12/11/04 - 18.00 - technical & style jumps

Welcome to Nokia Air & Style Snowboard Festival 2004

In the technical part (no limit of rotations) the enthusiatic crowd saw backside 720s combined with frontside railslides, cab 720 and 900 over the big kicker, cab 360s or backside rodeo 540s at the small one, switch backside 720 flying through the night followed by switch backside 540. Amazing!

Nicolas Müller impressed with his style just in the technical round and Shaun White demonstrated rail tricks followed by a huge grabbed backside 720 over the main kicker and a frontside 720 stalefish in the Funpark.

The "Style" Session (turns to 540°) was dominated by switch backside 540s, frontside grabs, backside inverted 360 by Müller and the famous one-footer of Friedl Kolar.

Perfect performances of all 16 riders - but there were only 5 slots for the superfinals: really a difficult decision for the 4 judges! The snowboarding-break was filled by the German Reggae band "Gentleman", grooving in the Casino Arena.
