Burton European Open, 9-16 Ianuarie in Elvetia

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.

Expeditiile Terra Magazin ? Australia 2009

 

_mg_0049_resizeDaca tineti minte interviul care l-am postat acum cateva zile pe blog (Australia la pas cu Alin Totorean) … iacata si articolul oficial in care e anuntata expeditia.

Alin Totorean ia startul in prima explorare solitara romaneasca a Australiei

In ultima zi din acest an, pe 31 decembrie, asa cum ne-a obisnuit, exploratorul-fotograf Alin Totorean  se va afla in avion spre noua destinatie aleasa pentru continuarea proiectului “Expeditiile Terra Magazin ? Australia 2009”.  

Australia este cea care ii va sta la picioare. Traseul nu va fi unul la indemana oricui mai ales ca si de aceasta data Alin va calatori singur.

Pandit de serpi la fiecare pas, ajungand in locuri care presupun conditii extreme, la limita supravietuirii, ne va aduce informatii inedite despre acele zone nestrabatute inca.

 ?In aceasta noua expeditie voi observa geomorfologia zonei desertice din centrul Australiei, modul de adaptare a florei si faunei la temperaturi extreme si lipsa precipitatiilor, precum si modul de viata din micile comunitati de aborigeni si influenta globalizarii asupra acestora. Voi aduce aceste informatii noi atat printr-un jurnal de calatorie cat si prin fotografii si imagini pe care le veti putea gasi in paginile revistei Terra Magazin, precum si pe site-ul acesteia, www.terramagazin.ro. Printr-un sistem de conectare la satelit voi trimite noutati din fiecare punct al acestui traseu.”

In aceasta noua expeditie Terra Magazin, Alin va parcurge, pe jos, 1500 km prin pustiurile australiene.

Traseul expeditiei ?Terra Magazin ? Australia 2009″ va cuprinde:

Locul de start: Uluru ? stanca sacra a aborigenilor, vor urma: Mount Olga ? un grup de stanci din mijlocul desertului, Salt Lake Amadeus ? un imens pustiu de sare (180 km lungime si 10 km latime), Kings Canyon ? platoul arid strabatut de canioane adanci, Gosses Bluff ? crater de meteorit (5 km diametru) format acum 142 mil. de ani, sudul desertului Tanami ? unul dintre cele mai izolate si aride locuri din lume, si traversarea platoului Arnhem, intre Cheile Katherine si tarmul Marii Arafura. Ultima portiune a traseului este extrem de dificila din cauza canioanelor si vailor adanci ce brazdeaza platoul, obstacole ce vor fi traversate prin tehnici de alpinism sau vor impune largi ocoluri.

Dupa doua luni si jumatate de parcurs neintrerupt, traseul expeditiei se va incheia printre crocodilii de apa sarata din zona mlastinoasa a tarmului Marii Arafura.

Proiectul ?Expeditiile Terra Magazin – Australia 2009″ este sustinut de revista Terra Magazin ? cea mai citita revista lunara de popularizare a stiintelor -, Gano Excel, Ciel Voyages, One Fitness, ziarulstiintelor.eu, Euroconsult, Maramont, Pizza 5 Colturi, Kayland si Amazingrace.ro

Expeditia se desfasoara sub auspiciile Societatii de geografie din Romania si ale Muzeului National de Istorie Naturala ?Grigore Antipa”.

Terra Magazin este o publicatie de popularizare a stiintelor, adresata publicului scolar de gimnaziu si liceu, studentilor, profesorilor si cadrelor didactice universitare, cercetatorilor din domeniul stiintelor naturii si, in general, tuturor celor pasionati de stiinta, tehnologie, biodiversitate sau educatie.
