Today..the first day of snowparks halfpipe… the day before practice so i guess today was practice’s practice. I was cruzing in a fully sick Subura GT-B turbo..with fat as exhaust with Chas G and just as were are leaving the outskirts of beautiful Wanaka..we see current Swatch TTR women’s world tour champion..Jamie Anderson with her thumb out. I hit the skid, slammed it in reverse and Jamie jumps in.

We pull into the carpark which reveals a virgin pipe & an almost completed, super sick looking slopestyle course. To drop just a few names I saw…Mikkel Bang, Luke Mitrani, Sani Alibabic, Chris Soerman, Marco Grilc,  Olivier Gittler, Kelly Clark, Sina from Switzerland and last years pipe champ & local fav Mitch Brown was there.. Im  sure there was more…

Check Chas get down on the mic for the first time for 08 09 season.

Stay tuned for further updates with both video, news & blogs from the Southern hemisphere with Nugg dogg reporting (almost) live from the Burton NZO 08 in Wanaka, NZ.
