So, now The Arctic Challenge 2010 is over. I had a great four days in Oslo during the event shooting for Playboard Magazine. Bluebird, great people and lots of sick riding!
On Thursday it was the official opening followed by a rail jam on Rådhusplassen in downtown Oslo. Sixteen year old Canadian Mark McMorris claimed first, followed by Norwegian ripper Jessi Blackwell in second (Next Production represent!).
On friday it was time for practice in Wyller-løypa (slopestyle), and I had nothing to do, so we just chilled out and had a great dinner at a friends friend place.
On Saturday it was time to kick off the semi-finals, and I was there to get some photos. It was a great day with great weather and the riding was off the hook! Peetu Piroinen qualified first in Heat 1 in front of Seppe Smits in second and Torstein Horgmo in third. Heat 2 was won by Mikkel Bang, followed by Tore Holvik and Eric Willett. Woho! Three Norwegians in the finals!
It's Sunday and time for the finals!
It seemed like everybody had a hard time in the first two runs, but in run three everyone ripped that course apart! It looked like Torstein was gonna take it home for a while with Mikkel Bang following close behind, but in the very end Peetu Piroinen landed his run perfectly and secured first place both at The Arctic Challenge 2010 plus the overall TTR Tour title! That guy knows how to ride a snowboard!
So, check out the pictures! More pictures to be seen at the Playboard website.
