Shayne Pospisil Wins Red Bull Snowscrapers

20090205-IMG_0710.jpgRed Bull Snowscrapers is now history, with Shayne Pospisil taking a surprise win and pocketing a cool 50 grand, repping the Northeast hard with his Jersey roots. 16 of the world's best snowboarders took to the immense drop-in that stood nine stories tall in New York City's East River Park, hitting the 80-foot-long hip jump unique to the Red Bull Snowscrapers event.

POSPISIL_SNSP_CP_050209_2705.JPGShayne defeated Torstein Horgmo in the final round, stomping a solid backside 900. After throwing a victory method air on his final hit, Pospisil was swarmed by friends, family, and fans. "Having all of my friends and family here is amazing," he said later. "It's a dream come true."

Nevins_060209_snowscrapers_16.jpgThe third-place match-up featured Scotty Lago vs. Travis Rice; Travis was looking strong all day through the semis but started struggling with backside rodeo 900 attempts in the final rounds, so Lago's backside 900 earned him the third place spot. Snowboarding legend Terje Haakonsen walked away with best trick honors, bombing the drop-in with his back foot unstrapped and kicking a one-footed method air that brought cheers from the crowd.

With the massive hip set-up, hot sets from bands Valient Thorr, Black Gold, and Anthrax (with special guest Chuck D.), and throngs of awesome NYC fans, Red Bull Snowscrapers is going down as the dopest snow contest to hit the Big Apple.

Results
1. Shayne Pospisil
2. Torstein Horgmo
3. Scotty Lago

Best Trick: Terje Haakonsen, one-footed method air

IMG_9583.jpgThe structure is up, the snow is down, and the athletes are here - Red Bull Snowscrapers is officially set to go off. Check out the latest photos here, and stay tuned for more pics, video clips, and results - of course, your best bet (if you're not in NYC) is to catch it live on MSG TV or redbullsnowscrapers.com. Barring that, check it out on NBC on February 15th at 5pm EST.

IMG_9764.jpg"City contests are always a different deal. It's more like a party, everyone meets up, has a good time, and rides well. And a hip contest is so ill; I'm so excited to be here. I got to hang out yesterday and it was so much fun. I went to three different bars, and the last one was so sick - so many hot chicks! I really love the culture in New York, everyone is so trendy here. Everyone has their own little cool style. I love it!" --Mikkel Bang
