Sixteen of the world's best snowboarders will converge on the East River Park to compete for pieces of a $100,000 purse. An entirely massive jump has been constructed, as well as the usual snowboard half-pipes, to accomodate the "jam session" format preliminary and final rounds of the competition. Olympic Gold Medalist Shaun White will be competing alongside Pat Moore, Travis Rice, Kevin Pearce, Mikkel Bang, Danny Davis, Kohei Kubo, Kazuhiro Kakubo, Terke Haakonsen, Andreas Wiig, Torstein Horgmo, Jake Blauvelt, Greg Bretz, Bjorn Lienes, and JJ Thomas. Local metal miscreants and all-around lunatics Anthrax will provide the musical landscape for the event.
Gates open at 2pm on February 5th, and the event will end sometime after the awards presentation, which is scheduled for 9pm.
