Quiksilver Showdown Over the City

Grouse Mountain presents Vancouver’s largest Pro Am Snowboard Contest

with a roster of elite international riders.

January 30^th, 2008,  North Vancouver BC – Vancouver’s largest Pro-Am Snowboard Contest is coming to Grouse Mountain on March 28^th and 29^st.  The Quiksilver Showdown Over the City brings together the best professional and amateur riders from around the world to Vancouver’s backyard playground. For the first time, this event has been selected to be included in the TTR World Tour, the largest international snowboard contest body. With a $20,000 cash purse up for grabs and international recognition, this annual Grouse Mountain event has reached new peaks.

“This is, hands down, the biggest park event to hit Vancouver” says Jeff Silcock, Events Manager at Grouse Mountain.  “Being selected by the TTR World Tour means this year’s event will attract even more pro riders. With an event of this calibre happening minutes from downtown Vancouver, we’re expecting to draw some pretty high calibre talent and big crowds over the course of the weekend.”

Located on the Side Cut run, overlooking the city, the Quiksilver Park at Grouse Mountain is a favourite location for local and international pro riders and filmers not only for its world-class features, but for its unparalleled location and pristine, panoramic views.

“Partnering with Grouse Mountain for this event is exciting for Quiksilver as it allows us to work with our local community” says John Rainnie, Quiksilver Director of Sales and Marketing. “An event of this scale has a significant impact on our local riders, because they are exposed to international talent in their own backyard.”  With Quiksilver as the title sponsor of both the Quiksilver Park and the Showdown over the City, Grouse Mountain continues to evolve its parks and events to meet the demands of the substantial Vancouver park market.

Course Details:

The course will consist of highly progressive jib combos and Grouse Mountain’s infamous twin hips that create the illusion of flying over the Burrard Inlet.  The hips, located at the bottom of the course, are expected to be the biggest and steepest ever to hit the Quiksilver park, attracting veterans like Travis Williams, Spenser Forbes, Logan Short and Johnny Lyall.

Friday:  Amateur qualifier and Night Jib Session

Saturday: Hip, jib and open sessions, awards presentation and afterparty

Photo and filming opportunities include: qualifier, jib session, vendor village, rider practice, jib/hip/open sessions, award presentation and after-parties.

All editorial writers, photographers and filmers must confirm attendance at least 48 hours in advance.  Accredited media will check in at the Base Guest Services office to receive contest and afterparty passes.

Vancouver, B.C. – Airhole – Ninja Masks You Idiot -  Launches in North American and Japan Fall 2007

The Airhole concept is from the twisted minds of Chris Brown and Kale Stephens. It is the most technical concept ever applied on a face mask before. It’s a hole and you breath through it. Sounds simple right? Well it is, you idiot.

“Kale and I were up shredding one day in the backcountry and it was super cold on my face. I had used all kinds of scarves and bandanas before but nothing was ever that comfortable. That’s when I came up with the idea for face masks. The name was formed from clouds of smoke and the slogan came out of Kale’s mouth in the first commercial on the Fury blog @ IS designs’ website. “AIRHOLE: Ninja Masks You Idiot” Out of all of that we got a company on the go”, says co-founder Chris Brown.

We have always been into ninjas growing up and the masks are, well, ninja masks so we decided to go with that theme. They are far superior to anything that you have put on your face before. They have high quality functional materials that will leave you satisfied in cold or sunny situations. They will also look really dope with stylized patterns and ill fits.”

Airholes are available in five different styles, all named after ninja swords and knives, and available in three different colourways: Black Ninja, White Ninja, and Red Ninja. Their team is already heavily stacked: Kale Stephens, Chris Brown, Paavo Tikkanen, Trevor Andrew, Erik Christiansen, Iikka Backstrom, Eero Niemela, Johnny Lyall, Andrew Geeves, Mikey Rencz, Chris Dufficy, and industry veteran Jon Sommers.

Airhole will be available in North America and Japan Fall 2007. Endeavor Snowboards is handling all sales and press enquiries for North America. For more information, please contact Chris Martin at 604.646.4727 or chris@endeavorsnowboards.com.

About

Founded by pro snowboarders Kale Stephens and Chris Brown, Airholes are face rags for all of your life activities – snowboarding, snowmobiling, concealing your identity. Using innovative functional materials, unique form fitting patterns, and the most ground breaking concept – a hole that you breath through, Airholes are the most innovative product available in the face protection market today.
