Another awesome day of snowboarding went down at Quiksnow 2012. The Afriski Park was the perfect playground for the Pro Mens Final. Defending Champion, JoJo Krivec was in amazing form, considering he has just come off 5 months of injury, to win the competition. Marcin Jekot fought off the youngsters to once again be the SA Slopestyle Champion. His sister, Marta, once again won the ladies and new kid on the block, Jan Linze Veenstra took down the Freeski title. Enjoy the video and get to Afriski!

Quiksnow Preview 2012

That's right kiddies, the most mayhem filled weekend of the year is upon us! Snow, altitude sickness, boarding, airs, rails, booze and crazy antics are on the way for Quiksnow 2012. Since 2005 this event has ruled the roost as the most fun Action Sports event of the year. judging by the pictures i have been seeing of the Park at Afriski, this is going to be a stellar year, with all of the top SA riders attending, some crazy new junior riders and of course the usual mix of international chargers that make the trip out to the Southern Tip of Africa. I will be there to bring you all the mayhem first hand!

In the meantime enjoy the teaser for this year, which I just made!

Southern Tip Snowboarding - Winter is almost here...

Yes happy snow fans of the deep south of Africa, summer draws to a close and the winter approaches. Judging by the last few winters and the insanely hot summer, I am calling a winter of dumps and Pow! So to get you into the mood, here is a great little edit from last year's Quiksnow SA Champs, by our man, Lebo. I cannot recommend enough, how good Afriski has become and what a great time can be had at the Quiksnow weekend. Book soon, places are minimal.
