Aussie Style Wars

CarolineB — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 05:45:26 +0000

Style Wars drew to a close as snowboarders take on the annual 28 stair competition, and Mark McMorris was crowned new Style Wars Stairmaster. Best Trick was awarded to Seb Toots for a gnarly Switch Hardway 270.

Style Wards was a huge success even if the riders couldn’t hit the super kicker from too much snowfall over the four day event. Skullcandy shredded hard, and partied even harder each night with the Bag Raiders, DJ Perplex, DJ Daniel San, RJ and Space Invadas, all of which were outfitted in the Mix Master headphones.

Rip Curl Grom Search

CarolineB — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:36:14 +0000

The second stop of the Rip Curl Grom Search Peru 2010 went off last weekend
with insane surfing by the groms 18 and under, as well as with the
skullcandy crew rocking out the whole scene with DJ Tommy Young on the
turntables, artist Sef painting boards for a whole bunch of stoked groms,
the skullcandy skate including Daniel Babas Suarez, Guillermo Batman
Vascones and Freddy Wong awing the kids with crazy tricks on the Milo
miniramp, a shattered skull mural for the kids to paint up (this one’s going
in the office wall for sure!) and lots of giveaways.

needless to say, the skullcandy surf team rocked the joint and took the
win with cristobal de col in the under 18 division. he also has
consolidated his leadership on the tour and looks likely to take the tour
title and grand prize wildcard into the Rip Curl Grom Search int’l final in
Australia next year! some other skullcandy teamriders who made the finals
include Tommy Tudela and Juninho Urcia, whom ripped throughout the whole
event.

New Zealand Skullcandy Jam Week

CarolineB — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:48:21 +0000

After weeks of planning and building it was on! First Lincoln University in Canterbury, Known for its agriculture and set amongst the farming community out of Christchurch, Lincoln throws a massive Winterfest party that included our jibs. Not making the jib hard is key to these events, aimed at all riders and students having fun while introducing top level riding is great to watch, 45 top riders showed up to match it with the Lincoln locals.

A down box and down rail were the ticket, big scaffold set up and an awesome turn out followed by a great line up of kiwi acts including; Tiki Tane, Sambora (Shapeshifter), and 7 piece band Rhythmonyx charge the sell out gig through the night.

Results:
1st: Ben Comber
2nd: Matt Turner
3rd: Matt Slocombe

Thanks to Jo putting together a great gig to start things off for the students. Next stop Auckland…

Auckland University is in the middle of our largest city, the logistics in getting everything sorted is pretty difficult due to the traffic and law makers not having much of an idea on what?s going on and doubters saying ?You can?t put a rail jam on in Auckland, there?s no snow!? A call to Snow planet to get a rail and snow and then to the scaffold company and we were away. We’ve tried 5 times to do one of these and failed every time? (Student President Aaron Haugh), it was time for a first. With a smaller set up and having a 5m down bar at our disposal it was on Auckland Universities first ever rail jam, proudly brought to you by Skullcandy and the Auckland University Snow sports Club. Drawing a crowd of over 2500 with awesome beats this event is here to stay. Plans are already in place to go bigger and better next year!! Job well done from the Auckland team. Back home to Christchurch for the final event.

Results:
1st Boarder – Samual Booley
2nd Top Boarder – Josh Briscoe
3rd Top Boarder- Adam Shaw
Best Skier – Manual Eder
Best Girl – Katie Scott
Best Trick – Samual Booley
Best Bail – Leon Thomason

Two days later the Canterbury University Boardriders Association (CUBA) Jib the Foundry was on! The weather looked terrible with rain and snow forecast this was going to be tight; the call was about to be made to postpone but the truck with 20 ton of snow was on its way, so there was no pulling back. With a new flat down box and 6m down bar, the set up is again to try and get all the club members and novices involved as well as top riders. Jib the Foundry always draws a crowd but due to the rain there were doubts, but the crowd braved the weather attracting another 2500 people and a record 110 riders, this was going to be an epic jam. The rain pulled away at the start at then it poured down, the CUBA team did an amazing job keeping the snow from disappearing and tents were up everywhere to keep the crowd dry. Some however enjoyed the rain so much they got into mudslides resembling the Glastonbury music festival! This proved to be a great night hosted by J Dubs (Shapeshifter crew) and music from local Dj?s Davey G, Percussion, Maddix and Soltrader.

Board:
1st: Ben Comber
2nd: Matt Turner
