The 6Star O'Neill Evolution in Davos, January 9 and 10 will kick the Swatch TTR Snowboard Tour back into overdrive as some of the world's best snowboarders rock into the Swiss town to fight it out for TTR glory. The first TTR 6Star competition on European soil in 2009 has a plethora of points spread over two formats and promises to set up for some exciting new ranking changes. First up, riders will tackle the 5Star Slopestyle course and with 850 ranking points the first day and a total prize purse of $100,000 USD up for grabs the competition will be fierce.
The O'Neill Evolution will also see the likes of Dimi De Jong (NED), Victor De Le Rue (FRA) and Elias Elhardt (GER) stepping it up on the big stage. The Euro crew will be further bolstered by Colin Frei (SUI), Olivier Gittler (FRA) and Jamie Nicholls (GBR). Last year's Highest Air winner Manuel Pietropoli (ITA) will be in attendance alongside Martin Cernik (CZE) and Seppe Smits (BEL), who recently claimed 2nd place in the 4Star Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam in Austria. James Hamilton (NZE), one of the most dominating during the Downunder season, will be out to prove he's got what it takes in the Northern Hemisphere contests as will American rider Tim Humphreys.
All the action from the O'Neill Evolution will be broadcasted live on Friday January 9 from 15.45 - 22.30 CET (Slopestyle) and Saturday January 10 from 15.45 - 22.30h CET (Quarterpipe) by Freecaster.tv
Stay tuned because the TTR Title race in January will be well and truly underway as riders battle it out for international glory. With a total prize money payout of $2 million USD including event prize money on the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour the stakes are high.
