ROXY CHICKEN JAM EUROPE: SLOPESTYLE FESTIVAL IN SAALBACH HINTERGLEMM

By: Swatch TTR World Tour

In 2010, the Roxy Chicken Jam presents itself with a new location and
an extended supporting programme. The seventh edition of the world's
biggest female snowboard competition will take place from the 08th to
the 10th of January 2010 at the Nightpark Saalbach Hinterglemm. Apart
from the snowboarders' top performances, parties and live acts like
Bunny Lake and the Wax Wreckaz will provide a great atmosphere at
Saalbach Hinterglemm!

The move of the Roxy Chicken Jam to
Saalbach Hinterglemm will bring the world's best female snowboarders
closer to their fans: the Nightpark is only 200 meters away from the
village centre. Thus, the spectacular contest will attract more
spectators than ever before. The Nightpark at Unterschwarzachlift will
be shaped according to the demands of the world's best snowboarders.
Two jib sets at the beginning and the end of the course and a triple
kicker line at the middle of the park will give the slopestyle artists
the opportunity to show their best tricks and moves on many varied
obstacles and prove their creativity and style at the fight for the
50,000 prize-purse.

The Roxy Chicken Jams in Europe in early
wintertime and at Mammoth, USA, at the end of the season both are
6-star events and the biggest and most important competitions of the
TTR Women's World Snowboard Tour - while the event at Saalbach
Hinterglemm sets the course for a successful season, the female TTR
World Tour Winner will be crowned at the Roxy Chicken Jam USA. With
1,000 points for the overall ranking respectively, the winners can
distance themselves from their competitors. At both events, the snow
park and the event format are specially tuned to the girls' demands,
and the focus will be 100% directed on them. All in all, this leads to
stronger performances, and has made these events the benchmark
measuring the progression of women snowboarding as well as being an
avenue for unknown riders to make their mark.

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
