Brit Jenny Jones has got a great start to the new TTR world tour, winning the slopestyle at the Burton New Zealand Open and now ranking seventh overall. High wins caused the slopestyle finals to be cancelled, but final placings were decided from semi-final runs (which you can watch here). Her faultless run of a tailslide on the C Box, followed by a 50:50 180 out on the high bar followed by a backside three, followed by front side three and 50:50 on the final rail cinched her first place and US$5000 prize money. Last years TTR tour winner Torah Bright took fourth, and Claudia Fliri and Hana Beaman were second and third respectively. Fellow Brit Posy Dixon got a great 11th place finish.
