Dear Dragon lovers,

Last weekend I went up to Snow Park to cheer on team-mate Jay Walsh who was competing at the Indiana Jones and Terrain Park of Doom junior snowboard slopestyle.

The Dragon team rider and 2010 NZ rookie of the year was the Junior of the Day taking out the rookie division as well as the overall prize gaining a wild card entry into the Burton Open Slopestyle.

“It was real fun today. I really liked the course set up and I loved the first jump,” Jay said, who’s winning run included a front 7 and back 9.

“We saw great progression from the groms to the rookies today. We’re looking forward to seeing Jay shred at the Open Slopestyle in early August," Joel Nichol from Burton NZ said.

Check out Jay slaying the course below:

The next month is going to be busy for the NZ Dragon team.. rumour has it some of the boys will be heading over to Australia for Style Wars, Burton Open is soon, as well as the Billabong Ante Up, and Winter Games.

Look out for more NZ snow adventures.

Bye for now,

Charlotte Trundle
