Elena Hight Dominates the first two events in the Grand Prix Series!

With a third place finish Elena proved today that she is no doubt a serious contender for the US Olympic Team placing 2nd in the halfpipe event. She is the second highest ranked female halfpipe rider in the series. Elena qualified in 1st with her"safety" run, Method, nose grab, b/s 540, f/s 720, cab 720 to frontside air. In the finals she threw down! Method to f/s 900, b's 540, f/s 720, cab 720 and ending it with a solid frontside air. There are still three events left in the series and although Elena is stoked on her placings so far she's aiming for that 1st place finish! I have no doubt she' ll do it!

**************ANOTHER HARD PIPE HIT************** Youth drained ex-amatuer snowboarder

At the recent Oakley premier in Irvine this week, JP Walker was aproached by a strange looking man that came up from behind and tried to put his arm around him. As JP turned around he was startled by what he saw and blurted out "get the fuck away from me." At that exact same moment Sean Kearns immediatley dove in and strong armed the man away from JP. It was just moments later that JP and Sean realized it was Nate Bozung trying to squash a beef between himself and JP. Fortunatley for Nate the situation would have probably ended worse if JP and Sean had recognized who he was from the begining. Someone was later overheard saying "that guys doesn't know how close he came to dying" to which someone else replied "death couldn't be worse than looking like that!" Check the photo, Damn!
