All riders will ONLY be invited/notified by email so make sure you login to MemberPro and confirm your email address is correct.
Also check the USASA website frequently and to watch the invitations list online as well.
Do NOT rely on getting an email invite, MANY people have bad email address in our system (or NO email address in our system) and many more have bad email providers that will SPAM filter their invitations. If you email us after you are auto declined complaining that you didn't get the invite
email there is NOTHING we can do, it is your responsibility to watch the invite list to see if you are invited. If you see yourself on
the list but don't get an email you can still login and register.

PacSun USASA Team at the Red Bull Snow Scrapers in NYC! The scene in NYC was blowing up and the athletes were pumped. The crowd was amped to have snowboarders hanging out, and the party was in full effect. Rock stars would have been jealous by the attention our riders were getting. The PacSun Team (Tyler Anderson, Brett Esser, Trevor Jacob and Derek Johnson) was mobbed 5 deep during the autograph session. CLICK HERE to read the whole story on the USASA main page. |
