After a few years of overcast conditions, the NZ Snowboarder magazine Banked Slalom finally ran in clear viz through ‘Shooter’ or 3rd Pipe in the Treble Cone Saddle on Friday the 27th, with a huge thanks to Colin Boyd, Ryan Bluett and past champ Niels Ypelaar for setting a mean as course.
60 keen riders took it on, all agreeing it was one of the best ever, big name entrants included past champs Rebecca Sinclair, Abby Lockhart, Will Jackways and Niels Ypelaar… and past French Boarder Cross champion Antoine Blaizeau who eventually blitzed the field to take the Men’s crown…There was some debate over his winning time, but footage of his first run revealed a fall mid course…and even with that time, he beat Will Harris and Will Jackways into 2nd and 3rd respectively by around 2 seconds… His second run was off the scale at just over 50 seconds…SACRE BLEU!
In the women’s, it was once again Rebecca Sinclair who was in the money, showing her shred skills are definitely not limited to halfpipe and second place went to top contender Abby Lockhart. Long time local competitor Nick ‘Jobber’s Jobling put in a scorcher to secure the Masters over 35 crown and a shout has to go out to Kazu and the Japanese contingent, who traveled 27 hours from Tokyo to Wanaka, arriving at 11.00pm the night before…. huge effort, with 16 year old Yuki Kadano taking out the fastest junior time…
This comp was all about good times and that’s what went down. Everyone walked away with smiles…
The after party at MINT BAR saw lucky Englishman Will Hughes score the Capita Stairmaster 156 major spot prize and Niels Ypelaar lucked the free heli day from Harris Mountains..YEAH BOY!…..As the mega load of tees, sweatshirts and beanies got tossed, the free keg got drained and ILLFIGZ and NILESC spun the beats well in to the wee hours…cheers lads!
Big thanks to our sponsors CAPITA, UNION, NIXON, VZ, HARRIS MOUNTAINS HELI, POWERADE, MINT BAR, HUFFER, AND TREBLE CONE…see you all next year!
