British Snow Tour begins in Halifax next weekend

The British Snow Tour kicks off next week with the Quiksilver Big Air Championships in Halifax on July 5 and 6.

The Schools Tour Team, along with local rippers, Jamie Nicholls, James Box and Wayne Taylor will also be visiting two local secondary schools before the event to spread the word and encourage more kids to get involved by dishing out 200 free beginner lessons.

The Quiksilver Rail Jam will get the day’s competition off the ground followed by the highly anticipated Quiksilver Big Air Championships where the United Kingdom’s best will be in action over the 10m kicker with the hopes of winning the coveted title.
