2008 Trespass Snowboard / Skiercross Championships and Big Air Jam. Trespass Snowboardcross ChampionshipsThe Trespass Snowboardcross Championships kicked off Saturday’s competition with riders, propelled by the intermittent rain, 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 Liz Osborne accelerated out of the start gates and over the finish line in first place to take the 2008 Women’s Trespass Snowboardcross Title. Second place went to Jo Brown with Becky Hammond taking a respectable third. The adrenaline was pumping in the men’s final with all four competitors confident they were going to be victorious. It was a tight race out of the start gates with local rider Jamie Debbage and Ben Knox jostling to take the lead. Jamie edged his way into first place and managed to hold onto the lead to take the 2008 Men’s Trespass Snowboardcross Title, leaving Ben Knox and Simon Rivera to take second and third respectively. During the afternoon’s Big Air Jam Liz Osborne scooped her second win of the day after she stomped a smooth backside 360 and cab 180. Ben Knox, who had been charging the kicker all afternoon threw down a selection of 720’s and a 900 to win the men’s jam, whilst Ryan Lewis’s consistent 540’s secured him top spot in the under 16’s age category.

Local skier Robbie Debbage, whose twin brother Jamie had won the Trespass Snowboardcross Championships the day before, was determined to make it a double Debbage celebration, launching out of the start gates to take the lead. Debbage didn’t look back and maintained his lead over the finish line to take the 2008 Trespass Skiercross Title.
