SNOWBOARD. Beijing/China, 12/04/2010 - Sebastien Toutant (CAN/18 years) is the winner of the first Oakley Shaun White Air & Style Beijing. By sticking a Cab 1260 Double Cork he prevailed in the super four final over Seppe Smits (2nd/ BEL/19/Backside 1260), Elias Elhardt (3rd/GER/22/Backside 1080 Double Cork) and Mikkel Bang (4th/NOR/20). His rewards are a great share of the € 75.000 prize money, the Ring of Glory and 1,000 points for the Swatch TTR World Tour ranking.
In a contest on the highest athletic level, the riders benefitted from ideal conditions on the ramp and kicker, towering almost 40 meters above the ground of the Olympic Soccer Stadium, enabling the riders to perform tricks with a long airtime. Thus 8,800 spectators enjoyed a series of double corks and other tricks with the highest level of difficulty and outstanding style. The young Chinese crowd was enthusiastic about the athletic performances of the 16 world-class snowboarders and two local Chinese heroes as well as about the show of Chinese music super star Wang Leehom.
