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…

It was really warm out today, highly irregular for the beginning of February in the Austrian Alps, but that didn’t stop the riders from getting in some training on the Quarterpipe the day before the Billabong Air & Style in Innsbruck.

Despite the high winds, riders were still going huge, reaching 7 and 8 m. The question is, will we see any of the riders break Terje Haakonsen’s Quarterpipe record of 9.8 m? Jack Mitrani seems to think so claiming that he’s “trying to go for that 20m mark.” Optimism is always a good thing so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Riders from all over the world flew straight into a glassed cage of emotion. The Billabong Air & Style riders were requesting guided TTR office tours, and at 3:20 pm the idea of a major office refurb was born. Drew Stevenson knew exactly what to do. He got into the Method Mag storage facility, wheeled out a portable ping pong table and pushed it for at least 2km through congested mid-day Austrian traffic. Check the video teaser below, with more to come soon :)… nothing more to be said but that it was so F@#%&ING FUNNY.
