I live in Mammoth Lakes California now, and I like to ride there because they get lots of snow and lots of sunny days too. What age did you start snowboarding?
I started snowboarding when I was seven years old.     What snowboarders do you most look up to?
Growing up I looked up to Anne Molin and Nicola- they have influenced my riding more than most other people. What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
I ride pipe mostly. I like it because each hit is dependent on the former one, you need to have everything perfect in a pipe run for it to be good. And I like that there are lots of combinations of tricks/runs to get creative with.     What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
I think winning the Olympics when I was 18 in my home country was the most memorable snowboarding experience.     Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
I travel most of the year, I have two favorite places, New Zealand and Japan. Beautiful and very different from home.What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
I like to hang with my friends, be outside and do fun things. Pretty much the same thing that I do when I am snowboarding. How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?
TTR has been great for snowboarding. I like the idea of a tour to follow through out the year.]]>USA1948.082012-03-10 00:00:002012 ]]>014http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/clark-kelly.htmlfemale http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/bleiler-gretchen.html 2. Bleiler, Gretchen 855.81 Bleiler, Gretchenhttp://www.ttrworldtour.com/typo3temp/GB/G_c5bb0f524c.pngWhat is your favourite place to ride and why?
Aspen/Snowmass is my hometown and there is a reason I still call it home! Four totally different mountains that offer their own unique experience and some of the best parks and pipes in the world.What age did you start snowboarding? 
At the age of 11.
What snowboarders do you most look up to? 
Snowboarders who are taking our sport to new heights on all levels; Jeremy Jones and Travis Rice are two who come to mind first.
What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why? 
I love to ride all types of terrain but competing in the halfpipe has always been my thing.  I'm a competitive person and so for me I rise to another level when I'm under those circumstances.
What is your most memorable snowboarding experience? 
The run that won me the X Games in 2010; it was the ultimate "in the zone" experience where everything came together perfectly and effortlessly and it was so fun!
Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
I love to visit my own home!  I love to visit New Zealand and I always love a good backcountry cat or heli experience
What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding? 
Catching up on life, enjoying being with family, walking my dog Kota, surfing, practicing yoga, reading.
How has TTR affected your snowboarding career? 
I have not quite experienced TTR but I'm looking forward to doing so this season]]>USA2855.812012-03-10 00:00:002012  ]]>024http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/bleiler-gretchen.htmlfemale http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/castellet-queralt.html 3.

There is no place like home: Engadin Switzerland.

What age did you start snowboarding?
At the age of 14.

What snowboarders do you most look up to?
Riders who are comfortable at every terrain - backcountry, park, pipe.  

What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
In terms of competitions, I focus mostly on pipe. I love to ride transitions! But besides that, I love to shred the park or go for a good freeride whenever possible.

What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
There are too many good experiences to pick one only....

Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
I usually like all the places I get to travel to, I think every one is special for itself and therefore a great experience. But I enjoy New Zealand a lot every year. It is just a great place where time runs a little less fast.

What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
My studies at University always find a way to keep me busy when I'm not snowboarding. Besides that, I enjoy working on my rookie project "Swiss Snowboard Girls", meeting friends, cooking, working out and being home sweet home.How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?
TTR has given me the opportunity to attend great events, ride with the best riders of the world and evolve my snowboarding. The TTR Tour is a great motivation to keep going and live snowboarding. Thanks for that, guys!]]>SUI5790.642012-03-10 00:00:002012  ]]>054http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/haller-ursina.htmlfemale http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/sadar-cilka.html 6.

She is a down to earth, yet highly motivated competitor and is one to keep an eye out for on the TTR Tour. She also had a spot to ride at the Vancouver Olympics, which is a nice achievement from the 18 year old.She finished in 17th place in Vancouver. Her Swatch TTR season ended in World No. 9 but with yet another top 10 finish at the Burton New Zealand Open, it remains to see where Cilka will go in 2010/11. INTERVIEW WITH CILKA IN JANUARY 2010

You are from Slovenia. The country is getting more well known for their snowboarding scene. How did you get into snowboarding and who thought you your first steps and tricks on the board?

I used to train gymnastics and after I quit, when I was 13, I tried lots of different sports. After a year I found snowboarding the most interesting so I concentrated just on that.
Some Hansi from Austria thought me first turns and next season I signed up in a snowboarding club in my hometown and they thought me my first tricks.

Where do you usually ride and with who?
When Im at home I usually go to Vogel, otherwise I'm just riding where the competitions are, or depends where snow is.
I like to ride with my friends from back home, but when I'm away I like to hang out with Sarka because she motivates me with her positive energy and with Marko, because he knows a lot and can help me a lot too.

What is the snowboard scene in Slovenia like?
Its not big, but its getting better every year. We have a lot of snowboarding clubs, we have 3 parks and kids know a lot about the snowboarding scene abroad.

You are in the Slovenian National Team and will represent your country at the Olympics in 2010. How does this affect your riding goals in general and your training?
Last year after World Championship I got an opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. Trainings changed a bit, I rode more in pipe than slopestyle. My goal for Vancouver is just to do the best that I can, because I still think I am a beginner at all this stuff so I rather don’t expect too much.

Beside the Olympics Games, what are your goals for your snowboard career? Where would you like to see yourself on the TTR Tour?
In the upcoming season I would like to do my best on the TTR, I wanna finish in the top.

How and when did you begin your competitive snowboarding career?
I started in 2007, with some Big Air European cups in Innsbruck I think.

Since 2007, you have been in many contests on the TTR Tour and outside of it. What is the most thrilling part of contests for you? Do you have plans for filming or photo shoots?
I think contests are good for young riders to prove themselves and I think its good to be a bit competitive, it can help you with different stuff in your life. I would really like to film and shoot too.

How did you end up competing outside Slovenia?
My coach gave me a ride abroad.


How did you find your first sponsors? Which part was particularly difficult when you started your professional snowboard career and which was easy?
My friend helped me to write an email to a local store dealer, I had a meeting and I got a snowboard for free.:)
Im not a professional yet, but I think dealing with all the sponsors alone it is difficult, because you have to represent yourself in the best way you can and shouldn’t sound too confident at the same time. Easy part with me is that I have the family that supports me and help me a lot.


You are still going to school. How do you combine the two things and is it your goal to make snowboarding your career once you have graduated?
I still go to a normal high school. Always in the beginning of the school year I talk to all the professors and let them know my situation. I can pick the dates of exams by myself, that’s how they make my education easier.:)
I will still try to do my best in snowboarding after my graduation, but I will apply to the university too, because Im scared I would get to lazy if I don’t apply straight away.

Candrian, Sina 510.59 Candrian, Sina http://www.ttrworldtour.com/typo3temp/GB/S_43ea3e6924.png What is your favourite place to ride and why?
My favorite place to ride is Laax. I grew up in Flims and I had the mountains just in front of my door. I really like my home town and I love the backcountry in Laax. I enjoy every day snowboarding in Laax and I love to shred with my friends! What age did you start snowboarding?
I started snowboarding when I was about 6 years old. My father inspired me, when he learned it. I thought I had to learn it too, because it looks cool. So I started with my mother and from the day one I love snowboarding! What snowboarders do you most look up to?
I really Nicolas Müller riding, Everything looks so smooth and stylish! We live at the same place so I enjoy every day when we snowboard together. My big inspiration when I was younger was my dad. He learned me how to do it! What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
I focus on riding slopestyle. I love this discipline! You can create your own run and at every contest you have to show or create a new run because every slopestyle is different. I enjoy riding the pipe as well. Every single season I try to be focused on learning new tricks but I also try to go out in the backcountry to films or shoot something. What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
I have a lot of memorable snowboard experience.  I still can remember the day, when I started at the Burton European in 2006 in Laax. It was my first big contest and I won the Girls Slopestyle and couldn’t believe it. The whole week was a big inspiration for me. I never thought I had enough skills and talent to be a pro. After this week I was super motivated to train hard to become a professional snowboarder. Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
I love the summer. I really like to be on the beach and go surfing. Two of the nicest cities are Barcelona and New York. Since I've been in New York I almost go there every year to compete at the US Open and I visit New York in spring time.
Fläsch is one of my favourite towns in Switzerland. My grandmother and cousins live there. Every time I visit, I see all of my family members and we have at least a coffee together. Fläsch is a little small town with a huge character. What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
A normal day for me means go to school in Chur. I study at the “Pädagogische Fachhochschule”. I love to do something for my brain besides snowboarding and I love to work with children, so I can’t wait to teach children. How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?
Every year I try to compete at all 6* events. For me this means a lot and my goal is to win the tour one day. All the TTR Events are well organized and the courses are in a very good shape! It is nice to have a TTR ranking and a tour. This helps a lot to get the snowboard sport more famous and understood by the public.]]> SUI 27 510.59 2012-03-10 00:00:00 2012  ]]> + +11 38 3 http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/candrian-sina.html female http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/cohen-jennifer.html 28.

The 2008/2009 season was a slightly different story for Jamie, and while it may not have yielded the same results as her previous efforts, she still managed to prove her resilience and resolve. The 2008 Southern Hemisphere showcased Anderson as the rider to beat. The 5Star Burton Australian and New Zealand Opens as well as the 3Star Billabong Snowstock 08 all saw her finish on the podium in both Slopestyle and Halfpipe competitions, claiming four titles out of the five results.

While Anderson has built a reputation as the most solid Slopestyle rider in the business, last season saw her progression climb dramatically, adapting to the demands of defending a Tour Championship title, resulting in early success in the Halfpipe. Anderson continued her success that season with a second place Slopestyle finish at the 5Star Nissan X-Trail Asian Open in Japan, but unfortunately it would be her last entry in the 08/09 tour as she succumbed to a mid season injury. While she may have been out of the championship title race, Jamie, with her high-points earnings in the early season, managed to finish third at the end of the season, setting herself up nicely for the current 2009/2010 Swatch TTR World Tour.

What exactly makes Jamie such a successful snowboarder? Three words: Versatility, style and raw talent. Ok, that’s four words, but the point stands that few rival Jamie’s tricks and board manipulation abilities. Her rail combos are buttery smooth and complex, and taking the bigger Slopestyle lines her spins are floaty, solid and offer more than your textbook 540. Her devotion to constantly out perform her opponents and progress in order to win is how she’s been able to build such an impressive competitive career.

Entering the 2009/2010 season we’ve already witnessed her success with a Slopestyle Title and Top 10 Pipe finish at the 5Star Burton NZO along with a 3Star Billabong BroDown Big Air Title. “I always love coming down to the Southern Hemisphere, good people, good town, definitely good to get a head start on the season… I’ll see how everything goes!” It follows a long list of competitions for Jamie, on and offside the TTR Tour. She does not only finish the slopestyle format of the Winter Dew Tour in the first place but also takes second place at the Winter X-Games. Back on the Swatch TTR Tour she proves her skills to her competitors again, and with a victory at the 6Star Roxy Chicken Jam US and a third place at the 6Star Burton US Open Slopestyle she managed to still become one of the hottest contestants for the TTR World Champion Title. In the end, however, it was Finnish Enni Rukajärvi who was crowned Champion after Jamie only placed 10th in the halfpipe of the Chicken Jam. Jamie finished her season in World No. 5. ]]> USA 39 337.53 2012-03-10 00:00:00 2012 - -2 37 2 http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/anderson-jamie.html female http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/84471.html 40.

Pancochova, Sarka 155.25 Pancochova, Sarka http://www.ttrworldtour.com/typo3temp/GB/S_67c827bba1.png
Sarka grew up putting in the hours at her local mountain, Morava Pico in Czech, where she fast developed into one of the craziest little rippers on the mountain, going huge off the kickers and hitting gnarly rails with the best of them. Looking at Sarka’s early contest results you can see that she dominated most of the local contests she entered, and as is the story with the TTR groms, if you dominate your local contest scene, it’s only a matter of time before the sponsors come banging on your door and you’re on your way to the big time.  The sponsors did indeed come calling, and before she knew it she was jet-setting round the globe, showing the world what Czech shredding is all about.

In 07/08 Sarka gained huge recognition outside of the Czech Republic, taking out the 3Star Quiksilver Snowjam and both the Protest and O2 World Rookie Fests, whilst posting a ton of other impressive results, showing Europe, and the world that she was a force to be reckoned. She spent her summer in New Zealand and Saas Fee training for the 08/09 season’s Northern Hemisphere events and the hard work paid off for her at the 4Star Pleasure Jam, in Dachstein, where she unleashed a silky smooth Switch BS 180 and BS 7, backed up by another FS 7, to claim first place and announce her arrival to the big league. She performed consistently in both slopestyle and halfpipe events throughout the winter finishing the 08/09 season at World No. 8 making sure the industry, media and fans were aware of this new Czech talent.

2009/2010 Sarka is back stronger than ever and she started off in the Southern Hemisphere with a 7^th place at the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open slopestyle and a 2^nd place at the 3Star Billabong BroDown. A 4^th place at the 4Star Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam lifted her into the TTR Tour lead, where she stayed for 11 weeks for the first time in her career. She went on to take 4^th at the Roxy Chicken Jam slopestyle in Saalbach and then she had her first 6Star podium moment with a 3^rd place at the Burton European Open slopestyle. In the 09/10 season Sarka was like many athletes balancing her TTR commitments with Olympic qualifying events and swinging by the Olympics (taking 14^th place). Her fifth place in the slopestyle of the Roxy Chicken Jam US, the final 6Star event for women in 09/10, and an eight place at the slopestyle of the Burton US Open, pushed Sarka into the final TTR Top 3 in World No. 3, one step closer to her goal of becoming TTR World Champion one day. Thanks to her final season ranking, Sarka will be invited to all major competitions on the Tour next year and received prize money of $ 15,000 USD.  Sarka’s the No. 1 female representing Czech right now and with skills and abilities like hers, going bigger and spinning smoother than most girls her age, she’s able to battle it out with the girls she’s grown up idolizing.  She has snowboarding in her blood, and with plenty of points already posted, and an exciting desire to push female riding to the next level (read: double back flips) eyes will be glued to Sarka as she amps up the contest levels, putting pressure on her heroes.

INTERVIEW WIHT SARKA IN DEC 2009

1. You recently took out the 4Star Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam in Dachstein, Austria.  That contest was stacked with some premier TTR female riders and you managed to beat them all! How did you feel when you won? How did it compare to your other 2Star and 3Star contest wins?

It was a really good feeling, my first really big contest.  This contest was fun, many friends of mine and good park conditions.  This was my best result until now.

2. During the contest we saw you stomp a BS 7 to FS 7, some super impressive tricks.  Have you been training hard? What other stuff can we expect to see from you this season?

Yeah I was in New Zealand this summer for pipe training, and also I was in Saas Fee, there were some good kickers so I was pushing it all summer.  You will be really surprised at what I will do in the next contests.

3. Your are always charging the big kickers and starting to get a reputation as a girl as who is not afraid to put your body on the line.  What would you say motivates you when you’re snowboarding? I think my friends motivate and push me to ride the most.   I couldn´t be as good as I am without them.  I also love snowboarding and air time on big kickers.   This also pushes me, as does stomping new tricks.

4. You have been riding with Tina Ramholt (SUI) a lot lately, another a charging female rider on the Tour. Do you motivate each other?

Yes I love riding with her, she is a really good rider and she pushes me to do better stuff for sure.  It is so much fun when we ride together I hope we can ride all competitions together and win.

5. You are from The Czech Republic, a country that is fast developing into a powerhouse of European Snowboarding.  Can you tell us a bit about what it has been like to be a rider coming up in Czech Republic?

We have some good parks where you can ride, but the problem was that the last two winters we didn´t have enough snow.  Luckily for me I have good sponsors, Nugget, Flow, Bern and Spy, they are like my family and have helped me so much.

6. When did you realize that you could have a career as professional snowboarder?

When I started to win every contest in Czech, then I went aboard and
it also was not so hard to win.

7. What do you want to achieve with your snowboarding career?

I would like to go to the Olympic Games and also get some good results in the TTR rankings.  I would like to advance girls snowboarding to a higher level whilst also focusing on improving my style.

8. When did you first start competing? How have competitions changed since then?

I started competing about two years ago at some locals comps in Czech and since then my snowboarding has changed so much.  The first times were good in Czech because I won everything, but later it got boring.  I wanted to be good aboard and this was break point for me to leave Czech.


9. What does snowboarding mean to you?

It’s my life, I love it, I can´t be without snowboarding, for me it’s like food, something I need.  You always know if you have some troubles you just go and ride and during the riding your troubles are gone, just riding and nothing else.


10. Who are your favourite riders and why?

I don’t have a favourite rider, but some riders like Markku Koski, Eero Ettala  are so good, specially Markku, he really knows what snowboarding means and I like it. Also Martin Cernik, a Czech rider, has helped me so much and I like him for this.]]> CZE 87 155.25 2012-03-10 00:00:00 2012  ]]> - -9 78 1 http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/pancochova-sarka.html female http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/baumgartner-julia.html 88.
