Chill and Destroy!!!!!! Heubach

Chill and Destroy . That is what they do at the Flow Youth Team Benelux. 

Joey van de Noort (10 years old) represented the team this week at the tour stop Heubach (Germany) a  1 star TTR contest.  After a trip of 8 hours he and his parrents arrived  early in the morning. Joey unpacked his gear and started warming up.  After a few rounds Joey and his coach discussed the park and set out the runs for the qualifications. On the kink-box Joey did a backside nose,  on the up-box to butter-box also a back nose and on the first kicker a stylish and high backside 360 on the second kicker a front side 180. Which was more than enough to put him in the Finals.

In the finals he could repeat the same run smoothly, good for the first place till 12 years.
Joey was competing in two classes:  one, kids till 12 and the other, kids till 15. In the first class Joey became first and the second class he became fifth.
After a fulfilling day Joey packed up for a week training at Kaprun Austria.

Well done Youngster!!!!!!!

Chill and Destroy Axamer Lizum......

As a part of the Chill and Destroy tour, today we have had the competition day in Axamer Lizum. The setup was not really big but nice in shape. Unfortunately Erik his knuckle landing from yesterday was not without concequences. He still had a really sore heel and after a few practice runs he had to decide that it would not be possible to compete. The two other riders , Jazzley and Ziggey, were rocking it! During the qualifiers they landed every trick on the kicker and rails.

They qualified for the finals where they showed their skills during the two final runs. In the former events Jazzley and Erik already won a ticket to the finals in Fellhorn by ending up in the first or second place. So it would be awsome if Ziggey could also join them there.

In his last run he really put in all his effort and confidence, and stomped all his tricks like a boss!

This run got him into the second place and won his ticket to the finals!!! Jazzley also managed really well and ended up in the 7th place.

We celebrated the great results of today in the sauna and Jacuzzi in the hotel. And tomorrow we are not going home, no, we have two more days coming. Hopefully with al lot of powder, bluebird, fun and new tricks.

                                        Ziggey 2nd place (He brought his board) 

                                                                                                                                                                               

                                                                                      

                                                                                                                                    
                                                                                                                   

Kids Killing it at Chill and Destroy

We have been riding two Chill and Destroy contests the last couple of weeks first in Ehrwald (Austria) and last weekend in Postwiese (Gemany). For the first contest in Ehrwald 3 of the team competed unfortunately Jeremy and Joey could not make it. When we arrived we had some fun building kickers in the area first. And jumping a little Chalet, fun fun fun. Next day the contest started we had some clean runs and the results where great Ziggey ended up in 5^th place Erik was 3^rd and Jazzley took the first win of 2012 for the Flow Micron Team. Great results combined with a great weekend in the snow: STOKED!!!

Last weekend we went too postwiese (Ger) for another Chill and Destroy contest. We arrived there with our entire team so Joey, Erik, Jazzley, Ziggey and Jeremy where all competing in this contest. First we had the chance to ride 2 runs and try qualifying for the final. We all went for it and took some risks, resulting in some mixed results and some crashes. But still 2 of us made it into the final, Erik and Jazzley, they both had 2 solid runs in the final. Both of them finished in the top 3 again only they switched places this time. So Jazzley came in 3^rd and Erik took another win for Flow. As you can see in the picture below Jazzley forgot to bring his board to the podium. Luckily Erik came in for first place to represent Flow on the Podium.
