The 10th annual Burton European Open (BEO) is gearing up to be one of the season?s most exciting snowboard events as many of the world?s best riders get ready to compete in LAAX, Switzerland from Jan. 9-16, 2009. The third Burton Global Open Series event of this season and a 6Star Swatch TTR event, the BEO offers a prize purse of $125,000 and two new Volvo XC 60s for the male and female overall winners.
All invited riders are confirmed, and all open spots have been filled. Around 300 riders from 24 different countries ? from amateurs to rookies to pros ? registered online for a spot in the halfpipe and slopestyle disciplines. Riders from Europe, US, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and even Israel are expected to join this year?s anniversary event.
All riders who make it through the qualification rounds will have the chance to battle with the world?s top riders, among them last year?s Swatch TTR World Champion 07/08 and defending BEO Halfpipe Champion Kevin Pearce from the US. Olympic gold medalist Shaun White, who just won the Nissan X-Trail Jam in Tokyo last weekend, is defending his BEO 08 Slopestyle title and will be going after the BEO Halfpipe crown this year. Last year?s BGOS Champion Peetu Piiroinen will be one of the hottest candidates for a podium spot in both Halfpipe and Slopestyle, especially after his second place finish in the Big Air competition at last weekend?s Nissan X-Trail Jam. Shaun, Kevin and Peetu will be joined by an armada of former BEO winners including Keir Dillon/USA, Nicolas Müller/SUI, David Benedek/GER, Heikki Sorsa/FIN, Mikkel Bang/NOR and Andy Finch/USA.
For the ladies, two-time BEO winner and Olympic gold medalist Kelly Clark/USA will try to earn her third BEO victory. Kelly has gotten off to a strong start this season with a third place finish at the New Zealand Open halfpipe event and a first place title at the season?s first Grand Prix at Copper Mountain last weekend. Also confirmed is reigning Swatch TTR World Champion 07/08 Jamie Anderson, who is currently in first place for the 2009 BGOS $100,000 title after three first place finishes at the New Zealand and Australia Opens in August.
If you can?t make it to Switzerland, watch the BEO semi-finals and finals live on Go211.com, where webcasts and highlights of the competitions will also be available for on-demand viewing once the event is over.

Este vorba de un site in care puteti afla o gramada de informatii referitoare la: statiuni, cum puteti ajunge acolo, stiri, articole, starea partiilor sau ce evenimente importante urmeaza in lumea snowboardului.
O prezentare interesanta facuta de cei de la Nike in care gasiti echipament de calitate foarte buna (asa zic ei cel putin) pentru mai toate situatiile 
Stiu ca filmulete puteti gasi si singuri pe youtube sau primiti pe mail de la prieteni. Filmele cu sport extrem devin “comune”. Eu sincer am ramas mut cand am vazut unul din ele asa ca nu m-am putut abtine si l-am postat aici. Enjoy!
Designed de snowboarderi, pentru snowboarderi … bag de seama ca pentru sezonul uscat in care nu toti isi permit sa zboare pe te miri unde ca sa se dea pe zapada. Ne garanteaza ca vom avea aceeasi senzatie … nici o diferenta fata de cum ne dam cu placa pe zapada.
Cred ca diferenta majora e inregistrata in momentul in care cazi …

Este vorba de un proiect al unor snowboarderi/skiori care vor sa prezinte sportul practicat ca pe o perspectiva culturala. Suna cam flufy dar rezultatul ii fain. Sub link aveti descrierea originala a proiectului
“WHAT IS THE LEVITATION PROJECT?
a lifestyle?a movement
We are a group of some of the ski and snowboard industries? newest and oldest talents combining forces to represent skiing and snowboarding from a unique cultural perspective that can only be acquired from experience, love, and dedication.
The talents found within the Levitation Project include cinematographers, to photographers, graphic designers, artists, web designers, and athletes all working together under one roof towards a common goal. Together we use our abilities to re-enact a story about the commitment it takes to be successful in the action sports industry. For us this is no hobby, it?s a way of life.
We combine industries together that for years have been ultimately divided and separate from each other?skiing , snowboarding and skating”
