Last weekend many pilgrims of the snowboard industry flocked to Livigno/ Italy to see the messiah for his short come back to the scene. At the Source Industry Forum, Drew Stevenson - the godfather of Onboard, Method, TTR and all the party heads out there - received the Life Time Achievement Award for all he did for the sport that we all love so much.

Swiss rider Colin Frei has had an amazing season of shredding and has certainly established himself as one of the best Quarterpipe riders in the business. He ended his 07/08 TTR season in 50th by competing in only 5 and 6 star events and earned a reputation to go big. Really big. We’re talking over 8 m.

With the Slopestyle portion of the Snickers Classic finished on Saturday, it was time for riders to take on the big, red, gargantuan, beast of a wallride conveniently constructed in front of the Popcorn bar at the top of Saas-Fee.

After winning the slopestyle today at the Chicken Jam, Jamie claimed enough points to win the 07/08 TTR Championship. Rockstar is not only officially sponsoring the event, but is so stoked about her result, that the guys decided to sponsor Jamie’s unofficial TTR afterparty. I have the slight feeling it would have taken place anyways to wrap up a long season and fun event, but with that much to celebrate you better get your fake IDs out, your partypants on and swing your ass down to the Whiskey Creek in the center of Mammoth (if you bring your credentials you might even enjoy a couple of free drinks - don’t ask for Vodka Red Bull though…)

And by the way - if you happen to have unpurposely taken the 5th place TTR check, that does not only mean bad karma…Cheryl Maas will come to haunt you for those $9.000 Terje dollars.

Be there or be square…
