By the time you read this, the Burton Open pipe quailfying would have started, but it doesn’t matter becuase continuing on from the madness that was the Boost Sno Sho, you can still see a who who’s of world snowboarding if you’re around Perisher over the next 4 days. Confirmed riders at the Burton Open include Hannah Teter and JJ Thomas, Mason Aguirre, Danny Davis, Kevin Pearce, Keir Dillon, Luke and Jack Mitrani; and practically the entire DC AM team including Ryan Tiene, Andrew Geeves, Kimmy Fasani, Raewyn Reid, Lonnie Kauk, Torstein Horgmo and Chas Guldemond. Australia’s represented by the likes of Jye Kearney, Scottie James, Erin Tanner, Clint Allan and Robbie Walker. There is supposed to be a webcast on www.go211.com sometime later in the week, I’m looking into a way of stealing the stream to play it on POP, I’ll keep you updated.
