It was a huge day of freestyle action living up to every part of it's aim of a riding super session all on perfect snow, the cameras & film rolled as the 24ft 1/4 pipe , rails and 32ft wall ride took a hammering.

Over $10,000 in prizes and $1100 in cash was thrown out to everyone for all kinds of reasons, [no format just open jam simultaneous everything going on non-stop] from Sub20 Outerwear[sts], Snowpark, Dragon Optical, Ride, Cartel, Forum, Philips, Northwave, DaKine, Hurley, GMC, Circa, Ansell, Red, Level, Irium'The Dream', Geenyus, Play it again records, 4Square, IrIs, K2, Mitre10, Bacoda and more....

There was plenty of food, drinks and beer to keep everyone full, the music rolled with Narls running the open decks, Aj was up there and Deni also later on, the mc battling rocked with Narls, Ben James, Oz and more going hard out and carrying away plenty of prizes.

On the graffiti boards, Matt from the states, Sam Devoll and Nigel Roberts took out the prizes - the artworks will stay up at Snowpark - it was amazing to see evolve thanks to Mitre10 putting up extra spray cans.

It's hard to mention and remember everyone who ripped as everyone on the park just charged and deserves props - the riding was for personal satisfaction and once more grew with the day.

Tom Willmot and Aj boosted carrying away cash for the biggest = airs way up above the 1/4, Dylan Butt won a new Ride board for the biggest invert; took some smaller cash and let the board go up for the most ruling grommet prize [to Tom Donnelly] on the rails - onya Dyl!

The wall ride was amazing and among the tricks thrown down was the transfer along the coping with a bunch of riders getting close, in the end Jah Harris and Logan Holt pushed it for a showdown and Logan walked away stoked with a new flash Philips boom box.

The girls ripped it with Ju Brae and a Japanese backflipper standing out, the Worley girls pushed it for family battles, on the wall ride and rails Hayley Holt, Hana Sullivan, Abby, Amy and more just charged and amped each other further, as did Snowpark's Dwain on the rails with Steve Fergs, Andy Mac & Clark, Joel Westcot & Web, Tobin, Jake K, Ants Lefflar, Roland Mb, Jackways bros, Glen Legs, Mark Catsburg, Louis Prucker, Mitch B, all mentioned above, lots of locals, foreigners and so many other rippers...

It was a day for all freestylers to be part of no matter what level. Sam, Jeff, Sally, Deni and all the Snowpark crew were amazing - the Snowpark is an incredible place and people, the fact that we have such a world class facility in our backyard is outstanding.

To everyone who came - thanks for making another fantastic day riding and charging together in NZ snowboarding history, we were stoked to put it together with the Snowpark.
