Why come up with something new when you can copy and paste something you’ve written a few months earlier? When the Transitmies teaser came out last year we said this:

“Matteo Maggi put his magic Italian hands on a new Coldfocus film project called Transitmies, which in Finnish means something like Ford Transit Men who try to kill themselves over the gnarliest handrails you’ve seen in a long time. The flick features the relentless riding of Juha Blid, Tomi Passi, Stefano Bergamaschi, Antti-Juhani Piirainen, Ali Toppinen, Stefano Benchimol, Tapani Viitala, and Pyry Lepistö.”

And now they just started releasing the full parts from this often overlooked gem of a flick. They kicked things off with Stefano Bergamaschi, and now they uploaded Jonne Heinonen and Ali Toppinen’s full parts.

What? You haven’t seen Stefano Bergamaschi’s part yet? Here you go:

The Burn River Jump is set to go off in a couple of hours, but to keep you ticking over till then we can bring you young American ripper Eric Willett checking the course at practice yesterday. Setup looks sick!

Watch the action LIVE on burnriverjump.it. Hopefully the stream isn’t as bad tonight as it was yesterday…

The TTR 5star Burn River Jump is coming back to the Swatch Mottolino Snowpark this weekend, February 22nd-25th, 2011.

And pilgrimaging to the land of pasta and pizza will be Swiss talent Christian Haller, currently World N.6 of the TTR World Ranking, Norwegian rookie Ståle Sandbech, as well as locals Giorgio Ciancaleoni and Marco Grigis, to name just a few.

Together with many more eager shred heads, they will battle it out on the 4 huge kickers on the XL line in the Mottolino snowpark, followed by the Mottolino Metro Area for jib lovers. The Gran Finale of the Burn River Jump will be set in Livigno down town tho, where the finalists will hit a massive 20 meter kicker, followed by two rails to cross the Spoel River as well as a stairset, a Burn can and a pole jam to show the best skills in order to be crowned Burn Jib Master.

ROOPE TONTERI

Jamie Nicholls crosses the river.

The fourth edition of Burn River Jump has come to a close with Yale Cousino (USA) winning the super final for the third time at the Spoel River in Livigno, Italy.

The crowd went nuts for Yale Cousino (USA) who bagged his third win in Livigno at the 5star Burn River Jump. Gjermund Braaten (NOR) took second place and Marc McMorris (CAN) third.

After seeing great conditions for the first two days, the weather took a turn for the worse with strong wind and frigid temps making for challenging riding during the qualifications of this afternoon.

Then the weather changed again and the super final took place with perfect weather condition in a sick slopestyle course set up downtown by Doors Snowpark Structures: a 19-metre straight jump and a huge River Jump gap of 12 meters ending in the jib arena full of Burn cans, stairs, butter boxes and 1 wall ride at the end.

Yale Cusino’s winning run featured backside 1260 on the straight jump, cab 540 on the Spoel River gap and backside 270 on the Burn can. He also won the “Best Jibber by Burn” thanks to the backside 270 on the can of his winning run.

On the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour, Gjermund Braaten, who came second today, made a huge jump into third place on the world ranking list. “This is a dream come true to me”, he says after the prize giving. Janne Korpi now sits in World No. 5 while Eric Willett entered the Top 10. The Burn River Jump is a 5Star event on the Tour and gives out 850 TTR ranking points to the winner.
