Red 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.
Shayne 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."
The 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.

When you are up in the North Island of Japan, there is no telling what
the weather might bring. We landed at our final destination smack dab
in the middle of nowhere. We met up with Pat Moore, Zach Leach and
Heikki Sorsa in the airport and our crew was complete. From around the world, the crew had gathered in the tiny island nation of Japan for a trip that only Red Bull could pull off. We are chasing the world’s best snow all over Japan until we have had our fill. Chuck Olbery from Hokkaido Powder Guides met us with our transportation and we were off. The sky was dark and the snow was puking. We had about 2 hours until we reached out lodge, which was nestled at the end of a road halfway up a volcano.
