Sprite series wraps up

The sun was extreme for the final two events of the Sprite Park Rider Series last weekend. There was a halfpipe and a slopestyle, and both had strong turnouts.

The sun was extreme for the final two events of the Sprite Park Rider Series last weekend. There was a halfpipe and a slopestyle, and both had strong turnouts.

All told there were nine events on the calendar this year, all of which were open to both skiers and boarders. Organizers and athletes had to cope with every weather condition conceivable, but got all of the races off. Whether you won or finished last it was always worth it, if only for the great draw prizes.

The sponsors gave away Oxygen snowboards and a Nentendo Gameboy at every event, and during the course of the year they chipped in a Nintendo GameCube, clothing from Nike ACG, helmets from ProTec, gloves from Kombi, CDs from Universal Music, and of course some schwag from Sprite.
