Teaser overload. This one (it's called Pro Bono! in case you missed that part) changes it up and is claiming to be a documentary. Not going to lie, the teaser is looking pretty legit and they pull the "we paid for it out of our own pockets" bit so...how can you not be intrigued? Good list of underrated riders and classic song. Works for us.

Riders are all systems go for their final chance at halfpipe mastery for the season as the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix, presented by Sprint, wraps up at Killington Resort in Vermont March 14-15.

"We're excited to get back to Killington. They have a 22-foot pipe this year that is being cut by Jake Ingle, master groomer," U.S. Snowboarding Halfpipe Coach Ricky Bower said. "As we get closer to the 2010 Olympics, we will, of course, be riding a 22-foot pipe up there and it's a great opportunity to compete in a pipe that size as well as practice in it."

For the second year in a row Kelly Clark (Mt. Snow, VT) will look to snatch the Grand Prix overall title while in her home state. The 2002 Olympic gold medalist, who won the first stop of the tour at Copper Mountain, currently sits in first for the overall standings and says she would be happy to have everything fall into place in Vermont.

Right on Clark's heels in second for the overall is fellow Olympic gold medalist Hannah Teter (Belmont, VT) who was third at Copper, but won the Boreal stop of the Grand Prix.

"The women's competition is going to be very exciting," Bower said. "You have three of the top female riders in the world who are closely matched and they've all been working hard this winter and I think that's going to play a key role in the upcoming contest."

In the men's standings Steve Fisher (Breckenridge, CO) and Louie Vito (Sandy, UT) are tied for first place, but, because both are committed to competing in a World Cup in Spain the same weekend, young gun Dylan Bidez (Minturn, CO) could take the overall with a finish in the top three.

"It is important that we have the maximum number of quota spots that we can for the Olympics and Steve and Louie are going to the World Cup to ensure that we can do that," Bower said. "Steve and Louie not being there has opened the door for anyone, but Dylan and Elijah Teter (South Lake Tahoe, CA) particularly have a great shot at winning the Grand Prix overall, which is a good thing to do the year before the Olympics."

Following the halfpipe action on Saturday an afternoon concert with Reel Big Fish will entertain the crowd before the Xbox Junior Jam, which features local youth snowboarders showcasing their skills in front of a panel of judges. The top male and female will be the proud recipient of an Xbox and games.

Closing out the final Grand Prix will be the Paul Mitchell Progression Session, which takes place on Killington's Lower Skyeburst trail. Riders will use their freestyle skills to master a two rail three jump set up.
