So Saturday saw London host its first ever FIS World Cup big air contest. And the locals were out in force to watch it – tickets were sold out as 10,000 people headed to the grounds of the coolest building in London, Battersea Power Station, to watch the snowboard action and a decent line-up of bands.
You could see the jump from miles around – the rig apparently being the one also used for the Air & Style contest in Germany. It was so tall (35 metres to be precise) that the riders had a lift to get them to the top. It got pretty windy at the bottom so I dread to think what it was like up at the top.
