On February 5th, 2009 head down to New York City to watch 16 of the world's best snowboarders (including Shaun White, Travis Rice and Pat Moore) compete on the banks of the East River. This will be the largest snowboarding contest held in an urban setting in North America with a $100,000 prize purse! This also includes top music acts (they have yet to announce them) and a spectator village.
Snowboard-mag.com has this to say about the set up of the contest, "For the first-time ever, Red Bull will create an amazing 90-foot state-of-the-art structure for top riders to own the iconic Manhattan skyline. The athlete’s will drop in from a nine-story building before flying off the specially constructed kicker toward an immense 80-foot long hip. The innovative hip built by world-renowned designers Frank Wells and Mike Bettera of Snow Park Technology allows riders multiple angles of trajectory— frontside or backside, landing on either the right or left side of the massive 45-degree spine."
Holy cow. This is going to be intense and awesome to be a part of. And yours truly has media passes coming her way so please believe I will post all of the pictures and awesomeness from this event! Make plans to head to the big apple, you don't want to miss this!
