MARQUETTE -- They call it the "Bro Down Sho Down."

Over 20 skiers and snowboarders were on Marquette Mountain Saturday, showing off some of their best tricks.

The competition is broken up into three different categories. Each participant is given the opportunity to show off how well they do on the jump as well as the entire course.

"I bailed on both my tricks so I don't know, but so did some other competitors. It's tough; it's a mental game," said Noah Peterson, snowboarder.

For many of the skiers and boarders, it takes a lot of hours to get the jumps just right, but for those who fell short, they were still able to get back up and ride again.
