Wrapping Up NZ Burton Open 2011
The New Zealand Burton Open 2011 rapped up last night with a kicking party down at the Queenstown Event center. With Kora, Sunshine Sound System, Shihad, Tiki and New Zealand’s own Dubstep Kings Optimus Grime there was a flavor for all and the artists appeared to be loving the vibe and the crowd.
Moving back to the snowboarding,,,,, the weather was on and conditions were perfect for Slope and Pipe at Cardrona Alpine Resort which made for exciting riding to say the least, as this made for the riders to push their personal limits.
The two stand outs to me were: Firstly New Zealand’s Shelly Gotlieb attempted the first women’s double in competition and secondly a young pipe rider going by the name Ayumu Hirano. This dude is 12 years old and stands less than 5 feet tall! Below is a clip of his styles at the Us Open five months ago as our footage is still in editing stage. Question is...whats he going to up to in three years, scarey!
Below is a summary of the Slope & Pipe final placings.
Mark McMorris (CAN) put it all together in his second run with Fullcab Stall, Cab 270 Frontboard to fakie, Halfcab 50-50 to Backside 360, Backside 1080 Double Cork Mute, Frontside 900 Melon to a Cab 1260 Nosegrab. Close on Mark’s heels was fellow Canadian Sebastien Toutant with his Cab 540 Tailtap, Front Blunt 270 out, Tailslide 270 out, Backside 1080 Double Cork Mute, Frontside 1080 Double Cork Melon, to a Double Backside Rodeo 1080 Truckdriver. Coming in third Stale Sandbech (NOR) who’s run started with a Backside 540 Tailtap, Hardway Cab 270 to Frontboard, Frontboard 450 out, Cab 900 Stalefish, Frontside 1080 Indy to a Backside 1260 Mute.
In the women’s competition, Jamie Anderson (USA) took her fourth straight New Zealand Open slopestyle title with a Switch Backside 180 Tailtap; Front Blunt to fakie; Halfcab 5-0 to Backside 180; Switch Backside 540 Indy; Frontside 360 Lein; to a Backside 540 Mute.
Coming in second place behind Jamie was Nowray’s Kjersti Ostgaard Buaas who held it down with a Frontside 360 Nosetap, 50-50 on the double kink, 50-50 to Backside 180, Cab 540, Frontside 720 to a Frontside 360 Stalefish.
The first halfpipe competition of the season set a new standard of riding for the women as three of the most progressive female riders in the world took the top three spots on the podium. Coming in first was Kelly Clark (USA) with a Frontside 720, Cab 720, Backside 540 and Frontside Cork 900. Finishing close behind was Hannah Teter (USA) in second place, getting impressive height with a Method Air, Frontside 900 Lien, Backside 540, Frontside 540 and Cab 360. Rounding out the top three was Castellet Queralt (ESP) with a Backside 900, Frontside 540, Backside 540 and Frontside 900.
Ryo Aono’s first place run proved that practice does make perfect, “I have competed three or four times before with not the best results and am very happy to be on the podium this time around,” said Ryo. “During practice, I worked on a special run that I ended up hitting perfectly in competition. I am very happy!”
Ryo Aono’s championship run started strong with a Frontside 1080 which lead into a Cab 1080, Frontside 900, Backside 900 and Frontside 1080 Double Cork. In second was Louie Vito (USA) with a Crippler, Backside 540 Mute, Frontside 1080 Double Cork, Cab 1080 Double Cork Truckdriver and Frontside 1080. Coming in third was Iouri Podladtchikov with a run that included a Cab 1080, Crippler, Backside 1260 Double McTwist and Frontside 1080.
A big shout out to the NZ Burton Crew for putting on a wicked event, day and night. A special Cher to Guy an Rira… Guy for hooking me up with the mean spot to shoot from, and Rira for her hospitality. Thanks again from the Pi team!!
Below is a shot from Saturday night of our old mates Shihad, who did what they do best!
