Nike Chosen Series - 08 Austria Hochkonig

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:01:09 +0000

The shapers at the Kingspark in Hochkönig, Austria worked tirelessly to prepare the Chosen Series kicker after overnight snow threatened the 8th and penultimate stop of Nike Chosen Series. The 15m step-over style jump proved challenging to all the riders and their efforts were compounded with bad visibility from the start. A previous winner of Best Style from the German stop, Jonel Fricke, worked the mic to keep the riders and crowd stoked whilst retail partner Blue Tomato kept spirits up with warm snacks and drinks as the 24 riders braved the snow, cold and cross winds in a bid to take the MVP and a ticket to the Nike Chosen Sessions. Ultimately the weather ruled the comp and with Finals unable to take place riders were judged on their performance in the Qualis. Peter Walchhofer took Best Style following his inverted FS7 tailgrab, Most Creative went to Markus Bernhard by laying out a powder run to knuckle line, but handling the tough conditions by sticking everything with style and composure was Stephan Wimmer from Innsbruck - BS5s, 7s and 9s – who claimed MVP and booked his spot at The Nike Chosen Sessions in April.

Nike Chosen Series - 07 Spain/Andorra

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:39:16 +0000

The sun blazed all day over the classic ski resort of Vallnord, Andorra for the 7th Stop on the Nike Chosen Series. On a South facing slope the local ASP shaper crew worked tirelessly to get the kicker (15m to the sweet spot) riding well for all the competitors that turned up to show their skills, while MC Aitor Gonzalez and the park DJ Krapulia made sure it was the hottest place on the mountain that day. With all riders getting into the session Xavi Rodriguez took Most Creative with an old school Suitcase Air and a super inventive BS Rodeo 5 Nosegrab. Josep Falga stood out with an inverted front 5, an Indy 5 and FS 7 Melon and ultimately claimed Best Style. The Best Female award went to Beth Climont Gerie showing style with a BS 3 and a Tailgrab; but with consistency, style and a multitude of switch tricks it was Bernat Ripoll who bagged the coveted Most Valuable Player (MVP) with SW BS 7 Stalefish, BS 5 Indy, SW BS 7 and FS 5 and in so doing earned his place at the Nike Chosen Sessions in April. RESULTS Best Overall (MVP) - Bernat Ripoll Most Creative - Xavi Rodriguez Best Style - Josep Falga Best Female - Beth Climont Gerie

Nike Chosen Series - 05 Germany/Austria Ehrwald

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 11:31:59 +0000

An extremely cold Ehrwald, Germany played host to the 5th Stop on the Nike Chosen Series. With temperatures dropping to -20C, the free-flowing Jam format came into its element as a steady succession of riders set upon the 15m table, including Evgeniy Joon Ivanov who had made the mammoth trip from Moscow, Russia. €2500 was also on offer for riders making the 10 man finals meaning the 35 signed up riders had even more to play for. Local girl Nadine Hartinger from Munich took Best Female with her stylish nose grabs over the Nike bonk ball. Daniel Mosl, Most Creative with a huge Switch Frontside Air and Double Back Flip, leaving friend and nearby Innsbruck resident Jonel Fricke to take home Best Style with a beastly Backside 5 Chicken Salad and FS 7 melon. But Felix Georgii demonstrated an arsenal of tricks throughout the day and finals including BS5 Tailbones, Switch Backside 7s and Rodeos that couldn’t be ignored, eventually earning him the Most Valuable Player. On hand to welcome him as the next Am to join the Nike Chosen Sessions, Danny Kass, fresh from a recon trip to the Sessions Final location in Austria declared Felix the German champion and claimed that “He rode like a pro, now it’s time to ride with the pro’s”.

Nike Chosen Series - 03 Italy Kronplatz

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:53:16 +0000

With a foot of fresh snow falling over night, the expert F-Tech shaper crew pulled out the stops to make Kronplatz, Italy, proud with an immaculate kicker for the 3rd stop of the Nike Chosen Series. From the off, local brothers Daniel (Back 7 Melon to shifty) and Oliver Reichegger (Front Rodeo 5 Stiffy) took the event by the reins, laying down a huge variety of spins and double grabs which saw them sail into the finals. Joining them in the 10-man cut was Alex Reiner (Front 7 double tail) and David Mahlknecht (Front 10 Melon). With a judging format that looks for a variety or tricks and spins each way in favour of single bangers, the finals saw the biggest variation of double grabs so far on the 9-stop tour. Daniel Reichegger was consistent throughout using the kicker and the bonk feature in equal measure giving the judges a stoke with a floated miller flip, classic stylish Cab 5s, a maverick back 5 double nose grab and a backside 9 nose grab - the award for MVP (most valuable player) was never in doubt.

Nike 6.0 Stairset Battle Tour Stop Recap

Wed, 06 Apr 2011 17:55:39 +0100

Here is the wrap-up of the Nike 6.0 Stairset Battle Tour that blazed through Europe from December to February and led to a big final at Air & Style in Munich, Germany. Local crews from resorts across Europe voted on Facebook to see which resorts could score the most votes and be named as a stop on the tour. At each of the nine tour stops, the winning competitor earned a ticket to the big final event to compete against an invited field of nine of the world’s best jibbers; including Eiki Helgason (ISL), Keegan Valaika (USA), Forest Bailey (USA), Wojtek Pawlusiak (POL) and more. We hope that the Stairset Battle series has provided a glimpse of the shape of things to come in jibbing and rail jams. All Starisets remain in place as park-support for the locals at all tour stop locations. Big thanks to all the competitors and supporters of the Stairset Battle Tour! It’s been a blast! Final Results: 1. Mike Casanova (USA) 2. Jamie Nicholls (GBR) 3. Forest Bailey (USA) 4. Wojtek Pawlusiak (POL) 5. Keegan Valaika (USA) 6. Eiki Helgason (ICE) 7. Dani Rajcsanyi (GER) 8.
