TTR snowboard contest Roxy Chicken Jam Europe starts Friday!
The biggest all female snowboard event begins tomorrow with an all new location and schedule, as the 6star TTR Roxy Chicken Jam (European Leg) contest gets underway in Saalbach Hinterglem.
From January 8 to 10, global female pro snowboarders will be shredding the night park in Saalbach Hinterglem for the jam's seventh edition. It's a big change from the glacier location of Kaprun, Austria of recent years - which, with the event being held early season often suffered from lack of snow or high winds, and the high altitude meant spectator numbers were often small - this year the park is just 200 metres away from the village.

OUT NOW: As If, And What? first European female skate film
It's here!! After a whole summer of anticipation, Jenna Selby's tour de force - Europe's first all female skate film As If, And What? - is finally available to buy. Just in time for those last minute (or belated?) Christmas present requests.
I went to the premiere in London a few weeks ago and the standard of riding is insane - London teenagers Sam Bruce and Helena Long both stand out with their fearlessness, style and looking like they're absolutely loving it 24/7. UK legend, Lucy Adams easily sticks the most incredible part of the film too - showing what professionalism, focus, skill and determination can achieve with the best part ever laid to film by a European rider.
There's so many highlights: Sue Hazel's appearance from retirement is brilliant - all old school street skating, vintage competition footage and retro mini ramp sessions. There's also some huge and incredible vert ramp aerial skills - accompanied with a huge grin, tonnes of stylish street sections and some British comedy moments to match.
Keep reading to watch the first section teaser and for info on how to buy..

Jamie Anderson breaks records at the Breck Dew Tour
I was going to post a wrap up on the Winter Dew Tour results from the Breckenridge stop last night, fresh from twitter (thanks to @leannepelosi, @fueltv, @ChanelleSladics, and @susiefloros), but thought some details would be much meatier.
The facts you probably know: Jamie Anderson won the Slopestyle, followed by super positive Czech star Sarka Pancochova, and Britain's own Jenny Jones.

NOW ON: London Freeze music & snowsports festival
The UK's biggest snowsports and music festival is back for 2009, as Freeze returns to London's Battersea Power Station from today until Sunday November 1. In it's second year, the 2009 event once more hosts a stop of the LG Snowboard FIS World Cup, and International Freeski competition, as well as the snowboard-only Battle Of Britain today. Each evening then continues with a massive music line up, in addition to the apres bars, parties and retail village set up to give Battersea it's own mini ski resort - kicking off the evening with the TUACA Off-Piste DJ battle at the Canadian alcohol brand's own bar, as three snowboarder-cum-turntablists tussle it out for the best tunes.
