The Rip Curl Freeride Pro presented by Redken saw Ryan Tiene and Boen Ferguson take-out first place in their divisions, claiming their share of the $25,000 prize money.

Boen Ferguson’s hopes were realized today “There’s $3,500 in prize money so it’d be nice to win”.

With early morning storms looming, event organizers decided to move the event to mid-mountain, but as the first competitor hit the course the sun broke through the clouds, making it a spectacular day at Thredbo.

The Thredbo events & park team worked through the night, and pulled together a fantastic course with a rail, two fifty-foot jumps and 1 hip jump to finish.

As expected, the Open Men’s Ski & Snowboard divisions showcased some great Australian and International talent. Leading the ratings after Day 1 are:

Rip Curl Himalaya Search presented by Sprite: Day 13 - Back in Kathmandu

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 10:50:33 -0700

Two weeks ago, 4 riders from the Rip Curl Team left to go and experience an unforgettable adventure on top of the world. Snowfall has been particularly scarce in Europe this winter. This is why Baptiste Collomb-Patton, Darius Heristchian, Chris Booth and Per Loken decided to go in search of snow in Nepal and ride one of Annapurna’s most glorious slopes, to live their Search. There’s surely nothing better than riding virgin slopes with an abundance of fresh powder snow. Add to that the discovery of a mystical region and the chance to come face to face with a faraway culture.
