15 JULY// MT HUTT // METHVAN // NEW ZEALAND
The WIDELOAD Half Pipe at Mt Hutt:
The 5th annual Wide Load Pipe Jam held at Mt Hutt, Canterbury on Saturday saw the best level of riding yet.
The Mt Hutt crew cut a great pipe considering the amount of snow on offer and the ISF sanctioned event attracted a high standard of riders.
A who's who of N.Z snowboarding turned up for this first event of the Southern Hemisphere season where valuable ISF (International Snowboard Federation) points can be gained for international rankings.
Along with the top Kiwis many international riders are beginning to arrive on the scene down under after a long Northern Hemisphere season competing.
