The 2010 World Heli Challenge is less than two weeks away and the list of competitors for the event, which will be held in Wanaka in New Zealand, has been finalised. |
|
Athletes from eight countries will compete in the popular event, which first started in 1995, athough the event had a hiatus until it was resurrected to great success last year.
The aim of the event is to find out who amongst the world's elite riding athletes can be labelled the best 'all rounder', with a range of challenging tasks designed to separate the wheat from the chaff. The stunning 'big air' event will be making a return, and two 30 minute TV shows will capture all the highlights from this year's challenge.
Here's the official list of snowboarders taking part:
Male Snowboarders
Adam DeVargas, USA Andy Bergin Sperry, USA Andy Finch , USA Ben Wooster, NZL Jayson Hayle, USA Johannes Scharl, DEU Mitch Brown, NZL Quentin Robbins, NZL Ralph Backstrom, USA Ratty Sheidow, AUS Rydor McCune, USA Shin Biyajima, JPN Travis Rice, USA Will Jackways, NZL
Female Snowboarders
Aline Bock, GER Juliane Bray, NZL Maria Kuzma, NZL Shannan Yates, USA Sunny Prather, USA
It all kicks off on 30 July and runs through to 8 August |
