The British World Cup Halfpipe, Snowboardcross and Freestyle Teams continued to achieve great results over the weekend when they competed in two World Cup events in Canada and the USA and an FIS Slopestyle event in Slovenia.

The British World Cup Halfpipe Team

Ben Kilner, Sam Cullum and Dan Wakeham competed in the seventh World Cup Halfpipe competition of the season on the 28th – 29th February in Calgary, Canada. The 22ft Superpipe, which was bullet proof due to the chilly and cloudy weather conditions, didn’t prevent the team from linking together and landing technical and lofty runs. After the competition Leo Addington, World Cup Halfpipe Coach commented “The guys were riding really well and Ben Kilner’s run, which included; back to back 720s, frontside 540 and a frontside 900 was his best landing competition run this year”

Results
Ben Kilner – 23rd place (pictured)
Dan Wakeham – 32nd place
Sam Cullum – 34th place
