Farm Jam 2012 - with Unit BMX

Every year a pack of BMX and FMX stars head down south to the land of the Long White Cloud - that would be NZ - for the Farm Jam. It looks like a fun event and always produces loads of good footage. This year they got rained out, but that did not stop the Unit boys from riding hard!



Featuring Dew Tour winner Kyle Baldock, along with BMX dirt legends Mike 'Hucker' Clark, TJ Ellis, Jed Mildon, Andrew Ahumada and many more, the 2012 Unit Farm Jam went down recently in the deep south of New Zealand.

Presented by Unit Clothing, the Farm Jam is located on the picturesque Frew Farm. The Frew brothers have spent years carving the amazing one-of-a-kind dirt courses out of the rolling green hillsides that surround their family home, and love to invite riders from all around the world to experience it with them.

Imagine endless rolling hills, your own digging machinery, private fishing spots, bikes and a heap of good friends to share it with!

Take a trip with Kyle, Hucker, TJ and the rest of the crew as they let loose on the secluded farm. Not just a regular contest, the Farm Jam is an experience.

TTR Billabong Slopestyle at Super Park, NZ

Finnish snowboarder Roope Tonteri (FIN), 19, has defeated a field of more than 50 international riders to claim the Open Men's division of the Billabong Slopestyle 4Star TTR World Snowboard Tour event which wrapped up at Snow Park near Lake Wanaka, New Zealand yesterday.

The reigning European Open Champion dominated Qualifying on Friday and then did everything necessary on his first finals run to ensure the top-spot on the podium ahead of the USA's Sam Hulbert (USA), 2nd, and fellow Fin, Antti Autti (FIN), 3rd.

Tonteri's winning run included a frontside boardslide to front 360 tail tap, a back 900, a cab 900 and a backside 540 over the final feature dubbed the 'Monster Volcano'; a channel-gap nipple jump over a giant inflatable Monster Energy can.

The judge's score of 89.40 (out of 100) saw Tonteri walk away with 500 valuable TTR World Tour ranking points, $5,000 in prize money and a swag of prizes that included a state-of-the-art Nex5 Sony Camera.

Third placed Antti Autti (FIN), may only be 26, but joked about being the oldest guy in the finals. Autti decided to enter at the last moment, and found himself on the podium. Autti's best run consisted of a cab 900 nose grab, to frontside 1080 tail grab to frontside 720 over the Monster Volcano; with the 1080 being the first he'd pulled successfully in competition.



Two-time TTR World Champion Jamie Anderson left nothing to chance in the Open Women's, bagging yet another first place Slopestyle finish. Tw enty year-old Anderson is recognised as being at the forefront of women's slopestyle progression.

Isabel Derungs (SUI) finished 2nd with Jordie Karlinski (USA) in 3rd.

Queralt has been proving herself as a force to be reckoned with in the halfpipe and now she has landed the first TTR slopestyle podium of her career.

Cold Water Classic Wrap up - New Zealand

The land of the long white cloud. I had nothing but good times in New Zealand and really hope to go back. With the Rugby World Cup there this year it was probably a good move to have the Cold Water Classic, by O"neill, head there for the beginning of 2011.

Shaun Joubert was the highest placed of the Saffers, but it was the top ranked surfers from the tour who did the damage. Adam Melling, who narrowly lost to Jordy at Jbay last year, took the victory and a lead in the Cold Water Classic league, for the big paycheck of 50'000 Dollars.
