PLENTY OF SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE ACTION AS THE TOUR CROSSES THE TASMAN4.08.2007

Less than two weeks after the TTR FIVE(5)STAR Burton New Zealand Open this week, the Tour crosses the Tasman for the Australian Tour stops. After a tragic cancellation of the scheduled Australian events last season due to a disastrous snow season, early season dumps have the snowfields pumping, conditions not an issue. Australia welcomes it’s first TTR FOUR(4)STAR event to Perisher Blue Resort, NSW, for the Garnier Fructis Australian Open over the 22nd to 26th of August.

Many of the International field participating in New Zealand are expected to make the 3-hour flight for the 700 TTR Ranking points up for grabs in the Slopestyle and Halfpipe formats. More information on the TTR FOUR(4)STAR Garnier Fructis Australian Open go to: www.opensnowboarding.com

Hot on the heels of the Garnier Fructis Australian Open is the testing TTR THREE(3) STAR, Stylewars 007 presented by Oakley in Falls Creek, Victoria, over the 27th August to 2nd of September. While Stylewars was unfortunately cancelled due to lack of snow last season, it holds a piece of history being the first Southern Hemisphere event to be accredited onto the TTR World Snowboard Tour in the 05/06 season. Any concerns about the limitations of creativity possible within the TTR Tour are dispelled as Stylewars 007 presented by Oakley runs a non-stop week of shredding action. Employing a Teams format battled out in different sessions on different features – to top this result list you need to be able to ride it all. Riders hunt for team titles and individually battle it out for the 550 TTR Ranking Points up for grabs.

Four different dates and three different formats, the Australian Junior Series offers the perfect testing ground and platform for the riders of tomorrow to test their wares while gaining international recognition on the TTR World Snowboard Tour Ranking list.
