Travis Rice (USA) wins at the probably best Nokia Air & Style ever
In front of a record-breaking crowd of 27.500 enthusiastic spectators Travis Rice (24USA) prevailed and won against Risto Mattila (25FIN), Antti Autti (21FIN) and Munich local David Benedek (26GER). His winning jump was a Double Backflip 180 followed by a Cab 540. From the beginning of the competition, the world´s best snowboarders outbalanced each other with first class jumps – a level not seen before.
In the Freestyle Motocross competition, the 18-year-old Wiley Fullmer (USA) won the final against Beau Bamburg (USA).
The Snowboarder Rookie Challenge and with it a starting position in the main field of next year´s Air & Style was won by Mikkel Bang (16NOR).
Andrew Hourmont, founder and organiser of the Air & Style “We are proud to have set a new all time visitor record with 27.500 spectators at the Air & Style in its second year in Munich. Both snowboarders and FMX-riders were fantastic, so were the bands. The spectators were also enthused by the new setup. I think the Olympic Stadium has not seen such a party very often in the past. And we will really try to make an effort to beat tonight’s event with the Nokia Air & Style 2007 in December 2007.
