Peetu Piiroinen and Enni Rukajärvi Win Burton European Open SlopestylePosted by: medo in BEO, Contests, TTR
Finnish riders Peetu Piiroinen (21 years old) and Enni Rukajärvi (19 years old) were the big winners of an exciting slopestyle finals up on Crap Sogn Gion today. Peetu claimed his 3rd BEO title today; while Enni secured her first win at the BEO. Both earned US$ 15.000 prize-money, 8.000 BGOS points as well as 1.000 TTR points. Mikkel Bang (NOR) and local rider Sina Candrian (SUI) took second and Gerjmund Braaten (NOR) and Sarka Pancochova (CZE) rounded out the podium.
In a high-class competition, Enni Rukajärvi took victory at the 7th Roxy Chicken Jam 2010 at Saalbach Hinterglemm. At the world’s biggest snowboard event for girls only, the 19-year-old Finn won over double Roxy Chicken Jam champ Cheryl Maas (NED) and Norwegian Kjersti Buaas Oestgaard who took second and third. The leader of the Swatch TTR Women’s ranking list Sarka Pancochova (CZE) ended up in fourth.
The Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam took place on Dachstein glaicer for the seventh time. This year again the contest was a Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour 4 Star Event. The audience got their money’s worth, everything from heavy fog to bluebird sky and more than enough wind to mess up anybody’s day. But weather conditions didn’t stop 70 men and 20 women from showing some awesome runs. Huge airs, big spins and double “everything” combinations. And not to mention the parties in the evening where it all went completely crazy.
This year the Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam owns the pole-position among freestyleevents and is ready and waiting for the starting signal. Due to the optimal snow conditions, the Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam Set-Up can already be shred and the foundation for another first rate TTR 4 Star Competition is laid.
