SNOWBOARDING.
It's the freedom of expression. Everyone has a different stance, a different style, a different technique, a different line, a different run, a different experience. When you see a crew run a set in sequence and although all may look similar, there are unique variances in each person's steeze that makes each individual person a star in their own right. Freeride. Freestyle. Back country. Street. Park. Pipe. The boundaries are constantly being pushed and broken. We are all the same. Snowboarders. But were are all unique. We ride rocker or cambered decks. We ride powder boards or short jib sticks. We wear flashy baggy kits or tight emo pants. The opportunity for individualism and self expression is limited only by the imagination of the individual.

2010 Billabong Flaunt it - Mt Norquay

Saturday February 13, 2010 

 Billabong Flaunt it at Mount Norquay 


How can I sum up the contest that just went down yesterday . . . Pure Awesomeness! These ladies were seriously pushing the level of riding to new heights and motivating each other along the way.
If you were watching the slope style portion you would be oohhh'ing and aaah'ing over the steezy grabs, 180's, 360's, 540's, a 720, can't forget the switch tricks and back flips.
The Rail Jam was insane, with tail slides, frontsides, 180 on/ off, 270 on's 270 out's, switch ups . .  you name it and it was thrown down in style

So picture wise, this is what I got from the contest. Ladies if you like what I got let me know, we'll set something up to get some of these pics out to you. If you don't see any pics of you here check out my flickr site or email me or FB and I will see what I can find.

And just remember to be kind and remember the photo credits.
