Trespass Snowboardcross Championships and Slopestyle Jam The Trespass Snowboardcross Championships kicked off the snowboard competition on the Saturday morning with riders charging through the start gates and on into the head-to-head qualifying rounds, until only the fastest four male and female competitors were remaining. In the women’s final, Jules Chappell had the gold in her sights and accelerated out of the start gates, leading the entire race and over the finish line in first place, taking the 2008 Women’s Trespass Snowboardcross Title. Second place went to Jennifer Clarke with Riona Mary Peterson taking a close third. It was a tight race out of the start gates in the men’s final with all neck and neck until the first burm where three competitors spectacularly collided. The only kids men to make it through to the final, Tom Hunt, was quick to seize this opportunity and edged away from the pack to take the lead which he held through to the finish line to take the 2008 Men’s Trespass Snowboardcross Title, leaving Andrew Mackinnon and Gary Walsh to take second and third respectively. During the afternoon’s Slopestyle Jam, Jules Chappell scored her second win of the day after riding super smooth all session opting for switch boardslides on the gas pipe and the up-rail. Tom Hunt, who was fresh from taking the gold in the snowboardcross, was consistently spinning on and off the rails and doing a frontflip to nose bonk over the barrel to deservedly win the under 16’s category. Whilst consistent boardslide’s, 270’s on and 450’s off on the gas pipe and sweet butter 360’s to stall on the log, secured Jaime Nicholls the top spot in the men’s final.
