* 02.06 // The Global Open

* The Burton Global Open Halfpipe Finals *

Burton Snowboards brings its Global Open series to Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, AB. Congratulations go out to all the riders, especially iPod(Iouri Podladtchikov) of Switzerland for winning gold & nailing those Double Corks. Also a shoutout to Dustin Craven for being the most laidback pipedestroyer ever. I did my best to track the riders by their bib numbers so some, but not all, are labeled. Check the Burton Canadian Open website for more info & Check out a great writeup of the even on the PUSH.CA Blog. I hope you enjoy my first real attempt at shooting a snowboard contest. Slopestyle pics coming soon!
