The TTR World Snowboard Championships were held for the first time this year and will not be held again for three more years. “That’s the first time I’ve landed a switch back 1260..” Chas on his winning run. Chas through down a pretty heavy winning run which started with a  frontside blunt 270 out to a frontside boardslide 450 out, switch backside 1260, backside 1080, tailpress to backside 180 and ended with a huge Cab 1260.

This was a big win for Chas. Chas’ contest season got off to a slow start. He had some board issues at the X Games and was unable to make the finals. But he kept his head in the game and headed to Calgary for the 5 Star Burton Canadian Open where he turned the page for his contest season and took home the win and a big confidence boost. This is his winning run.

Josh has been one busy little dude this season. This season he is hitting the competition circuit hard. He has made a big commitment by bringing on a private coach, Shawn Craddick, retired pro-snowboarder and local Tahoe legend. Josh is super stoked and having fun with Shawn, not to mention learning a lot. And so far it seems to be paying off big.

Josh took 1st place at the Volcom Peanut Butter and Rail Jam at both Sierra at Tahoe and Mammoth Mountain (15 and under group).  He even scored an interview with fuel TV. But Josh didn’t stop there he has been competing in the Tahoe region USASA events as well and dominating with a USASA Rail Jam 1st place and two more USASA Slope Style 1st places.

Josh is tearing it up right now working on a back 10 for Gatorade Free Flow this weekend. He is also stepping up to the open division. He has landed a few cork 9′s this past weekend for USASA in slope style. So he is excited to throw down this weekend.

Be sure to keep up to date with Josh. His coach, Shawn Craddick, posts all sorts of pictures of Joshua on Facebook and the Boreal Blog. Josh also would like to thank Volcom and Eternal for all of their support this season.
