Kiss, Guns 'n' Roses, Iron Maiden, air guitar sessions, partial nudity, spandex, fluro, big glasses, headbands, 20 yr old boards. Girls, guys and grommets under sunshine in slushy spring snow.

Guy and Sonny - covert team burton on 1980s "signed by Jake" sticks, Dave Suckling and Mike (fest organisers) mad old style in red and white race suit action - 91 whakapapa mountain uniform jackets and mistral 'shredder' equipment. The madness that is Olly Burke, K2 Sarah and Jana in tight disco pants, Leon's poka dot spandex, Laura the lovechild, Sam Devoll and Hanna - Aspen style, Kendals peace stockings, Ellas clingfilm, Hoogerboogers, spice girl sequens, Matt on the rocking 80's music and Luca live on the mic.

Loads of competitors and so much original gear - 1 fat event. big shouts to Helena, Kiri, Duggy and the staff on the mountain. judging based on runtimes, clothing and retro riding style, and the older the board the better.
