The riders list also includes up-and-coming American rider, Eric Willett, and talented Belgian rider, Seppe Smits, who are both also sitting in the TTR Top 10.

TTR World Snowboard Tour: Risks in Snowboarding

"The Risks in Snowboarding", is the 6th Video segment from a collection cut out of the 2009/2010 Swatch TTR TV Show series. This edit brings up the risks snowboarders face competing at events with purpose built structures that vary from event to event. The piece takes a look at Canadian rider, Sebastien "SebToots" Toutant's, injury at last years Billabong Air &Style Innsbruck and his firsthand account of the accident.  The kid is tough as nails, made a full recovery last season, came back to take a third place finish at the 6Star US Open slopestyle in March and will be competing at the Air & Style Beijing in a weeks time.Injuries are, unfortunately, sometimes part of a pro snowboarder's life. Even the most experienced athletes face risks every single day up on the hill and while competing at events. It's a fine line between stomping and bailing a trick and when a rider is going big and sketches out it can bring consequences.  In this video, Seb Toots, who is a very solid and consistent rider, was the first to test the speed for the large gap jump at the Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck last December.  Toots relives the moment in the hospital after the fall and explains, "I dropped, did two speed-checks and then right on the take-off, I figured, I was going way too fast." The setups and conditions are always different from event to event, and can event change by the hour, which is why riders need to test the jumps so they can dial in the speed and lines they need to take.  In this video you will see riders like Mikkel Bang and Torstein Horgmo, as well as, head judge Dan "Kiwi" Mayer reflect back on the day.

Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour: Progression in Snowboarding

"Progression" is the fourth segment from a collection cut out of the 2009/2010 Swatch TTR TV Show series. The 2009/10 season was a year where the game changed on the TTR Tour with riders learning different variations of double corks in both the pipe and on the slopestyle course. Shaun White, Luke Mitrani and Louie Vito all blew the top off the double cork trend in the halfpipe at the 2009 Burton New Zealand Open and set a new standard on the competition circuit. In this video, we hear from Marko Grilc, Mikkel Bang, Iouri Podladtchikov, Christian Haller, Torah Bright, Torstein Horgmo, Travis Rice and US Snowboard Coach, Bud Keene, on what it's like to do a double cork and how this type of trick has pushed the progression of snowboarding. Alongside the interviews is footage of Travis Rice and David Benedek throwing doubles at the 2006 Air & Style Munich and shots of Sebastien Toutant, Shaun White, Marko Grilc, Iouri Podladtchikov and others flaunting their double cork skills.To see this show in its entirety please visit http://www.ttrworldtour.com/multimedia/tv-schedule.html for television airing times in your region.

Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour: Style in Snowboarding

"Style in Snowboarding" is the first video segment from a collection cut out of the 2009/2010 Swatch TTR TV Show series. They will be released during November and December 2010.Style is an integral, yet intangible, element of snowboarding. Simply put, style makes snowboarding what it is. It differentiates it from other sports, such as team sports, where style is not an often spoken word. It is the expression of ones individuality based on how you hold your grab, control your body and so on. The words of Jason Horton seem to fit perfectly: "Style is the art of making something that's difficult and unnatural look easy." It is an endlessly debated topic and it is also a vital part of the judging criterion on all of the Swatch TTR Tour events.In this video segment you will hear thoughts on style from snowboarding legends (as well as rookies) like Nicolas Mueller (SUI), Heikki Sorsa (FIN), Todd Richards (USA), Marco Grilc (SLO), Mikkel Bang (NOR) and Stale Sandbech (NOR). Also snowboarders now working in the industry such as Jason Horton (GBR), Sean Lake (USA) and Tommy Klaehn (AUT) give their insights on the simple matters of style.To see this show in its entirety please visit http://www.ttrworldtour.com/multimedia/tv-schedule.html for television airing times in your region.
