and snowboarders into a public park setting. The official Tourisme Shawinigan schedule listed practice in the morning, two snowboard jams, two ski jams, a Big Dog Final, rider voting and awards before the site closed at 17:00.
Three Hits Turned The Park Into A Street Line
The setup gave riders a short but technical street course instead of a resort-style slopestyle lane. Newschoolers described three main hits: first a choice between a fire hydrant and a flat rail, then a long flat rail, then a final zone with a down rail, picnic table box or closeout ledge drop. Speed was tight, which made line choice important. Skiers had to decide whether to connect all three zones or focus on one feature with a stronger trick. That structure fit B-Dogâs style language: low-speed control, rail creativity, body position and spot reading mattered more than amplitude.
Mat Dufresne Won The Ski Final
Ski Final â December 28 2024
Gold: Mat Dufresne (CAN)
Silver: Tom Galarneau (CAN)
Bronze: Ădouard ThĂ©riault - Edjoy (CAN)
The ski side moved from two jam rounds into an eight rider final. Newschoolers listed Mat Dufresne, Phil Langevin, Raf Diaz, Tom Galarneau, Edjoy, Olivia Asselin, Alex Bellemare and Phil Boily-Doucet among the finalists. The podium was voted by riders who did not make the final, keeping the result inside the peer group rather than with a conventional judging panel. Mat Dufresne took first after standing out across the down rail, picnic table and closeout ledge options. Tom Galarneau placed second, while Edjoy finished third after flowing through the course with one of the dayâs most distinctive approaches.
Quebec Street Skiing Had A Public Stage
The 2024 Street Edition carried more than one result line. It gathered a strong Quebec freeski scene in a public urban space, with names such as Olivia Asselin, Alex Bellemare, Vincent Gagnier, Ămile Bergeron, Tchad Lemay, Frank GP, Phil Boily-Doucet, Anthony Patry, FĂ©lix CarriĂšre and Raf Diaz connected to the event environment. That matters because Off The Leash is not trying to copy a federation contest. It gives street skiing a visible hometown stage, where spectators can understand the run-in, the feature, the risk and the landing from only a few meters away.
Where The 2024 Street Edition Fits
B-Dog Off The Leash Street Edition 2024 should be indexed as a regional street-style ski and snowboard event, not as a standard slopestyle competition. Its strongest archive facts are clear: Shawinigan, December 28 2024, Parc de la RiviĂšre Grand-MĂšre, 40 selected riders, two jam rounds, a Big Dog Final, rider voting and a verified ski podium led by Mat Dufresne. The edition confirmed that Off The Leash could grow beyond a one-year hometown experiment while keeping the compact, public, style-first character that makes the event distinct.
