Burton Snowboards today announced that they are canceling the 2010 Asian Open Snowboarding Championships due to scheduling conflicts. After careful consideration, all parties agreed that the timing of the event would not be conducive to the athletes' already busy schedules, especially in an Olympic year.
"Our first goal with any Global Open Series event is to provide riders with the best scenario possible," said Burton Events Director Liam Griffin. "We had already made the decision to push the event into the first week in March instead of the normal dates the last week of February. This allowed a bit of time in the schedule after the Olympics, but made things pretty tight with the US Open. After talking to riders, we decided it was better to just take a year off with the Asian event, rather than risk burning people out after such a hectic early season."

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...
