A couple of weeks back Vans threw a wodge of cashmoney around in the Ziller walley to the riders with the most stylish tricks. In an effort to make contests more fun to ride as well as to watch, Vans recylced the good old jam session format on a stair set and a big air kicker, this time adding a dollop of X Factor judging, a heap of 20 Euro notes, and a ban on spins over 720s and then fired up the barbecue let the good times roll. For details of the winners check our full event report and photos right here.

Buckle up, Mayrhofen, the Vans Hi Standard’s on its way to change the pace. Pop up to Penken and pick up some particularly pretty prizes this Saturday. It’s Big Air with a twist – not a triple cork: anything over a 7 won’t count, and there’s minus points for repeating a trick. And there’s a railjam too where style wins, and even if you’ve got none then fear not – there are prizes for the worst tricks too. It all seems very warm spirited, which fits nicely with the boozy barbeque session they’ve lined up at the Grillhof and there’ll be no shortage of spirits at Scotland Yard afterwards either. And they’ve imported DJ Flippstarr off of Berlin to play some Adult Rap for us, so be there or be… forever in the dark as to what the heck that is.

Just two weeks before the 2010 edition of the infamous Jib-Vid, we have some great news to announce: we’re very happy to tell you that for the 3rd year running, we have secured the services of the grand Tim Elliot! Hopefully we can continue our glorious history at this event and score a podium spot again this year…

Our change of plans has also made room for a new team, the HZUMovieCrew consisting of Michael Stannat, Lukas Joas and Simon Huber. The Seeker has confirmed their team as well, with Bernhard Dengg, Daniel Wolf and the infamous Rudi Kroll.

The White Lounge Party date has changed as well and is now on the Thursday, 18th of March.

And then there is another great news: you can win a spot for the White Lounge Rail Session! 10 lucky shredheads will get the one off opportunity to ride in front of photographers and filmers in a unique location. You think you got what it takes? Send your rail clips to graham@gmcevents.net

After announcing they would invite the girl who uploads the best action clip of her, girls got wild sending in their videos.

In the end it was Urška Pribošič from Slovenia and her banger FS 7 though, that impressed the jury the most and earned her 100 euros travel budget to go with the invitation to Mayrhofen for February 13th where she will compete against invited riders Julia Baumgartner (AUT), Conny Bleicher (GER), Alicia Bonnaud (FRA), Tania Detomas (ITA), Tina Ramholt (SUI), Enni Rukajärvi (FIN) and Basa Stevulova (SVK) as well as the girls that will make the qualifying. Up for grabs is a prize purse of $ 2500, valuable TTR ranking points (the event got awarded 3 stars!) and goodies form the sponsoring brands Skullcandy, Vans and Les Ettes. Billabong even got a special prize for all the girls, who don’t have a sponsor yet: they will support the best girl one year long with stuff from Billabong.
