Denver Big Air is almost here
Monday 24 January 2011
In just a few days, the LG Snowboard FIS World Cup will be back in full swing again. On January 26th, 2011, Denver, Colorado, will host the season’s third big air and thus the first in the US after a break of seven years (Mt. Bachelor, OR, 2004). In addition, the freestyle event, which will be held in the Civic Center Park, the cultural heart of Denver, is the first ever to take place in a North American metropolis. A 102 feet high ramp of steel has been built guaranteeing superb conditions for some sweet air time and stylish spins.
The international field features some top riders such as 2011 World Championships runner-up Zach Stone of Canada. But the young kid, who surprisingly claimed Silver at the 9th FIS Snowboard WCS in Barcelona about one week ago won’t be the only one to watch out.
In addition, Rocco van Straten (NED), fourth of the last major event as well as 2010 Big Air World Cup standings runner-up Gian-Luca Cavigelli (SUI), who placed seventh at the World’s finals, will also start. In addition, another finalist (11th) of Barcelona, Austria’s talent Clemens Schattschneider is ready for some more nice results.
Time schedule Denver, big air:
Wednesday, Jan, 26th, 2011:
Qualifiers 4 PM local time
Finals 8:40 PM local time
