Thredbo terrain park guru’s Charles Beckinsale and Sam Towers just called me from the cat giving me a video from the second Thredbo rail comp. Wait, they’re having contests up at Thredbo? And this is the second?! Awesome! Ryan Tiene won this one, Tom Pelley got second (and a bunch of new tricks by the look of it!) and Andy Lloyd got third. Considering we’ve interviewed all of those dudes in the magazine already, I’d say that’s a great thing. Saph Farrell took first for the womens, Laura Williams second and Michaela Davis-Meehan third. Sam and Charles have assured me there’s more video to come next week when they rebuild the park, so show them some love here in the comments section.

- Holtron 5000 : Torah wins first World cup - first event back story here:
- Ambur : If anyone is interested, you can sign up for Signal Snowboards weekly newsletter on this link «link»
- Ed : I guess we'll see on Sunday right? Speaking of which still after a lift if anyone can help out
- Trav : but pressing a rocker into a foam pit.... that's the worst kind of cheating
- Trav : fair call
- Chris : Does that mean jumping on a regular camber board is now considered cheating because its easier than on a rocker?
- Trav : I think rocker is great for the pow and pretty good for jibbing (cheating on presses), but on the jumps rocker is whack, I found it so hard to get pop, anyone else have that problem?
- Guest_512 : Here's maybe a good one for a poll.... what influences your board purchasing decision?? There seems an overload of rocker names and cambers.... does it really matter to the average weekend shedder?... who was probably only drawn to the board by the looks.
- Trav : Hey Radman. Yeah I did check it out, was a good article. Wallace was saying flachauwinkl was rad also, austria sounds like the go. Cheers
- Chris : Boost - no good weather in the past few weeks. The snow was minimal last year and it was still rad. Randy - ssssh, the foam pit is secret, one rider only
- Randy Daytona : Boost. Snow is not needed as we will have a foam pit on the summit for BBQ goers to ride into. No Lycra = No Foampit.......I don't make the rules. If any one needs Lycra i know Jon has a wardrobe full.
- Boost : Surely this event would have been better 4+ weeks ago, there is only a scrape of snow left...
- Jon : I love snowboarding and sausages! I love a bbq on the summit of Mt buller. Makes my life complete
- Chris : ED - aint no entry fees at this time of year, one of the reasons the BBQ is awesome
- Ed : Oh yeah, I'm in Prahran, and will pay for part petrol money and entry fees of course...
- Ed : Can anyone hook me up with a lift for Sunday to the BBQ please?
- Radman : Trav - did you check out issue 3 Snowboarder Mag? Has some parks in Austria/Switz. I recommend Mayrhofen for park, powder and party, also Serfaus and Flachauwinkl, which are both a bit more local, but have nice fun parks, good freeriding and a cool scene. Austrians do snowboarding pretty well as a package.
- Rich : Check Classifieds in the forum. board, jackets, clothes
- Crackers : europe parks : Salen Sweden, hemsedal and stryn in the summer !!! in Norway. Powder : Austria and France! ...no idea about parks in the alps though.
- Guest_1431 : Thanx... was thinking more along the lines if I was to start a brand and my approach.
- Silver : 1431...Depending on what it is, Some Ski & Board companies do it well out this way, K2 for example. Then there a guys like who don't bother with the boards and just stick to ski's and vice versa. Snowboard brand outerwear gets worn by skiers out here a fair bit too. If you like it, buy it!!
- Dave : Sorry for the delay guys. Nice Try shots are coming... Give me an hour and they'll be up!
- Guest_760 : Nice Try photos??? anyone have any???
- Jon : Weather is looking good for a Sunday BBQ Chunk.
- John Cleese : Thoughts on guest_1431's grammatical skill and the possible over use of the word either??
- Guest_1431 : Thoughts on Brands that target a ski & snowboard market over just sticking to either ski or either board?
- Guest_1431 : Thoughts on Brands that target a ski & snowboard over just sticking to either ski or either board?
- Guest_2517 : nothing beats landing bolts on my freeboard straight into the foam pit after spinng less than 7.
- Trav : Thanks Jan....anywhere in particular? PS good work on videograss, it's rad
- ben : any photo's from friday coming up? i need to fill in some of my night.
- jan snarski : trav, switzerland
- capes : do you think that maybe shaun whites sponsors are the ones that are pushing him into doing these things and giving him the opportunity. They pretty much control what they want him to do and are paying him to do it, so why not if you are getting paid.
- Trav : anyone know the best place to shred in europe... park and pow?
- god : flaming lips wasnt it?
- Guest_43 : hey what was the song in seth huot's part in nice try
- James : I'm with you trav.
- Trav : Freeboarding into a foam pit is where it's at.
- Crackers : the scandis seem to love it at the momment though
Billabong have kindly given us a bit of an exclusive on this… Over the coming weeks we’re going to put out a series of clips from the Billabong team’s time in New Zealand. Read more to check it out!
