The New Snowflex Series is in Town!
After
5 years of organising successful competitions at Halifax, organisers AKA's Wayne
Taylor and Halifax's Gary Pickburn have set their sights on creating the UK's and Europe's first Snowflex Championships.
The
championship will consist of three competitions covering the length and breadth of the UK, and will culminate at
the new French Snowflex slope at the Loisinord Stadt de Glise in Noeux-les-Mines, France in October 2007.
Several sponsors have been approached to support the series including Option
Snowboards and Movement Skis and of course the Snowflex team.
On offer is the chance
for the best un-sponsored riders to win a trip to Dragon Lodge. They
will ride with the guys from Option and Movement and at the end one
snowboarder and one skier should get a sponsorship deal.
The
competition series will kick off in Halifax in
May and will close in a grand finale at the Loisinord Stadt de Glise in Nœux Les
Mines in France in October
2007.
The dates
for all the competitions are as follows:
Halifax
- Saturday 26th May 2007
Warmwell
- Saturday 16th June
2007
Bearsden
- Saturday 28th July 2007
Nœux Les
Mines - Saturday 20th October
2007
If the
competition that was held at Nœux Les Mines last year is anything to go by then
this should be a spectacular series that will attract the very best in freestyle
skiing and snowboarding from all around Europe
and in turn this will attract thousands of
spectators!
