Loved the TTR's warm up, qualifications and finals videos from the Roxy Chicken Jam Europe 2010 in Saalbach Hinterglem but felt that you only saw a flash of actual snowboarding? After years of being frustrated by the lack of footage available online, the TTR have cottoned on and released the full runs from the all-female contest's finals.

There's a video each from Kjersti Ostgaard BuaasCheryl Maas and Enni Rukajärvi - all riding smooth through the Austrian resort's night park, plus a pretty amusing behind the scenes skit from visiting californian Oakley rider Chanelle Sladics, which is pretty You've Been Framed worthy.

Watch the video trio in full after the jump...

The most fun, progressive all female snowboard contest on the planet The Roxy Chicken Jam Europe - sorry US readers! - wrapped up last weekend in new location Saalbach Hinterglem, Austria. 

With improved access for the public and weather conditions, the all star contestant line up - talented groms like the UK's Aimee Fuller and Norway's Silje Norendal, to contest vets like Lisa Wiik - threw down tasty hammers throughout. 

After qualifications and semi finals, a heated final saw four of the planet's smoothest freestylers battle for a podium spot: Kjersti Ostgaard Buaas, Cheryl Maas, Sarka Pancochova and Enni Rukajärvi.

Find out who won and watch videos of the entire event after the jump...

TTR snowboard contest Roxy Chicken Jam Europe starts Friday!

roxy_chicken_jam_saalbach_hinterglem.jpg

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.
