looks like its going to be a sick comp.. park is awsome and big. check footy from the burton euro open if you want check it out. but im sure they are going to change it again, hopefully

 

[ValPow]

gonna be such a sick event, laax arguably has the best park in europe. Good rider list as well

 

[Matty_C]

that rider/discipline list must be wrong- jon competing in pipe? the finns not in pipe? seems very unlikely to me.

anyways, i hope this event goes down well

 

[Meisi]

the list should be correct, as it comes from the offical site.

try to insert the list once more, hopefully i turns out better:

http://www.orage.com/europeanopen

Heats #3 and #4 results should be online within the hour (they are still running). Photos/videos coming later tonight, and Jeff Schmuck is writing an update as we speak. Aside from the skiing highlights, this was probably the first-ever slopestyle where part of the course was taken out by an avi! More to come...

 

[jKutcher]
