 British Snow Tour - Indoor Boardercross
 Oooh, the carnage. Get to the front and stay on your feet to be crowned indoor champion.
Trespass Snowboard/Skiercross Championships and Slopestyle Jam On Saturday 13th October over 300 competitors and spectators descended upon Milton Keynes SNO!zone for the Trespass British Indoor Snowboard / Skiercross Championships and Slopestyle Jam. Competition was fierce as riders went head-to-head in the four-way races, with some spectacular wipe-outs along the way. Over at the Trespass Learner Academy 100 beginners inspired by the high-speed action took advantage of the FREE lessons that were up for grabs.  Trespass British Snowboardcross Championships In the Trespass British Snowboardcross Championships, over 55 riders went through the start gates in heats of four with the top two qualifying into the next round until only the fastest four male and female competitors were remaining. In the Women’s final there was a crash out of the gates between Vickie Pullin and Charlotte Keirle, leaving the race for first and second place between Jules Chappell and Rebecca Cullum. Jules edged her way over the finish line first to take the 2007 Trespass British Snowboardcross title, whilst Rebecca who was hot on her heels came in second. After her earlier collision, Vickie dusted herself off and finished the race to take third. In the men’s final it was a tight race out of the start gates with boards and elbows touching resulting in a collision between hot favourites Harry Kingsley-Jones, Ben Knox and George Springfield. Riding away unscathed Gary Walsh took advantage and cruised home first to take the 2007 Men’s Trespass Snowboardcross Championship title, whilst first to his feet Harry, then Ben charged down the course to take second and third respectively. During the afternoon’s Slopestyle Jam, riders flexed their freestyle boards and demonstrated an assortment of technical rail and kicker lines. In the Kids Jam Tom Hunt impressed all to take the kids title with a huge 270 onto the street rail. The ladies where stepping it up in the Women’s Jam, with Samantha Rogers taking first with some smooth and consistent grinds, lipslides and an impressive 270 out on the box. Mixing it up on the rails in the Men’s Slopestyle Jam, Dean Horsfield took the men’s title, with a super clean and stylish, frontside noseslide 270 out, and a 270 on, switch up, 270 out, on the rails.

 Trespass British Skiercross Championships Just after lunch, the Trespass British Skiercross Championships got underway with 60 skiers charging through the start gates and on into the head to head qualifying rounds, with the hopes of being crowned the Trespass British Skiercross Champions. In the women’s final, Danielle Bosher, charged into the lead after the first turn to set the pace, with Kate Williams, Danielle Freeze and Helen Moore hot on her tail. Holding onto her lead, Danielle Bosher crossed the line in first place to take the title leaving second place for Kate Williams and third for Danielle Freeze. In the men’s final it was an extremely tight race, with all riders neck and neck throughout the entire course and all determined to take home the title. With serious fast action, no spectacular wipe-outs, and none of the competitors easing up on their fight to win, it was a photo finish with Angus Morrison flying across the finishing line first to take home the gold and the prestigious title. Split seconds later, James Woods followed to take the silver and on his heels was Billy Wilson who finished in third place. During the Slopestyle Jam, James Webb, Amber Connors and Harry Hancock set the standard linking together a variety of consistent and technical runs, resulting in them each winning the title for their age categories. James linked together a solid run which included a 450 on, 270 off, on the street rail and misty 720 over the kicker, whilst Amber hit every rail and landed a big 360 over the kicker.
