Last weekend we had a goodtime at Snowbase, indoorslope of Terneuzen, during the Jibsy Kings snowjam. A contest organised by Snowbase & One Love Boardshop. Immediately the first real snowboard event of this fresh indoorslope.
We arrived early in the morning and saw that the local shapers did a hell of a good job. Big up for them. The battleship, kicker, downrail, updown-box and c-box were ready to hit. And the shit got hit ..by 114 riders who showed up!!!!
First some qualification runs where every rider got 1 hour time to proof himself during a jamsession. No stress at all. We noticed very fast the talents who qualified themself for the finals. Especially the technical riding level of the juniors was pretty high and even the women delegation amazed the crowt.
