Papasteeze Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 I caught wind of this, now it is official. Wish there was one here in the East. October 27, 2006 The NorAm committee has decided to make the halfpipe events at US Selection Events a FIS and NorAm event. The NorAm halfpipe events are open to anyone who has a USSA membership, a FIS license and meets the FIS minimum age requirement (must be born on or before 12/31/91). The addition of these two NorAm halfpipe events means there will be an official NorAm tour and NorAm grand prix champion. The mogul, aerial and dual mogul event is still an invitational USSA event. The Halfpipe NorAm tour will consist of: 12/18- Park City Halfpipe 12/19- Park City Halfpipe 2/9- Tamarack, ID Halfpipe For complete registration and schedule information please visit www.boardfrenzy.com or the USSA webs site.

Papasteeze Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Posted October 28, 2006 FIS Hope you can do 1080s. is that what the FIS skier halfpipe has also evolved to? I know that is the big thing with riders. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 is that what the FIS skier halfpipe has also evolved to? I know that is the big thing with riders. FIS judges are a joke and every FIS event is notoriously spin-to-win. FIS has nothing to do with snowboarding and it shows. Imagine '999 judging a pipe contest. Welcome to FIS competiton. P.S. If I remember correctly they banned Chad Otterstrom from competition for taking his prescribed ADD mediation. WTG FIS. Quote

WTG FIS. amphetamines, no doubt, LOL! I get what you are saying interesting how that announcement came out after the USSA membership deadline, fortunatly I renewed nips ussa registration. Last year the same gripes were loud and clear on the European circuit. If the half pipe events ever come east we will suppport it, nips is a spinner, but at the same time he is cognizant of developing his own style. Quote
