Ally Hickman has claimed Australia’s first medal of the Park & Pipe Junior World Championships in New Zealand, finishing third in today’s Snowboard Slopestyle final.
Snow Australia is excited to announce it will host two Park & Pipe National Judging Clinics, at the National Snowsports Training Centre (NSTC) in Jindabyne during August.
August marks a big month in the Park and Pipe world with the Buller Slopestyle and Big Air events kicking off on the 12th and 13th respectively. These events will be a great chance to see all the talent our discipline has to offer and what new skills and tricks they have worked on to showcase.
Recently we caught up with Australian Park and Pipe judge, Adam Begg, who told us about his story and how he fell in love with judging, making the transition from a competitor into an Olympic judge.
Begg has been involved in the snowsports industry for over 30 years. He said he has always “lived and breathed snowboarding”, but his passion for judging came as a surprising consequence of a severe snowboard injury.
Snow Australia are excited to announce the inaugural Park and Pipe JNR Series, which will include the Buller Slopestyle and Big Air events in August, along with the Australian Junior Freeride Championship (AJFC) Big Air and Slopestyle events, planned to be held at Perisher.
Some of the most-talented skiers and snowboarders in the country came together earlier this month for the much anticipated Park & Pipe Pathway Airbag Camp at the National Snowsports Training Centre.
The season is almost underway in what promises to be an exciting year for the development of Park and Pipe.
