HALFPIPE
TUE 7TH / WED 8TH / SUN 12TH AUGUSTMITCH BROWN OF NEW ZEALAND WINS THE BURTON NZ OPEN HALFPIPE!!!
WHAT A FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
The weather changed from clear through the first run to mid winter snow dumping down, no vis & wind up the pipe for the 2nd then reverting back to mixed pockets for the 3rd!!!!!
A big name line up of seasoned Pro's from a global mix jumped into final time mode!!!!!!!!!
In the mens battle Scotty Lago of Seabrook USA on flow held the comp right to the end with Mitch Brown of Mt. Maunganui NZ on Ripcurl who led the semis, in 3rd, then on the last run of the day with Mitch Brown still amped to give it 110% he dropped the hammer & bombed the pipe - everyone was yelling from the sides, trick after trick boosted, twisted, corked & nailed to the bottom!!!!!! none of us knew the outcome until we got down & YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!into No.1.
The japanese riders were super tight & going hard with big tech spins, flying high & stomping solid runs right behind, a threat every step of the way with Ryo Aono of Matuyamasi on Yonex blazing into 3rd place!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the top runs incase you want to try this at home!!!!!!!!!!!
Mitch took it all out with a Front 9 tail grab into a back 5 mute straight to a frontside corked 1080 to a haakon flip to a front 900 to a backside 900 to an Ally oop Michealchuck!!!!!!!!! imagine even thinking about that!!!!!!!!!
Scotty Lago threw in the lean air to double corked back 900 mute grab to front 7 stale fish to cab 7 mute to front 900!!!!!! Scotty also picked up best trick in the pipe for that crazy corked 9!!!!!!
Aono Matuyamasi went with a bacside air nose grab into a front 7 to a cab 7 into a front 900 to a back 900 to a front 1080 to finish - sick!!!
Here are just a few other highlights to check!
Mitches 1st run highlights consisted of massive corked 9 to backside 5 to 1080 to corked 9 to 9 again!!!!!
Louie Vito threw a late method to 1080 to 7 to 9 combo corked right out,
135 Justin Lamourex of Canada with his switch boosting methods off the first wall - into an assortment of switch spins - master switch!
150 Rikuya Narita of Japan was straight into a huge mc twist off the first to a 900 nose grab, to 720 to corked 720 combo!
Mason Aguire of USA on burton charged the massive backside air to frontside 1080 combo then with another switch 7 to 9 combo turning all heads!
The winners on the day were always going to be the riders who put it all on the line & nailed their big tricks, at this highest level of competetion one mistake can cost you likewise holding back doesn't keep you in the pack!
It's an emotional time down here for Mitch Brown of Mount Maunganui NZ & ripcurl, he's been riding most of his life now & touring internationally making snowboarding his carreer, to win the BURTON OPEN on home soil is a great achievement for him & such a stoke for the many people that have seen him progess through the years - good on you Mitch, well deserved bro!!!!!
In the GIRLS!!!!! it was Torah Bright of Australia & Roxy pulling 1st place, nudging out Kelly Clark of USA for burton who took the silver, with 3rd going to regular footer Swiss Manuela Laura Pesko on FTWO, again it was a sensational set of runs, battling through all the conditions to find the champion!!!!!
Torah hit the wall claiming gold with a clean backside 5 spin japan grabbed into a huge air to fakie tail snatch then more spins - cab 7 melon grab into front 5 indy grab then a back 3 indy to a switch backside 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also taking out best trick in the pipe!!!!!!!!
Kelly Clark rocked into downtown pipe land with a massive frontside in her own league to the same on the backside then spinning up a front 5 to a huge indy to a front 720 indy grag to a cab 3 tail grab finishing off by boning out a nose grab!!!!
Manuela Laura Pesko went straight for the backside 5 mute grab to a drifty frontside to the classic method then hitting up a frontside melon grab to a cab 3 to a frontside tail grab then right at the end all or nothing back 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both local girls charged! Juliane Bray on burton put up the consistant height and the front 5 to big tail grabbed air to fakie into cab 3 combo got the shouts form the side and Kendal Brown represented hard with back to back 5 combos and the insane bag of styled grabs you've seen!!!!!! - she's definately going places!!!!!
.........................................................................................................
Everything for guys & girls happened in one final!!!!!!!!!!!! the competetors were given a vote option of whether or not to go on with the 3rd run at one stage due to the weather & they voted go for it!!!!! the vibe up there is amazing.
No doubt about it, for pro's it's the comp to ride with your bros from around the world to start the season & tour, all the importance & prestiege without the same pressure as the rest of the tour. If the pipe is rideable then they are doing it & putting on a fantastic show for snowboarding, if the run doesn't feel good then pull back slash through & rely on your early scores.
We saw such a mix of tricks the big 1080s & spin combos of corked 7's & 9's again!!! any straight air was massive!!! Blazing runs from the girls & the guys, they deserve huge props dealing with the weather & dominating the 1/2 PIPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's an emotional time down here for Mitch Brown of Mount Maunganui NZ & ripcurl, he's been riding most of his life now & touring internationally making snowboarding his carreer, to win the BURTON OPEN on home soil is a great achievement for him & such a stoke for the many people that have seen him progess through the years - good on you Mitch, well deserved bro!!!!!
With the genes running in the family; roxy girl Kendall Brown, Mitches little sis ripped the pipe to take 7th place herself in the womens final putting them both in the company of only a few brother/brother or brother/sister combos in the world to reach those international levels consistantly!!!!!!!! Ma & Pa will be tearing the top off a few bottles of the good stuff tonight!!!!!!!!!! As will we all!!!!!!!!!!!!

I/2 PIPE MOVED TO SUNDAY
Morning everyone, we had a few drinks up here last night, all the bodies have been mopped up off the floor.....enough said......
Down here in New Zealand we are being slammed by the weather, It's coming in hard with all the treats a good storm brings & best of all heaps of snow!!!! Looking out the window right now it's snowing horizontally! it's as if we should pick the Apt. up and tip it on it's side.
The riders have a down day today! So all the local cafes will be full of Jibbers.
Up here on the mountain the crew are out there taking care of business in the snow, up since 6am with Comp. setup procedures etc,
The Snowpark's styling apartments & woolshed bar & restaurant are starting to hum into gear, and as people emerge the big snowboarder breakfast cook-ups & coffees are coming on.
Miles has just cranked the music right up - to be honest my head feels like it's cracked in half but it sounds good & lets face it having the tunes on is always a bonus....
We'll update you with more of the goings on as they come to light down here at the NZ BURTON OPEN 07.

WOMENS QUALIFIER & END OF THE FIRST DAY
Welcome back to Snowpark NZ & the Burton NZ Open!!!!! The light cloud has peeled back to sharpen the vision back up and for most here; sitting on the chair lift looking out over the surrounding peaks lit up by the sun rays; life seems pretty fine!!!
Up at the womens PIPE Qualifier things were in full swing!!! 40 girls from 10 countries dropping in with tunes streaming out of the speakers lining the pipe.
I arrived just in time to meet Miles & Woody clicking away & stoked with the standard, and also see New Zealand's own Kendall Brown drop into the pipe and blaze a super clean run full of spins & grabs stoking out local onlookers. As standouts, the Japanese girls were on form boosting the amplitude & one uping each other run by run.
A few notes to drink your coffee to go like this;
121 Helen Nadig of Chur! Switzerland riding for Rome & vans threw the big f/s to backside then into a 540 & leaned nose grab combo,
122 Aoki Miho of Higashikurume-shi Japan on Moss whipped the height up going from a backside air into a clean 720 to a cab 360, then spinning 540 into a set of big straight airs finishing with the ol skool floating method - great run!
124 Rei Yoshizawa of Japan on misson 6 put in smooth frontside 540 definately worth spreading the ink for,
125 Komiichi Kimura of Sapporo Japan on Burton answered straight back pulling out the lofty frontside to backside double grab combo,
214 Queralt Castellet from Sabadell in Spain pulled the cleanest held 540 way out of the pipe of the girls comp so far followed up by a lean air & a text book method,
141 Kyla Sobieralski of Bassalt USA representing the Radio Board Shop smashed out some big frontside mutes,
163 Rika Hatta a Tokyo girl & on the Burton team streamed together a boosting f/s nose grab to backside air into back to back 540s,
126 Tech combo goes to Maki Mitsui of Machida-shi Japan on Yonex as she started with the f/s into backside then 720 tweaked to 540 to 540 then coninuing with techy spins all the way to the end - the mc's loved it!
The noise however went to 127 Miyahara Akari another Sapporo girl from Japan who sliced into her run like an axe through lettuce with a huge frontside into backside method then back to back 540s then another frontside variation into a backside tail grab followed by a 720 then a cab 360 to finish!
these are just some of the girls highlight moves and combos for the many hoping to qualify for a place! plenty more make it tough for the judges to cut the field down to the select few who will move on to Saturdays final rounds with the big names already pre qualified.
As with the mens the next few rounds promise to be spectacular, we've seen some big stuff today!!!!!!! and the competetors are pumped with the first day a big success, tonight in Wanaka the Gravis sessions are on where the partying will be mad till the small hours..............
right it's time to end the day in proper kiwi style and crack a beer, see you tomorrow!

Mens PIPE Qualifiers
Its easy to see the level stepping up as the comp. develops, after throwing down some lunch i jumped back on the lift to head up & catch a few highlights of the next stage, the qualifiers for men, 25 riders that will be sliced down to 10.
A light haze of cloud in the sky lowered the light slightly from the beaming bluebird of this morning & by the end of the second round was an extra factor for riders to deal with.
The beats rolled out & with both Neils & Jay on the mc the energy turned up another notch. One by one riders threw down hard in an attempt to make the top 10 & push through to the semis with the pre qualified.
While we wait for results to be posted here are a few of the tricks that stood out;
227 regular footer Ruben Verges of Spain fiding for Santa cruz lifted the bar with a drifting f/s crail into big long 720,
226 Spencer Shaw USA for O'neill popped the 900 to big backside air to 540 combo,
162 Matt Lindenmuth of Kutztown USA for axia boards put in the crippler to tail tweak to a mean 900 over head,
217 Drew Brighton of USA park city and Head boards with the big f/s to backside to back to back grabbed 900s,
154 Ben Stewart of Wanaka/Whangamata New Zealand on Nitro blazed his run of frontside to mc twist to f/s 900 to backside 540,
113 Eisuke Sugiura of Tokyo JPN and Burton stood tall on his first hit spinning a clean slow 900 way up there,
199 Michal Ligocki of Poland & Rossi boards an ex olympian threw the huge backside 900 tweaked corked & grapped all the way,
175 Kazumi Fujita of JPN riding K2 was blazing in the Pre's and didn't hold back with the amplitute in the Qualifiers with a sweet backside to big front 7 combo getting the motordrives clicking,
90 Bryan Daino of USA also made it through and busted a 900 twisted way out followed by a 5 to 5 to 720 to 720 - nice!
144 Ben Kilner of Banchory Great Britten riding for Billabong threw big floaty frontside & backside airs to start then turned up the speed into the fast 720,
183 Zak Stone of Collingwood Canada on volcom and riding regular put in a massive double handed b/s tail grab on the first and with mad style rolled into a ft 720 to bk 720 to 900 to 540 to alley oop - a great bag of tricks!!!
116 Daisuke Murakami from Japan & on K2 also stepped up with constant big amplitute and a b/s double poke to front 720 to Hakkon f/s 900 in sick style to b/s 540 finishing off with a tweaked frontside and getting big props from the sideline.
104 Burton rider Chris Walker from USA looked clean with the combo - b/s method to 900 to b/s 540 to ft 540 to b/s 900 finishing off with the old stalefish.
Things are looking great out there, the practice session has been on in the slopestyle course so by turning your head slightly from the pipe between runs, it's all action just a few meters away on the big kickers, keeping the day jamming with action & intense riding.
Right now the women are kicking into gear in the pipe so time to check it out.......catch you soon

Pre Qual update from the Pipe
We've just ripped down from the side of the Pipe to give you an update & a feel for the highlight moves going down in the pre Quals, So here we go with a few notes that made the page:
147 Craig Moore of Calgary Canada riding for burton pushed huge 7s & b/s airs getting the whistles & lofty call from the sidelines, Japan has a big line-up here & 150 Rikuya Narita of Hakodate JPN riding for billabong represented with a massive mc twist to backside air to front 7 into air to fakie - big and smooth.
Kiwi rider young Ben Stewart riding for nitro threw in the sick mctwist to 5 to f/s 900 to bk 95 to ft.720 stepping up in his second run, Pocket rockets under 15yrs popped out of the shadows & among them182 Burton rider Taylor Watling (11yrs) of Erin Canada small in size was going over head tweaking as much as he could, along with 219 Harrison Grey of Newmarket Canada also on the burton hookup with the clean f/s 7s.
83 isaac Verges of Barcelona Spain riding for the Burton with a sweet high evergy style threw in the big corked spins & stayed solid in the amplitude all the way down, 113 Eisuke Sugiura of Tokyo Japan repping for burton went frontside to backside to ft. 900 to revert to540 to mc twist into air to fakie tail snatcher,
116 K2 rider Daisuke Murakami of Sapporo JPN riding regular was the super huge machine, big right to the end of the pipe and getting 3 ticks in my book, 128 Lib Tec rider Bryan Shuey of Incline Village USA threw sweet corked 900s,
Quentin Robbins the Cat riding for Volkl and another NZ pro lofted the big ol skool tweaks floating down the pipe in style & racking the bigest amplitude of the Kiwis so far. Roland Morley Brown for Ride and Takapuna New Zealand pushed his way out of the lip snatching from the trick bag as below in the Groomer below the pipe; Legendary Frank Wells (who was up till the early hours groomer sculpting), was pushing up snow for the monster 1/4 pipe that last year hit over 28ft!
As we write riders are still cranking through in the continuing pre qual event......

Super quick taster
In the pre Quals it's all go with a mountain of riders to go through, one of the many standouts so far has been BRYAN DAINO of EDWARDS USA, straight after breakfast the 17 year old Sessions rider tore straight into a huge inverted backside 900 to b/s 5 then back to back 720s to seal the deal, he'll be happy with that as were the judges

07 BURTON NEW ZEALAND OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like any excited mission, it all starts by throwing everything at a bag then trying to think of what you've forgotten. Once time runs out you have to zip it up & go no matter what......
I threw it all in the car & headed off around Queenstown to pick up Chris & Stu (the core of Boarderzone who along with myself & the rest of the crew including the miles & woody show will be bringing you as much info as fast as possible), pile their stuff on top of mine then point the truck towards the Crown range & Snowpark.
Along with over 230 competitors plus organisers, sponsors, media, crew & spectators we are on the road, decending on Snowpark NZ, a mtn dedicated to freestyle in all it's glory and based at the bottom of the world in the spectacular southern lakes area of the South Island for the 5th Annual BURTON NEW ZEALAND OPEN!,
Last year it was an incredible event so the antisipation of what we are about to see is surging through everyone.
Over the next few days we will whitness insane riding by many of the biggest names & best riders the world has to offer, we will stand open mouthed at what we see, we'll ride together, party together, & celebrate what has been thrown down & by who........
both local towns: Queenstown & Wanaka have bands rocking it up everynight for riders & supporters to fill all their needs & wants.......
yeah yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
stay tuned....even i can't wait to see what will be recorded, already Miles & Woody have photos from todays warm ups that'll put a grin on any riders face.
The Snowpark - what can you say? the drive up is a world class rally track "race to the sky" you feel like you are travelling through some kind of surreal scenery & stratosphere on the way up - raw mountainside with rockpiles towering like twisted old trees mixed with sharp flaxlike spaniards & tussocks covering the land, snowcappped mtns in every direction if you look out.
At the top : Utophia "Snowpark" - a freestyle park with X games & olympic std halfpipe, small to massive kickers everywhere, rails, boxes & a 1/4 that has graced the pages of countless international mags with the pros that have beat it in....
- to kick it off here's our experience so far, 5 people sitting around the kitchen bar in the most styling apartment on a mtn you have seen, blahing the blah, we've just finished cooking a dinner any restuarant would be proud to serve, the wine & beer is flowing & our outlook is the snowpark at night - snow guns blazing so all kickers can be groomed to perfection.
Miles is taking time exposures so maybe you'll get to see one, below us is the spa pool (one for each place), the music is flowing out & below the apartments (3 more beside us and a backpackers) is the bar and restaurant that we haven't made it to yet.
Out there in the dark lies a freestyle park any grommet or seasoned ripper would freak over & tomorrow it will turn into one big live action movie all day long.....aaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
The Judges and a bunch of others are staying at the Cardrona hotel just below the mtn and probably having another story of a good time, this is the essence of the BURTON NZ OPEN, we are at the bottom of the world down here, good times are rolling already and tomorrow competition begins....
