Although I don’t have photo’s yet, I do have the results. Robbie Walker won easily (one person said, it looked like he didn’t even break a sweet!), with Mikey and Tom getting equal second after they both stomped a super gnarley 50-50 to transfer from the balcony rail to the stair set! Jason Maxfield also landed a hammer with a 50-50 to flat from the balcony rail. Jye Kearney got best trick with a 50-50 on the balcony to lip slide transfer and won a mini bike for it! We will have photo’s as soon the internet gets turned on at Mt Buller…Damn it Dave, if you’d got those fucking iPhone’s, then we wouldn’t have this problem. I don’t care if you got hit by that dude who was riding a motor cycle, lying down and texting all at the same time.

UPDATE: I have photos now. There are a bunch below the cut and even more coming. All photos thanks to Dan Himbrechts.
UPDATED FOR A SECOND TIME, SO TWO TIMES UPDATED: Even more photos below!
Alex ‘The Russian’ Kutaysov. So smooth all night (oh and nice cinematic shot Dan!).
Erin Tanner. She was gutsy later in the night with a gap-to 50-50.
Robbie Walker. He just nailed it all night with tech tricks and style. I swear he didn’t look like he was trying.
Mikey Williams. Probably the most entertaining snowboarder in Australia right now. Enough balls for two men. Gap-to cab 270 back lip. Sweet.
Mikey Williams
Tom Pelley was first to the 50-50 transfer. It blew minds!
Robbie 1st, Mikey & Tom equal second and Jye Kearney best trick.
Robbie SkyWalker
Andy Lloyd was impressive. Some sweet blunt 270’s.
Alex ‘The Russian’ Kutaysov
Toga scored the wildcard and made it count.
Andy Lloyd again.
TP back 80 out.
Benny Willick was the best dressed contestant.
ATR again.
TP once again.
Mitch Williams impressed me the most. He didn’t hit every rail, but the one’s he did he had on lock. The best nose-press and switch nose press I’ve seen done in an Australian contest. Same goes for his back 80 half cab out. Oh and he easily took the heaviest beating all night.
Mikey Williams.
Benny Wilick.
Jason Maxfield was consistent and showed why he deserved to be there.
Mikey, the home favorite.
Andy Lloyd.
Erin Tanner with that gap-to 50-50 I mentioned. Yeah guurrrl!
Robbie Walker. Holy shit. How’s Chris and I in the background?! Yep, that just happened.
Jye Kearney giving the crowd what the crowd wants. ‘Do a back flip!!’
Andy Lloyd once again owning it.
Same as Mikey…
Jye Kearney, Nick Wood (who had a pretty heavy fall) and Chris Decampo.
Alex Kutaysov and Mitch Williams.
Mikey and Tom splitting the second place cash whilst Jye, in the background, went home with a motor bike for best trick.
If you haven’t been here, you haven’t really experienced Buller. Hall of fame.
