Still Got It.

Even as a team manager Chris Boadle can still get coverage. This image turned up in one of the major papers to promote the Boost SnoSho event. I wonder if he will invoice himself for incentives?

Down Day In Manly

Mikkel Bang, Mark Sollors, Marko Grilc and Charles Reid landed in Sydney over the weekend. After a night out on the town the boys joined up with Nick " Pistol " Gregory, Chris Boadle and Russell Holt for a down day in Manly which consisted of a late breakfast, surf checking, jump rock and finally a couple of quiet beers at the Wharf Bar. The crew are heading to Falls Creek today for Stylewars and then to the Boost SnoSho at Perisher on Friday.

Jump Rock Set Up.

Behind The Scenes Of The Cattleman's Rail Jam Part 2

The Cattleman's rail is the main access way to the lifts at Mt Buller therefore it is a huge effort by the resort and park staff to shut it down and start the build for the event. The stairs are shut from midday with an event kick off at 6pm

Just before kick off and all credit to the park staff.

Chris Jepson has been on the mic from the start back in 2006

Judges for the event Russell Holt editor of Transfer magazine and Shane Carter Burton Australia brand manager.Chris Jepson and Paul from SITW where also on the judging panel for the event.

The park stuff worked during the event making sure the set up held up during the contest and the very difficult weather conditions.

Jye Kearney was riding with a radio mic, it will be interesting to hear that audio.

The judges form, notice the number of landed tricks from Robbie and Jye (1 & 3).


Of course what rail event is complete without a double backflip.

Results:
1st Robbie Walker
2nd Jye Kearney
Best Trick Mikey Williams (50/50 Kink)

Cattleman's is done for another year and all involved give yourself a high five and get ready for next year.

Good Times Go Bad

Everyones favorite Burton rep Shirvo did not have the best morning. While riding with Nick Gregory and Mitch Allan (who sent us these exclusive iphone pics) Shirvo fell on a rock just under the snow and snapped his femur. To make matters worse the ski patrol thought it was just a dislocated hip and tried to yank it back into place.

We all wish Shirvo a fast recovery so that he is back riding in no time.

Nick And De Campo Riding Mt Buller

The day before the Cattleman's rail event a large posse of riders rode Mt Buller. The crew was made up of people who keep the wheels turning at Burton HQ here in Australia. Joining the crew was Nick Gregory and Chris De Campo, they came along and reminded everyone why they get the title of team rider.

Rolling deep in numbers.

Full chairs all the time.

Chris Boadle Trigger Movie Part

2007 Trigger Bros Team Movie - Chris Boadle from POP Magazine on Vimeo.

He may now sit behind a desk more than on a chair lift but Burton Australia marketing guy Chris Boadle still can ride. Here is Chris getting work done in his 2007 Trigger Brothers movie part.

Mitch And Another Cover Shot

This time the cover of a Milo cereal box, unfortunately the photo is a few years old as it was taken when Mitch Allan was hanging out with some other types. All the images are a couple of season old in the mini magazine so it should give a couple of yesterday pros a chance for one last incentive cheque.

Mitch also got the poster. This photo was taken at the Open qualifiers at Falls Creek in 2005 by Sean Radich, at least we got background props.

This double page photo features the now Burton Australia team manager and marketing guy Chris Boadle at Bear Mountain.


Just when you thought he was gone Max Cookes with one last sequence published.

Make sure you keep an eye out for Mitch and his Milo cover the next time you are doing a food shop.

A Quick NZ Trip

There was a Twitter sneak peek at the trip a couple of the crew from the office took to New Zealand last week for some early season turns and a party. The guys hit up both Mt Hutt and Ohau and scored blue skies and fresh powder to wake up their snowboard legs from a long summer of surfing.

Mt Kosciusko 2nd May 09

While the crew in Victoria got their early season game on at Mt Buller and Baw Baw, Burton Australia rep Andy Kirkwood and his friends took a hike out to Mt Kosciusko for a few turns.

Is it really only just May?

First Tracks In April

Burton Australia Brand Manager Shane Carter and friends made the effort to earn some very early season turns. They hit up Mt Baw Baw and with the help of their two legs and a snowmobile they rode powder in April.

Now if you are in Victoria get your wax iron out because Mt Buller is going to open this weekend so you to can get your snowboard fix. Lift tickets are only $20 and all the information you need can be found at www.mtbuller.com.au.
