Peetu Piiroinen Is Three Time TTR World Snowboard Champion

http://www.ttrworldtour.com - Last season, Peetu Piiroinen was the first ever snowboarder to win two TTR World Tour titles and has returned again this season to take an unprecedented third consecutive TTR title, a feat no other snowboarder has come close to touching. At the age of 23, Peetu has had an amazing run in competitive snowboarding with over 25 career podiums. Peetu started competing back in 1997 at the ripe age of 9-years old and has been steadily progressing his riding since. He made his first big break onto the scene back in 2006 when he took his first major win at the Burton European Open, where he won the slopestyle title. From there, he has expanded his skills into the halfpipe, quarterpipe and big air jumps winning competitions around the world. The key to Peetu's success on the TTR World Tour has been his ability to master all disciplines in freestyle snowboarding.This season, Peetu competed on three different continents and did not discriminate when choosing what types of events to attend. Peetu does it all and does it all well. He began this season in Asia at the 6Star Shaun White Oakley Air & Style in Beijing, China where he placed fifth in the big air competition. From Asia, he moved on to Europe where he took fourth place at the 6Star O'Neill Evolution halfpipe in Davos, Switzerland. Peetu found himself back on the podium when he took down the 6Star Burton European Open halfpipe title and placed second in slopestyle. And, at the 6Star Billabong Air & Style in Innsbruck, Austria, Peetu took another second place. Just one week later, he won the Nike 6.0 Air & Style in Munich, which was the result that ended up clinching his TTR World Tour title for the 2010/11 season.1st - Nike 6.0 Air & Style Munich Germany, Big Air 1st - Burton European Open, Halfpipe2nd - Billabong Air & Style Austria, Big Air 2nd - Burton European Open, Slopestyle4th - O'Neill Evolution, Halfpipe5th - Shaun White Air & Style Beijing, Big Air11th - Burton US Open, Slopestyle21st - O'Neill Evolution, Slopestyle

TTR Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck 2011 - Trailer

The Bergisel stadium in Innsbruck, Austria will, once again, host a festive gathering of snowboarders for the legendary 6Star Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck.  The event will feature a massive straight jump for the 16 invited riders from around the world who will be competing for a share of the rich 75.000€ prize purse, the coveted "Air & Style Ring of Glory" and a maximum of 1000 TTR ranking points.  The battle for the TTR Tour Champion title is really heating up and the Air & Style Innsbruck event could be a crucial result in the race to the final event, the Burton US Open, in March.  Riders will also get another shot at a 6Star title one week after the Innsbruck event at the Nike 6.0 Air & Style Munich taking place on February 12th, 2011. An all-star crew of riders will be dropping in on the impressive ramp constructed out of 280-tons of steel and wood on Saturday's finals in the Air & Style's signature "head-to-head" format. This is an exciting and unpredictable format where one rider is knocked out of contention in each round until there is one victorious rider at the end of the night.  The riders will have 3 runs in each round. Last year's winner, Slovenian Marco Grilc, will be ready to reclaim his title and to boost his TTR ranking from his current World No. 26 position. Battling for the top spot in the TTR rankings is Swiss wildchild, Iouri Podladtchikov, and the two-time Swatch TTR Tour Champion Peetu Piiroinen. With a good result here, Piiroinen could move from his current World No. 3 position to take over Iouri's tour lead. Both riders have their eyes set on the title, as does the slopestyle prodigy, Sebastien Toutent (CAN), who already took the 6Star Oakley Shaun White Air & Style Beijing by storm back in December with a Cab 1260 Double Cork.Anticipation for the main event will begin on Friday, February 4th when riders will gather in downtown Innsbruck for the "riders draw" which will determine the starting order for the first round of competition.  Action on the jump will kick off on ...
