Antti and Risto hit the WC in Rotterdam |
|
Tuesday, 30 October 2007 |
|
The World Cup Big Air 2007 in Rotterdam proved to be another amazing event with over 20,000 eyes watching 47 rider’s bust out on 1 million liters of snow at the base of the Erasmus Bridge. But for the 2005 winner, Flow Team rider Risto Mattila, it proved to be another unlucky judging session. Basically he was robbed, for the second time this year. Nothing can be done about that now and he still was able to hold his own in the top 10 by placing 9th. Fellow Finn and Flow Teammate Antti Autti stomped 3rd place after an exciting head to head finale against Austrian Stefan Gimpl in 2nd and Peetu Piiroinen taking 1st. Christopher Reynders, Flow AM rider was also in the house staking his claim as 13th.
But enough talk on the results. The main attraction from the event could be found AFTER the finals at the Flow booth for an exclusive signature session with 4 of the competing Flow riders: Antti Autti, Risto Mattila, Christophe Reynders and Joy Geenen giving out tons of Flow swag littered with their autograph’s. Antti’s week pee at the doping test caused him to arrive late, but the fans didn’t seem to mind too much. Probably because Flow was the ONLY booth with a meet and greet letting the public connect with their snowboard heavyweight face to face. High fives for a job well done to all who made this event possible and the rider’s who threw down.

Risto and Antti get judged at the Freestyle CH |
|
Monday, 01 October 2007 |
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 23, 2007 ZURICH, SWITZERLAND Arguably the second largest snowboard contest in Europe, the 2007 Freestyle CH proved to be an incredible event. Over 100,000 spectators crammed into the Zurich Fairgrounds for a busy three-day action sports festival. Antti Autti and Risto Mattila put on a fantastic snowboard display finishing 5th and 7th in the final standings. This finish was somewhat disappointing after some very suspect judging. Antti was 1st and Risto was 5th after Saturday’s semi-finals. The finals on Sunday brought some crazy scoring mistakes for Risto that left him out of the Super Final (top three) and left us all wondering how Antti’s cab 900 was beaten by a cab 720? I guess that’s why they call it a JUDGED event. Anyway congrats to the Super Finalists!
FYI Risto was told after the Super Final of the judging mistake and that he will receive Super Final prize money and a promise of an invite for next year.
Either way the event was awesome and Flow was fully in-the-house with a booth that premiered the new Flow Team Video, had Antti and Risto signing hundreds of posters and gave out more stickers, tee shirts and beers that was possible.
Great thanks to Flow CH; Charles, Renee, Adam, Stefan and Jack for making a strong showing at the Flow booth. Also much thanks to Olivia (from Freestyle CH) Onboard, Pleasure, MBM, The Box and 7th Sky for making this event one of the best contests in the world!

SATURDAY MARCH 17TH, 2007 STRATTON, VERMONT. Antti Autti finished second in the final TTR World Rankings to Shaun White.
