Cet automne, la compagnie BestTrick/Playboard à approché SnowboardQuebec.com pour devenir leur partenaire officiel au Canada, concernant leur nouvelle saison de King Of S.N.O.W. 2010. Nous avons accepté avec plaisir car nous avons trouvé que l’idée pourrait interessée nos milliers de visiteurs sur SBQ.
King of Snow, c’est une game de « s.k.a.t.e », mais en snowboard… et sur le web via vos vidéos soumis. Pour les moins habitués, une game de s.k.a.t.e c’est un gars qui fait un premier truc, ensuite toi et les autres doivent réaliser le même truc. Si tu manque, tu reçoit une première lettre, le « S », et ainsi de suite jusqu’à ce que les gens qui ont les 5 lettres accumulés soit éliminés.
Donc SBQ vous invites à entrer dans la game de S.N.O.W. et de soumettre vos vidéos. Vous aurez donc droit à quatre chances (quatre lettres). Pourquoi ? Car il y à 5,000 $ cash (USD) en jeux (plus des prix) !! Vous serez comfronté à des riders de tous les continents de la planète. Une bonne raison de montrer que les Quebecers rock la baraque une fois de plus. Les jeux débutent ce 28 décembre 2009.
Comment participer ? Rendez-vous au king-of-snow.com, inscrivez-vous. Chaque semaine, un pro-rider de Horsefeathers va présenter un truc sur vidéo, vous devrez refaire ce truc le mieux possible et soumettre votre vidéo face à ce truc.

Everybody can participate no matter where you are residing. This is the deal: Every week a Horsefeathers pro rider will show his trick via a video clip at www.king-of-snow.com. You just have to redo this trick with as much style and thrill as possible on any possible obstacle of your choice, catch your action on video and upload the trick to the online platform. Whoever sticks the trick in the given space of time will get essential round points that will add up in the final ranking and show the real Horsefeathers King of S.N.O.W!

> IMPROVED JUDGING SYSTEM: Besides the user voting you can gain additional round points in this year’s edition, too. The amount of round points will increase with the complexity of the tricks. You can gain 1 point in round 1 for your accomplished trick plus 1-10 points via the user voting. You can gain 2 points in round 2 for your accomplished trick plus 1-10 points via the user voting and so on. This means that you can get a total amount of 11 points in round 1 respectively 24 points in round 14. The more challenging the tricks the more points you can get. That’s fair play fellas!

L’an passé, les gens devaient affronter les trucs proposés par les pro-riders du team Quiksilver. Le gagnant de la grande final 2009 fût Benno Postert de Innsbruck en Australie. Il est reparti chez lui avec 5000 $ cash USD en poche. Le plus drôle c’est que Benno fait du snow que depuis 3 ans seulement. Peut-être le verrons nous dans nos films bientôt? En deuxième position de la final ce fût Martin Kalliola de la Finlande, qui à passé très prêt de récolter les sous avec un backside 900.
