Do any of you guys follow this?
I've been enjoying following it this year. There's lots of young gun riders coming through, stepping up and winning big events. Arthur Longo is only 20 and he just won the Arctic challenge, narrowly pipping Matt Ladley (who is only 17 holy crap) at the post. There's also a young guy from france, Seb toutant who competed in the x-trail in Japan who is only 16.
I think Torstein Horgmo has been my favourite rider this year though. Unbelieveable board control.
Blows my mind that 16yr olds are nailing 1080s and that 1260s are becoming more common...Not that I subscribe to the spin to win thing at all, I'd prefer a huge floating Nico Muller method any day.

anyway, if you're interested, have a look at www.ttrworldtour.com

Margie :-)

Yeah there Burton 2 and 3 star events coming to Oz this year... there is a 5 star event in NZ as well. If can land a few more tricks I'd take a stab at it.

Does anyone know of any snowbaord comps that may be held @ Mt Hotham this year and if so, is there any dates, websites or links to calenders with this info?
Cheers

There should be a calender of Events on the Hotham site, no?
