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 1 948.08 2012-03-09 00:00:00 2012 0 1 4 http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/anderson-jamie.html female 2.

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 4 857.83 2012-03-09 00:00:00 2012 Burton ]]> - -1 3 4 http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/candrian-sina.html female 5.

She is a down to earth, yet highly motivated competitor and is one to keep an eye out for on the TTR Tour.

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.

I really enjoy riding in Hintertux in the Autumn, it's the start of the season it's so exciting to get back on snow, there is a sick crew of people out there, the weather is good, suns normally out and the park is on point pre season! And it's not too cold so you can go glacial pool jumping after riding !!!

What age did you start snowboarding?
I was once a skier from the age of 4 at my local dry slope in Kent.., I started snowboarding when I was 12, I went 3 or 4 times but I really got into it when I turned 15 and I could get away at the weekends with friends!

What snowboarders do you most look up to?
Jenny Jones, she's a fellow Brit, a true legend and charges so hard on big jumps! She has proved it doesn't matter where your from anything is possible and that gives me lots of motivation. Also Cheryl Maas and Kimi Fascani are charging the way for progression. Doubles... It's exciting to see how they are pushing the  sport, and I really respect what they are doing out in the backcountry.

What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
Slopestyle I really enjoy the variety and the different challenges each course brings. No course is ever the same so it always stays fresh!

What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
Last season when the Chicken Jam in Mammoth got cancelled there was soo much snow and the mountain was shut, we hiked up off the road and built a tiny jump and had a mega huck session into the pow, it was so fun just trying new things and having a really fun crew, that's the most important for me! We all got drenched in pow, learned new things and had a good laugh!

Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
I really enjoyed NZ, it's so far away from home, yet so similar, the people are super friendly it's the most beautiful country and it's so fun to ride there!

What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
If I am at home, gym, catch up with some friends in the evening and generally if there is swell head up to the North coast to surf at Portrush, we have a sick little surf scene in Northern Ireland!

My favorite place to ride is Breck, in Colorado. It's so much fun every time I go there and the set-ups are always perfect. I'm really happy that I moved there this season and get to ride there every day!

What age did you start snowboarding?
I started snowboarding when I was 7 years old, joined a team when I was 8, and started competing when I was 9.

What snowboarders do you most look up to?
I most look up to Kelly Clark and Jamie Anderson. I look up to Kelly because she's always trying to progress even though she's already on top. I look up to Jamie because she's got such smooth style and she's a really smart competitor.

What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
I focus mostly on slopestyle because that's where I've had the most success in the past. I also like it a bit more than other aspects of snowboarding because it gives you more freedom and it's easier to incorporate your own style into your riding.

What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
My most memorable snowboarding experience was probably being able to go to the Arctic Challange last year. It was my dream goal in the begining of the season and I was really pumped to be around such good riders at such an amazing venue.

Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
My favorite place to visit is probably Wanaka, New Zealand because it's so beautiful and it has an awesome town to hang out in. I probably like it the most because it's such a good place to chill even when you're off snow.

What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
On a normal day when I'm not snowboarding, I usually sleep really late (until like 10-11), make myself a big breakfast, do a lot of school-work, watch a movie, have dinner, more schoolwork, and then go to bed. It's not all that exciting. During the off seasons I go back to school in Stowe, so I'll be there from 8am until 3pm and then have sports practice until about 5.

How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?
TTR has been such a huge part of my career. I was really young when I got to the point in my career where I was ready to do bigger events. I couldn't do any of the FIS ones because they all had age restrictions, and so I spent my winters on the TTR tour when I was 11 and 12. After that, I started getting invited to a bunch of the contests and that's still pretty much the only tour that I do consistently. I think that all of the sponsors that I've gotten have been thanks to my results while competing in TTR 5 and 6 star events. ]]> USA 15 681.01 2012-03-09 00:00:00 2012 - -4 11 4 http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/77872.html female 16.

Breckenridge - the best big jumps in the world! What age did you start snowboarding?
1997 - i was 14 years old and came from classic ballett. I was not made for snowboarding. What snowboarders do you most look up to?
Anybody who makes incredibly hard tricks look like the easiest thing in the world. What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
I love slopestyle the most because it is the most creative - every course is different to the other. I enjoy combining rails and jumps into a run. What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
the feeling of landing a trick you didn´t think you could do. The moment you land good and ride away it´s a huge wave of happiness that just takes you away from reality. I haven´t really found that wave anywhere else in life. Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
I love being based out of Breckenridge, but my favourite event are the European Open in Laax. It´s always an amazing week - for snowboarding and partying. What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
Have a good sleep and healthy food, go to the gym and do some computer work. maybe play some piano and if i am in Munich play with my cat. How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?

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 7th place at the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open slopestyle and a 2nd place at the 3Star Billabong BroDown. A 4th 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 4th at the Roxy Chicken Jam slopestyle in Saalbach and then she had her first 6Star podium moment with a 3rd 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 14th 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 48 439.57 2012-03-09 00:00:00 2012 Volcom ]]> - -5 43 3 http://www.ttrworldtour.com/ranking/rider-report/rider/pancochova-sarka.html female 49.

What fears do you have? How do you deal with them?

Whenever I am uncertain I tend to be in a fearful state. That's why I say to myself, "Fear disappears when you are grateful." It's amazing how you can change a state when you start to list the things you are sooo grateful for in that moment.

What made you start your sport and why?

Grew up playing organized sports, and skating a ton it was only a matter of time until I finally tried snowboarding. An all girls board shop that sponsored me for skateboarding, took me up to get lessons, and on third day I skipped my lessons to enter an all girls slopestyle pro/am. I placed second and won a bunch of swag. I haven't looked back since!!!

What are you passionate about and why?

People are my passion. Well, people and sports. It's the 2 things in this world that I can't seem to get enough of. I cannot go a day without action and if I could fit it in everyday I would snowboard, surf, wakeboard, hike, bike, rock climb, golf, go-kart and anything else active and challenging. I would love to do it everyday if I had enough time and energy! I love to talk story with people. I love hearing funny travel stories, craziest experiences, personal discoveries. I love it. I love people and connecting, and understanding how we all relate to each other and within ourselves.

What makes you different than other girls or just unique?

I consider myself and old soul. I always saw it as a child as something weird or unique, but now I see it as a strength and beauty within. I feel like I am just starting understand that person and learn about her. All of us are so beautiful in our own special ways. All of us with different nationalities, gene pools, upbringings, every little thing making us uniquely special. I really believe that about everyone. I feel we are all here for our own divine purpose. We all have our own strengths to contribute to society one way or another.
    
What are the greatest signs you have received in life?

I feel like the universe, God, is constantly showing us "signs." The more we choose to become truly aware of our surroundings, every little detail, the more "signs" we can see. Its amazing how much we distract ourselves all day long, finding very little time to tap into the universe and within ourselves. It's hard to make time everyday for yourself, and nothing else. It is one of my constant struggles.
    
Who is the most influential person in your life and why?

I thankfully surround myself around many individuals that inspire and influence me for the positive. But Tara Dakides has probably been the most influential. She is one of my closest friends, and has been mentoring me through my snowboarding and life. She is very patient person and such a good listener. Never tells me what to do, just tries to give me tools to get there on my own. I am very grateful for our friendship.
    
What are the 3 biggest things you learned from your parents?

1. Hard work. 2. Dream Big, you can make anything happen. 3. How to truly LOVE

Tell us a little about your best friend. Why are they your best friend and how are you alike and different from each other?

My best friend is the best athlete I know, she is really close to her family, she is straight to the point, passionate, charismatic, funny, and feisty. I think we get along so well, because we challenge each other athletically and emotionally. We both like to take life full on. She is different in that she is a little more carefree, which is great, because someone has to help me mellow out.
What do you hold the most valuable to you in life?

My friends and family. What are the things that inspire you?

People inspire me most. People with good values, character, spirituality, love, ambition, direction, grace, dreams, PASSION.
    
What is the greatest lesson you have ever learned?

To love unconditionally and it will persevere above all.
        
How do you see yourself?

Hmm, I suppose I see myself as someone that is genuine and real, but goofy as they come! I am someone that truly cares about those around her, and is always seeking for the same treatment. I am a dreamer, always reaching for that next star. I am an athlete, a believer, ambitious, family orientated, competitive, traveling, homebody, a dog lover. A passionate person. An old soul.

Keystone resort! Because the jumps and rail line are always crazy fun and the park chair allows high speed laps.
   
What age did you start snowboarding?
17... I didn't even know what snowboarding was before that.
   
What snowboarders do you most look up to?
I love watchin old shred movies and have a ton of respect for the older generation of snowboarders that paved the way for all us spoiled kids today.
   
What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
Slopestyle because there is nothing better then lots of air time and no one wants to see my ride pipe.
   
What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
Backcountry trips with friends. Those are the memories that will stay with me a life time.
   
Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
Honestly I love being home. Colorado gets awesome consistant snow every year and it has great terrain if you know where to look and the best parks in the world. If I had to pick another zone it would be Jackson hands down. That place is unreal.
   
What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
Usually a latte, some time hanging with my dogs, keeping my clothing store (Moxie Clothing Boutique) in Breckenridge up to date, and trying to fit in a work out here or there. Rock climbing is my new favorite activity.
   
How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?
I've mostly filmed in the past and I'm new to the contest circuit so we shall see!
