One of the few contests that still has sponsorship this northern winter, Red Bull’s Big Air in The Big Apple, is happening. Confirmed riders so far are Shaun White, Travis Rice, Eero Ettala, Dustin Craven, Kevin Pearce, Mikkel Bang, Danny Davis, Terje Haakonsen, Andreas Wiig, Torstein Horgmo, Jake Blauvelt, Bjorn Leines, JJ Thomas and more… Pat Moore that is (Zing!). It’s happening on Feb 5th and with a 90 foot-high ramp to an 80 foot-long spine, it is going to be pretty awesome to watch. We’ll have photos and footage of the event here when it happens. Thanks to TWBiz and the NY Times for the tip.
