TTR World Snowboard tour: Torah Bright on double corks, Dakides & coachbrother Benny

TorahBrightSnowboarderTTRWorldSnowboardSeriesDoubleCorkHalfpipeOlympics.jpg
Ok, so this all over the internet already, but despite (or maybe because of?) her girl-next-door, super nice persona, Torah Bright is a focused, tough as nails machine, who's smashing boundaries in snowboarding right now - as shown in this video from the Swatch TTR World Snowboard tour

The aussie Salt Lake City local, personifies progression in snow sliding - with Olympic golds, TTR World Tour and Burton Open Series titles under her belt. Torah also had time to marry the rather talented backcountry shredder (and, sorry, pretty fit) Jake Blauvelt last year too. And she's not even 25. Wow. 

Watch and learn as Ms Bright chats about being inspired by Tara Dakides and Victoria Jealouse in Standard Films, motivation, stomping the double crippler, and her special relationship with coach/brother Benny after the jump... (just don't pick a fight with Torah Bright)

Superpost: Sista Sessions snowboard contest catch-up in Mayrhofen

sista_sessions_all_female_snowboard_contest_in_Mayrhofen_austria.jpg

A couple of weeks ago I was at one of the funnest contests I've had the pleasure of attending since the French all-female comp Intergirlaktik sadly called it quits: the Sista Sessions in Mayrhofen, Austria. Super mellow, encouraging and supportive, the event was sponsored by Skull Candy, Billabong and Vans, and organised by TTR PR Whizz Viola Burnett. 

Read full report, see images & watch the event video after the jump...

SUPERPOST: Paulina & Enni win the Burton European Open slopestyle & pipe

Burton_european_open_BEO_Enni_Rukajarvi_Paulina_Ligocka_slopestyle_halfpipe_winners_2010_laax.jpg

Last weekend, Europe's biggest snowboard competition - The Burton European Open - wrapped up in Laax, Switzerland with some surprising results. Part of Burton's Global Open Series of contests, the BEO usually attracts some of snow sliding's biggest athletes. But with hardcore training for the upcoming Vancouver Olympics underway, plus the lucrative Dew Tour rolling through the US, quite a few of of the states-based riders (including Jamie AndersonJenny Jones) hadn't made the annual pilgrimage across the atlantic.

That didn't stop the BEO being any less progressive: less than a week after her win at the prestigious Roxy Chicken Jam contest, Finnish super talent Enni Rukajärvi topped the podium once more on Friday at the Slopestyle event, followed by her fellow Roxy team rider Paulina Ligocka in the pipe event on Saturday.

Roxy Chicken Jam Europe: Kjersti Buaas, Cheryl Maas and Enni Rukajarvi tricks & wrap up

roxy_chicken_jam_2010_tricks_saalbach_sarka_buass_sladics_maas.jpg

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...
