I got shOt este un eveniment cu si despre sporturile de iarna. Un concurs foto/video la care oricine e binevenit. Fie ca iubesti schiurile, placa, banana, banner-ul, capacul de wc, coaja de brad, sacu’ cu fan, nailonul sau lopata, esti binevenit sa le arati si altora ce poti sa faci cu ele!
Detalii despre regulament si alte cele gasiti pe igotshOt. Mai jos am citat din “organizatori”
“I got shOt! reprezinta un eveniment, realizat pentru prima oara in 2005 din dorinta de a promova si sustine o PASIUNE. Este vorba mai exact de cativa membri ai comunitatii amatorilor sporturilor de iarna care au vrut ca, cel putin o data pe an, sa ne strangem si sa ne aducem aminte cat de tare a fost sezonul trecut ?calare? pe schiuri, pe placa sau orice alt echipament cu care te poti da la vale.
Astfel s-a nascut ideea unui concurs foto / video care, pe de-o parte, sa ne motiveze sa evoluam de la an la an si, pe de alta parte, sa promoveze senzatia excelenta pe care o ai cand mergi cu prietenii la o tura pe munte.”
After a terrific comeback in 2008 and an excellent continuation of the Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck-Tirol beginning of 2009 the spectacle happens again already at the end of this year in the Bergisel Stadium.
On the 05.12.09 the 16 best snowboarders of the world fight at the Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck-Tirol 09/II ? a six star event of the Swatch TTR World Tour ? for the Ring of Glory. In the last two years the rider were confronted with a monstrous quarter pipe. Now in the third new edition they have to handle a Big Air Straight Jump over an enormous kicker.
So the Air & Style returns to its roots. This discipline was the traditional one in the Bergisel Stadium in the 90s and also in 2009 it will cause quite a commotion. All fans can look forward for exciting tricks high in the air set in front of a breathtaking backdrop.
Indiferent de nationalitate, iubitorii sporturilor de iarna datoreaza multa recunostinta Mamei-Natura pentru inspiratia de a crea Alpii.
Chiar daca statiunile montane de pe alte continente nu sunt cu nimic mai prejos decat cele europene, Alpii reprezinta locul in care schiul s-a nascut si s-a perfectionat pana aproape de ceea ce am putea numi o noua arta.
Prin urmare, de ce nu ne-am deplasa catre oricare dintre statiunile alpine pentru a plati un tribut personal muntelui?

Iarna asta extremeaddict te invata sa faci snowboarding direct prin internet.
Practic vom preda saptamanal, de mai multe ori pe saptamana, cate o lectie de snowboarding, oricum ideea e ca in fiecare weekend veti avea ceva nou de invatat despre acest sport.
Vom incepe cudescrierea echipamentului,alegerea board-ului, legaturilor, boots-ilor si protectiilor, montarea si reglarea legaturilor pe placa, sfaturi utile, la ce trebuie sa fii atent pe partie, ingrijirea echipamentului, primii pasi pe snowboard, cum se fac curbele, cum se fac sariturile, trecem apoi la trick-uri pe snowboard care te pot ajuta sa cresti mai departe in snowboarding.
Practic te luam de la nivelul de incepator, la modul ca nu te-ai dat niciodata si te ducem la un nivel de la care poti sa avansezi singur, sa te dai fara probleme pe orice partie si orice tip de zapada. Lectiile vor fi predate in tipul saptamanii iar in weekend puteti sa exersati.
Am ales weekend-urile deoarece noi suntem din Bucuresti si doar in weekend-uri putem merge la partie (cu mici exceptii), cred ca e valabil si pentru persoanele din alte orase unde partiile nu sunt peste strada, in spatele blocului sau in curtea casei. Restul care aveti acces la partie toata saptamana sunteti fericiti.
Pentru a primi articolele si pe e-mail inscrieti-va la newsletter pe site-ul extremeaddict.ro. Daca aveti intrebari, si cu siguranta aveti, nu ezitati sa le postati pe blog, vom incerca sa raspundem la toate.

The time has come to crown the men?s Swatch TTR Tour Champion at the prestigious 6Star Burton US Open. After a highly charged season, Shaun White (USA) and Peetu Piiroinen (FIN) have emerged as the two Title contenders, but only one can walk away victorious. Saturday?s Halfpipe finals, which offer up the first of two batches of 1000 Swatch TTR points, will set the stage for the ultimate Slopestyle showdown. On Sunday, March 22nd, 2009, ten months of competition, dedication and hard work will culminate when a victor is crowned and the Tour defining contest decides the TTR Top 5.
Riders will descend upon freestyle snowboarding?s holy ground where they will chase Halfpipe and Slopestyle glory in search of the final 2000 crucial ranking points. Now in its 27th year, the Burton US Open will give riders a chance to etch their name into Swatch TTR history and earn part of the $200,000 USD prize money.
Piiroinen has been defending the World No.1 position since the 6Star Billabong Air & Style in Austria and Shaun White will need to perform strongly in both formats in order to knock him off and claim his second Swatch TTR Title. Both riders have what it takes in Halfpipe and Slopestyle contests, ensuring this year?s finale is too close to call.
The leading TTR ranked riders are fighting to secure a position in the coveted Swatch TTR Top 5, which brings with it huge cash prizes and invites to major events next season. World No.2, Chas Guldemond (USA) has had a dream-like tour and will be fighting to defend his position at the US Open. He is going into the race with confidence from his first Halfpipe win at the recent 5Star Asian Open. Last year?s Tour Champion, Vermont native, Kevin Pearce (USA), comes into the contest with the hometown advantage and has the ability to improve on his World No.4 ranking, espacially after winning one of the most prestigious 6Star Halfpipe contests of the season, the 6Star BurtonEuropean Open. Further down the ranks in World No.8, sits Kevin?s Friend, Mason Aguirre (USA), who recently has been charging up the ranking. The American contingent will be locked in a battle for the TTR Top 5 with World No.3 Risto Mattila (FIN) and World No.6 Antti Autti(FIN). Both these riders have won competitions with their technical smooth style and are hungry for a Finnish finish on the podium.
The women?s race is also hurtling toward a climatic end. The significant amounts of rankings points available at the Burton US Open mean the gaps between contenders will close further. It is the rider?s last chance to move up the ranks before the Women?s Tour Champion is crowned at 6Star Roxy Chicken Jam US. Current World No.1, Jamie Anderson(USA) has a good leeway and remains in her spot on the rankings; however, after the US Open it will be possible for a number of riders to take her down. World No.2, Silvia Mittermueller (GER), World No.4, Sarka Pancochova (CZE) and World No.5, Lisa Wiik (NOR) are going head to head for the World No.2 ranking in the Halfpipe ? all of them viable threats. In what is a truly international race, World No.7, SinaCandrian (SUI), World No.9, Spencer O?Brien (CAN) and World No.12, Cheryl Maas (NED) are all vying to earn points in both formats in an attempt to make a play for the Swatch TTR Tour Champion Title one week later. Kjersti Buaas (NOR), who is currently sitting in World No.15, can with four strong results also remain in the title race. America?s favourite Queen of the Halfpipe, Kelly Clark has won her last two major Halfpipe events and will be going for the hat-trick in front of the home crowd. A win here will bolster her position in the TTR Top 10 so expect to see some serious amplitude.
Log on to TTR World Tour and read the news, watch videos and get the low down before the Tour draws to a close this weekend. Live coverage begins March 20th on go211 so tune in and brace yourself for a showdown packed finale.
