Big Air | Snowboard Jamboree 2012

Riders depart from the top of the course to obtain an optimal speed before reaching a jump from which they do an aerial movement before landing in a specific area. It can be compared to aerials in freestyle skiing. Impressive structure : 40 m high and 110 m long!

      Big Air LG/FIS World Cup

       February 24-25

         Îlot Fleurie (near Dufferin-Montmorency highway)

     

    As with Halfpipe, Big Air is a judged event. Individual riders approach a single jump high of 40 m and long of 110 m (also called a ‘Kicker’), perform tricks in the air, and land on a slope of around 30 degrees. Judges award points based on overall impression which will include style, degree of risk and of course a clean landing! For photo opportunities and a big crowd atmosphere, the Big Air event is without peer. The ‘Wow factor’ is huge, but it is far more difficult for the spectators to be able to tell who will win than it is with the race-based disciplines.
