The Nikita Chickita Europe is back for the second year running, opening up yet another opportunity for girls only to take part in the chance to win a year’s contract with Nikita as a fully fledged team member.
The contest will be taking place on Saturday 5th April at Serfaus Park in Austria. There’s a special team of shapers who will be working hard to make the best course possible, maintaining it throughout the day. Should bad weather stop play, the contest will be held the following day.
It’s a fun open slopestyle contest for all female snowboarders. There are two categories including womens and juniors who will take part in one to three heats of 15-20 competitors. Each rider gets two runs with the best score taken into consideration. The best twelve riders selected and best six juniors will then go on to compete in the finals. At this stage there will then be four runs per competitor with the best two runs counting.
Three judges will be looking at style, versatility, technique and creativity when choosing the winners. The rider who does two, three or even four runs in the finals will get a higher overall mark from the eagle eyed judges.
The prize money for women’s category is 1000 Euros for 1st, 750 for 2nd and 500 for 3rd plus a contract on the coveted Nikita Team for the winner. Not only that but the top three women and juniors will get the exclusive and limited Nikita Ring! There are loads of goodies to be handed out, including on the mountain; the Nikita Chickita is certainly going to be a relaxed but competitive contest if last year’s event is anything to go by!

Update : 18th March
The Nikita Chickita will be bouncing back to Serfaus, Austria for another action packed weekend of girl’s slopestyle contest fun with a party thrown in!
Back in 2001/2002 Serfaus ski school and Markus Falch decided it would be great idea to establish a small slopestyle course. They started out with a 2m straight rail, a kinked rail and small kicker with a 1-2m table. The winter of 02/03 saw the park take shape where the course had been previously. The venture drew loads of support through Toasted and Bjarni Thor Valdimarsson, who worked the last couple of years of the Nikita Tour as head shaper of the Iceland Park Project. He came on board for the Nikita Chickita last year and until recently has built and shaped the park in Mayrhofen. With huge help from the cable railway in Serfaus they were able to build more and more rails and boxes.
The park in Serfaus is located close to the Plansegg lift at approximately 1900-2300m above sea level and is maintained daily. The rail park is approx. 700m long and sits at the higher end, leading with about twenty obstacles to the main park. The lower end of the main park is about 450m long and includes two medium kickers, two XL kickers, one stair setup with a kinked box and down rail. The main park is being rebuilt this week ready for the Nikita Chickita! More details to follow…….
A few of Nikita’s own team riders will be coming along to take part in the event and let loose at the party which will be held at the Bam Bam bar. A great chance to say hello, get some tips and ride with them.
It’s also just been confirmed that Nikita team rider Julia Baumgartner along with Atikin bro team rider Vinzenz Lueps AKA Vinz will be two of three judges at this year’s event. Strap in ladies and have the ride of your lives! As a refresher, here’s what’s up for grabs:

1st: 1000 Euros, 1 year contract with Nikita, Skullcandy swag, Nikita Ring and Swag
2nd: 500 Euros, Skullcandy Swag, Nikita Ring and Swag
