Except skiing

Snowboarders could try some gear from DC or ROXY.

Some girls had tried OX and had a lot of fun! :) |
Since friday we were sleeping in the Base Camp. Saturday
morning we woke up soon so we could help to built up a tent for sound system
and also OX. The entire forenoon was riders able to train and got to use to the
park.
Around the lunch time there were 29 riders ready to
comepete. I was the only girl. Filip Taraba as one of the judges explained: ´´During
qualification you have 2 runs, the better counts. 8 skiers and 8 snowboarders
will ride the finals, where you will have 4 runs, the best 2 counts.´´
The contest had started.

The park consisted of 3 kickers (the first one cca12m,
second one cca 13m or 19m gap) and 3 obstacles (street rail, step-up tube,
double-kink box). Unfortunatelly, as we were standing on the top, we couldn’t
see the second jumps and jib platform, so I don’t know much about tricks of
others. I was jumping straight airs, 180, 360 with mute grab, and on all
obstacles 27out. It was a lot of fun. Park and kickers was really, really
awesome to jump and atmosphere was cool, everybody enjoyed the riding.
The contest finished before 4pm. The results of skiers:

We went to eat and chill little bit before afterparty, which
took place in Base Camp. I guess everybody enjoyed it a lot. I went sleep
earlier because Saturday was again good day for riding J.
