Top
talent, top prizes
Nicolas
Müller awed the crowd with his smooth style and tricks. After
taking first in quarterpipe and placing third in halfpipe, Nicolas
was awarded best trick in slopestyle, walking away $12,500 richer
with a Sony HDV Camcorder in hand; not too shabby for a few days
of summer snowboarding with friends up at Hood.
The
weather smoothed out just in time for the quarterpipe to commence
where ladies like Junko Asazuma and Anne-Flore Marxer were going
bigger than ever with monster backside airs and backside 3s, clearing
10-feet plus over the deck, placing them in first and second place
respectively. Putting on a show from the men’s side, Chad pulled
off a huge 22-foot McTwist while Nicolas challenged with his smooth
one-footed McTwist.
Blue
skies mixed with misty clouds and fantastic runs complete with 1080s,
Haakon flips and McTwists, enabled for Sunday’s halfpipe to
go off without a hitch. Pat Moore stole the show with a lean air
into a McTwist, frontside 7 Japan, Haakon to frontside 1080 tail
grab. Gretchen Bleiler challenged the ladies and took first and
best trick by dropping into a frontside five crippler and stomping
a frontside nine and backside five. 
Slopestyle
began with crystal clear skies and gusty winds that cleared many
riders from the course, leaving only the strongest to survive. Standouts
Andreas Wiig and Wyatt Caldwell, made it hard for judges to determine
first and second place. Andreas prevailed with his run that started
with a backside 270 out, frontside backside on the kink rail fakie
out, tail press on the c-box to his jumps of a backside 7, frontside
9 to switch backside 9 combo.
