Online competitor registration is now open for the first-ever Burton Canadian Open, taking place from December 1-7, 2008 at the Calgary Olympic Development Association’s (CODA) Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta. CODA has been providing world-class sport facilities for Olympic development for 20 years and Canada Olympic Park is home to the exact duplicate of the halfpipe that will be built for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The third stop on the 2008/2009 Burton Global Open Series and a SWATCH TTR 5Star event, the Canadian Open will include slopestyle and halfpipe competitions, offering riders the chance to earn a piece of the $50,000 USD prize purse and gain valuable points towards Burton Global Open Series championship titles and the Swatch Ticket To Ride World Tour championship titles.

Here’s how to register to compete:

Head to www.opensnowboarding.com, go to the Canadian Open homepage and click on Registration in order to register online for the Registration Waitlist. Registration will be open until October 20, 2008. If we receive more registrations per format than the number of pre-qualification spots available, riders will be selected from the Registration Waitlist based on their BGOS standings/results and their TTR standings/results, with priority given to the riders with the best standings/results. On or before October 27th, you will be notified VIA EMAIL (and only email) if your registration has been successful and that your entry for the Canadian Open Halfpipe and/or Slopestyle Pre-Qualifiers is confirmed. At that time, your credit card will be charged a non-refundable $75CAD per discipline as applicable. If your name is not selected, you will automatically be added to the waitlist (which shall be selected at random). Top pros will receive special invites to compete. For complete details/rules on the registration process, visit the Canadian Open home page on opensnowboarding.com. 

With events scheduled year-round and in six countries, the Burton Global Open Series boasts the most lucrative cumulative prize purse in snowboarding – over $900,000 – with equal prize money to men and women. All six Burton Global Open Series events offer riders the chance to earn points towards a male and female championship title, each worth $100,000, currently the largest single payout in competitive snowboarding. Following this summer’s New Zealand and Australian Opens, Luke Mitrani (USA) and Jamie Anderson (USA) are in the lead for the $100,000 Burton Global Open Series Championship title.

The Burton Global Open Series is also part of the SWATCH Ticket To Ride (TTR) World Snowboard Tour, the largest group of independent freestyle snowboard events in the world. TTR ranks riders based on their results at participating competitions and crowns the TTR World Champions at the US Open. The current leaders for the TTR titles are Chas Guldemond (USA) and 2007/08 TTR world champion Jamie Anderson.

If you can’t make it to Canada, watch the semi-finals and finals live on Go211.com, where webcasts and highlights of the competitions will also be available for on-demand viewing once the event is over.

Burton would like to thank CODA, Red Bull, Go211.com, Coors Light, Alberta Snowboard Association and Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour for their support of the Canadian Open.

There was an earthquake that happened here during my stay here in China. I didn't feel it, but in Sichuan province where the epicenter was located, it measured 7.9 on the Richter scale. It was a huge tragic disaster for the Chinese. Some estimates were as high as 50,000 people dead or missing. The news footage showed entire towns leveled. To make matters worse, the roads were blocked by landslides. Huge boulders came down and crushed tractor trailers like tin cans. It was inspiring to see the people and the government spring into action. Prime Minsister Wen Jia Bao was at the scene, in the rain, within 4 hours. He went from village to village for a week straight trying to reassure survivors, injured, and rescuers alike.  Time after time, he would personally comfort victims.  This is an amazingly stressful situation for the 56 year old leader.  You could feel the compassion in his voice.  President Hu Jin Tao also is doing the same. Literally, he is sitting in the dirt on a  piece of cardboard, holding victims hands and comforting them. The rest of China cued up in lines around the block to donate money for those in need. The whole country rallied to do anything they could to abate the disaster.  One particularly tragic site was a large school that collapsed with all the students inside.  Hundreds of children died and there were sad reminders in the shoes and book bags mixed in with the debris.  Just to put the immense nature of this earthquake would be like relocating the entire state of Wisconsin; providing food shelter and sanitation; and returning them to productive lives.

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t remember the entire weekend. But one thing I can say is there was a good group, great snow, and never a dull moment! I’ll try and piece it together...

I get up around 9:30 Friday, March 14^th. I grab a shower, eat a pancake and head out the door. I get to Al and Brien’s house around 10:00, Brien’s still in bed and Al’s out shopping for trip supplies (I got mine the day before.) Which consists mostly of Booze and Energy Drinks. So he gets back with Arby, his sister’s soon to be husband. (A little Fun Fact: He proposed to her at PowderKing on an Earlier trip that year.) So Judy and Arby take off to Grand Prairie to pick up supplies and Mike and Ray for the trip. So we load up the truck and head to Donnelly for lunch at Kan’s Corner. Than we go and pick up Amanda and the rest of our shi*t, which we forgot but remembered on our way to lunch. We out of town by 1. So we get to Rycroft, buy some snacks and huge cans of Monster, 710ml! Wicked! We’re between Dawson Creek and Chetwyne, we hit a Check-stop, just after we literally molested a hot chick and her good-looking mom, with a sign that reads "Call Me! 1-780-837-8869" (Brien’s Cell Number! LoL.) Luckily we don’t get messed with, but the cop acted like Brien stole the truck, checking his plate and his tires/rims. Why the tire? We’ll never know. So we get to P.K., and our A-Frame accomadations. We unload and Start Socializing. We start drinking as we check the place out and its wicked! A total party house! A drum set, 3 Guitars, and a Gas Fireplace and huge windows, with a wicked view of the mountains! So far there is 7 of us, Me, Al, Brien, Amanda, Jody, Arby, Mike and Little Ray, the youngest of the group, a cool 10 years young. So we start playing 31... with drinks. So I suck at drinking game, and I lose hard since the have turned to shots. By the last couple rounds I was doing 4, 6 and 8 shot hands. The last hand of the game, I lose, 8 shots, I say, "f*ck It" and Chug half a bottle of Cherry Whiskey and go to bed. But not before Matt and Guss show up. Matt drinks 2 thirds of a 26 of J.D. and then has a beer and Pukes a huge puddle. I fix the toilet for the third time and finally go to bed.

Al and I awake to Matt Bangin’ on the drums and yelling "Wake up a**holes!" Its 7:00 in the Morning! f*ck! And I’m as drunk as I was when I went to bed! So we roll out of bed around 8, and Matt’s still drunk too! Wicked! We all eat breakfast, suit up, and head out. Me, Matt, and Al jump on the back of Arby and Jody’s Jeep. We get a lot of smiles as we roll into the P.K. parking lot. So we get out lift tickets and head up the Mountain. We get to the top of the T-bar, me , Matt, and Al are going to hike to the summit, to our surprise everyone is coming, even little Ray and Jody! So we hike to the top. I don’t know if anyone elsa felt as light headed and as drunk as me and Matt from the night before but hell did that make a harsh hike! Our group breaks up into two groups. Mellow group consists of Arby, Judy, Ray, Guss, Amanda, and Brien. The Gnar group is Me, Matt, Al, and Mike. We ride the trees all the way back to the A-Frame for lunch. So we eat and Bullshi*t for a bit than header back out. We meet up with the rest of the group and shred the rest of the day? We end the day back at the A-Frame, and we invent a new drinking game called "Spin Draw" you pick a card, and if your is the lowest you have to take a shot, spin on a stool 10 times around fast, and take another shot. I got screwed in this game as usual. Pulling the most low cards, thus taking the most shots and rides on the stool. After my last shot I head outside to cool down and spit a lot. So I’m buzzin’ pretty good now, cooking stakes on the BBQ, when Arby says, "Lets go hit that roof, lets just go and session something." So after supper all us guys go out and build a jump, but its so dark by the time its ready, that no one sticks anything, except landing on there asses (Good thing I was wearing my butt-pads, and it was slightly powdered up.) So we head in and watch some footage from the day on the TV, have some beers before we call it a night.

So we get up the next day, eat breakie, get geared up and head out the door. We jump on the back of the jeep again for the ride to the hill. So we go to the top of the T- bar and ride down to Satisfaction and have a beer for the trip like usual tradition. Than we ride the day, I’ve been filming most of the time with my Goggle-Cam, and got some rad footage of jumps and Tree-riding (2 GB worth! Probley only 10 minuets after editing.) The day ends with everyone back at the A-Frame having drinks, packing up, and watching the days footage. We all load into our Vehicles after saying our goodbyes and make our trips back home...

Wow, I remember quiet a bit! A damn good trip, with some damn fun people. I’m going back again, next chance I get!

Hello everybody, it’s time for a new O2 Blog. As I told you in the last Blog, I was going to an North American EastCoast Trip with Isenseven for 3 weeks in february. We were a pretty big and good mixed crew of 6 Riders, one Filmer and one Photographer and our idea was to rent two RV in New Jersey and drive up the whole Eastcoast up to Montreal and stop at some areas to do some Urban riding or whatever we find to hit with the snowboard. So after our long journey from Europe we started our trip with holidays, left our boardbags closed and spent 3 days in New York. Our Isenseven „Daddy“ and Filmer Vincent was the only guy of our crew who has been to this amazenig city before and he showed us around... the time in New York was great, we spent our time on top of the Rockafeller Cemter, Times Square, in crazy good Night Clubs and Gay Bars, visited a OK GO Concert, ate good food and spent a lot of money for new clothes... I took a few pictures with my O2 Nokia N95 cellphone for you. After the 3 days in New York we where a little bit sad to leave this great place but also excited for the next chapters our trip will bring. So we drove to New Jersey to get our rented RV’s, went to the Grocery Store to buy a lot of food and booze And drove 6 hours up to our first destination Burlington, we had pretty good luck with the snow because as soon as we arrived it was dumping very hard and it was getting colder. Our American Rider in the crew Travis Limogue who used to live in Burlington showed us around and we got pretty sweet stuff done... and even delicious self-made hot dogs After a few days we continued driving and went up to Montpellier a small town one our away from the canadian border, there we visited some friends in the Rome Office, the Sugarbush Mountain Resort and some other guys who gave us some information about Rails and Urban Stuff, but we just spent less time in Montpellier because it wasn’t too good and we wanted to continue to drive up to our last Destination upper North, Montreal. We spent the most of our time in Montreal because there was so much snow and good spots to hit with the snowboard. We also had a few pretty nice guys like JP and his friend in the Skateshop and Guilliome. Big props to those guys for helping us out so much and showing us around. But unfortunetly inbetween our Rail Sessions, great food experiances, Card Games and Sauna visits. Chris Patsch broke his wrist while hitting a Ledge in Montreal on his birthday... but we went out for party with him anyway this night, this evening was just amazeing weh ad such a good party with nice people, Champaign and a lot of Vodka. After our long time in Montreal our trip was going to end, all of us where pretty exhausted and really looking forward for a shower and a real bad so we left Montreal a day earlier and drove the down to New Jersey in on day to have our last day and night in New York again. Which was going crazy in the Annex. All in all, it was a great trip! In a few days I am leaving for another Isenseven Trip to Colorado, you can read how this trip is going to be in a few weeks. Keep watching my profile and I wish you a great March. T

Words: Gerhard Gross Images: David Rouleau

Friday the 15^th marked the beginning of the first annual Westbeach Chinese Downhill and an effort to reconnect with the spirit of shredding often lost in the myriad of publicly traded companies, profit margins and share-holder accountability that make up the current snowboarding landscape. Although all in the name of fun and beer drinking, a definite air of competitiveness was present amongst the 35 or so contestants vying for the title of fastest shred.

Westbeach's Dave Short and posse, pre mayhem gondy ride.

 

Notable attendees included, Shin Campos, Rube Goldberg, Kevin Sansalone, Jon Cartwright, Colin Adair, Ryan Tiene, Steph Just, Beau Bishop, Wiley Tesseo, Robjin Taylor and all the local shreds that made this event great. The rules were simple: first person to reach the Creekside Underground skatepark from the top of Million Dollar ridge and successfully finish a beer would win the affections of his peers and $500.

Weather? Dude it was epic...of course.

Brian Hockenstein and Robjn Taylor. Check out the polar opposites of emotions.

 

In the end it was a mix of veterans Kevin “Snacksie-pants” Sansalone and Shin “Getsu” Campos racing spring-chickens John Caulfield and Anthony Weglan to the finish line. Their shred skills had brought them to the bottom in a possible record time of 4 minutes 53 seconds but the contest was ultimately decided by the beer chugging skills of Shin. Who says professional snowboarding doesn’t teach valuable life skills?

A couple peaches in a big pot of dude stew, Alison Pesemko, Jenelle Pritchard, Steph Just. The only girls brave enough to roll up on this shi*t.

Can i get a lens wipe? Filmer Corey G's rig under attack from the elements.

 

Perhaps the best part, and the intended effect, was the sense of camaraderie felt by everyone there. It was a great reason for people who are often segregated by work and busy winter schedules to come together and snowboard for the sake of snowboarding. Thanks Westbeach, see you next year.

Don't f*cking film me....ok, ok, just one photo. Nitro, Billabong's Rube Goldberg, shunning the paparazzi

"CCHHHHYYYYYeah! I think i see Caulfield coming -over." Brocklebank on race patrol.

kind of smells like updog around here.

Gnarcore.com's Willey Tesseo and Beau Bishop with Lucas Ouellette.

The man, the myth the legend, gnarcore.com's John Caulfield accepting the "hey-you-tried" award from Cartwright... and talk about shnetworking, is that a business card exchange?....call me we'll do lunch.

DC Canada team manger Gerhard Gross and DC am Ryan Tiene may not have won the race but they won a spot in our hearts. "Its ok ryan, it's not all about winning, its about having fun... i love you man." they would later hug for an hour straight.

Looky, looky who we ran into. Annum's Ian Gauthier, with homie Matt Macneil and Stepchild's Eman Anderson.

Women, clothing, money and beer.......folks Westbeach is in the house.

 

When younger legs have you beat, it comes down to good old fashion beer drinking skills, Shin Campos...aka the Creekside King.

why did we cover this event?

gnarcore.com fully backs companies like Westbeach and any activities dedicated to preserving the soul of snowboarding.

Stay up for the video. coming soon to gnarcore.com.

Now go f*ck shi*t up.

 Powder king B.c. rocks!

First of all i want to thank my boss for having the great idea of bringing the hill crew to PK!!

So this is how two of my best days of shredding up to this point went down!

I got up on February, 7 ’08 at 4:00 in the morning, early but it was worth it, I loaded my things, then me and my sista --> Steph went down the crappy winter roads to our meeting spot. We unloaded then reloaded, and all 13 of us hoped into a suburban and two pickup's. And our four hour drive down the dark snowy roads started. At first it was pretty lame...just Nicole n' pat chatting about what ever. After a few hours or so we hit our first stop gas and washroom were we all met up aging and the cold air woke us up a little. Before we knew it we piled back in and got going. After a bit me and steph got a high (probably from lack of shut eye). We laugh out heads off and got wired looks but we didn't care it was a good time and before we knew it we rolled into B.C. And the sun finally got up. We did a few more stops on the way. The drive from chetwynd to PK was the longest.  Our energy was down and I was feeling sick. When we finally hit PK around 10 something it was windy, snowy and cold (-28 or so) but it didn't matter we were finally about to go shredding in some real pow for once! We all met up, grabbed our gear and headed for the snow covered chalet, it was the most snow id eva seen and I was loving it. The snow was up past the windows and the snow covered trees were really pretty. We got in the little chalet, suited up and got our lift. Then some of the locals from our hill back home (Dale, Remi n’ Lance) were just coming in to warm up so we all said hi and headed out.  Some of the group was already gone when me and steph got out. We headed out to the chair, and got on. Once on were started wondering were the rest of em’ were but we figured they had already made there way back down. It wasn’t long before we found out the they hadn’t made it back down when we spotted them all stuck in powder up to there waist and higher. While laughing at them and being amazed by how much snow there really was on the slopes, we got off the chair, strapped in and started on our way down but it wasn't long before we were stuck too. Looking around we seemed like the only new comers. People were laughing at us on there way up the chair but it was cool we were having a good time falling, flipping and whiping out like crazy! Then we heard some freaks laughing at us way louder than any one else wondering who was making fun of us so much we looked up and saw Dale, Remi and Lance being ever so kind, but it was funny lol. After about an hour plus and many shouts of “Are we there yet” we hit the bottom still laughing at our selves and each other. We didn’t care if people thought we sucked it was a good time. Back inside we were soaked and cold. After warming up a little and a bite to eat we ready to try again. By the end of the day we got the hang of it sure we were still falling but at least we could make it down in less than an hour lol. We packed our gear back into the trucks and headed to Mackenzie. Once in Mackenzie we checked into our hotel and went out for supper. Thinking the restaurant wasn't far we walked (half of us not wearing coats) but it was a little farther and colder then we all thought but we made it alive lol. Once back at the hotel Shantel invited the Dale, Remi and Lance over for a drink. Me, Steph, Pat, Eric, Amber, Traline, and Shantel hung out in one of the rooms. Some of us were bored so were started playing spoons until we got a noise complaint It wasn't even past 9:00! Then the guys showed and had some drinks, Lance did a card trick that confused everyone. Then Dale and Lance played tug war with a pillow which broke out into a pillow fight. Being a little too noisy we decided to move the party to the guys hotel were no one was staying. We all started heading out but we got told that we should stay at our hotel since it was almost midnight. But Steph and I weren’t ready to call it a night so we waited for the doors to be shut and headed out with the guys.  Once at there room we started playing guitar hero, (which I suck at lol) after a bit Remi decided to throw chocolates at everyone, so we all started chucked em’ at everyone while Dale and Steph were trying to play guitar hero, and Lance got some candy and tried to get them into everyone mouths failing of coarse lol. After that the best pillow fight ever broke out lasting probably over an hour and totally messing up the room. The sheets were off the mattresses in a big pile with the blankets, the mattresses were half off and the picture frames weren’t straight anymore and candy and chocolates spread all over the floor. Poor maid. Id love to see her reaction when she walked in tho like OMG WTF lol! Once we were all dead Dale drove me and Steph back. Now we were ready to doze. The next morning, the last shred day of the trip. The alarm went off at 6:00. Not feeling all that tired I got up and got my things together Steph got up little later and then we went down for breakfast. Once we finally got out of the dumb hotel it was getting late. We got at the hill about an hour after opening but it was cool tho because they were having problems with the lift earlier so we really weren’t that late. Once we got up the chair we went down and the snow was awesome! It was a little colder then the previous day, but the snow was great. After one run the gang was cold so they went in, but me and Steph kept going. After another run we went in were we met up with Dale, Lance and Remi and boarded with them the rest of the day (not doing to bad at keeping up for our second day in pow). We did some runs then lance spotted some nice pow between some trees and told dale that they should go through the trees and cut back across onto the trail. Dale went first, after we couldn't see him anymore we waited a bit, but he didn’t come back out so lance bailed and we went down a little and waited. After Lance yelled out his name, we hear Dale yelling who knows what. Then we finally saw him walking out from between the trees in pow up to his chest. Laughing our facess off, we waited for him to get to us moving about an inch per step. Once Dale took a little rest we headed back down. Going up the chair again Steph and I heard some retards singing behind us. We didn’t even need to look back we knew it was the guys, still laughing at them we got off the chair, then we went to the t-bar. Once at the top dale told us about were he wanted to go hiking, then we shredded back to the t-bar and repeated that a few more times. Before I knew it my time at PK was sadly already over and I had to head back home for work at our hill the next day. So we all said bye to PK and the guys who were staying till Sunday (lucky!!! lol)! On the way back we stopped at BP and had some ok food and a pretty good time. From BP to home Amber and I were either way over tired or there was something in our food lol cause we could not stop laughing and we were not making cense. We tried thinking of a genius idea on how we could move PK so it would be our local hill but sadly we got nowhere with that so we tried to think of excuses to go back to Powder King!

Miss Yah Powder King!
