Roxy Chicken Jam 2008: ABGESAGT !
Die Natur war stärker: Die Roxy Chicken Jam 2008 ist abgesagt. "Wegen des starken Föhnsturms am Kitzsteinhorn Glacier Park können wir die Roxy Chicken Jam leider nicht durchführen", erklärte Maritxu Darrigrand, Marketingleiterin von Roxy.
"Es wäre ein zu großes Risiko für die Fahrerinnen gewesen, sie bei diesen Bedingungen starten zu lassen." Nach der am Freitag durchgeführten Qualifikation hatte der Contest gestern schon wegen des zunehmend stärker werdenden Windes abgebrochen werden müssen.
Heute war der Sturm von vornherein zu stark - die Sicherheit der Teilnehmerinnen ging vor. "Wir sind alle enttäuscht, dass dieser wichtige TTR-Event nicht stattfinden kann", so Darrigrand.
Fahrerinnen wie Torah Bright (AUS) oder Kjersti Buaas-Oestgaard (NOR) hatten sich schon die ganze Woche im perfekt präparierten Glacier Park auf den 6-Sterne-Event vorbereitet.
"Aber wenigstens hatten wir gestern einen sehr schönen Abschluss mit der Masken-Party in der Burg", fügte Darrigrand hinzu. "Und jetzt freuen wir uns alle auf die nächste Roxy Chicken Jam im März in den USA!"

Roxy Chicken Jam 2008 : Qualification results
The world's best female riders defied the snowy roads and rocked up for the 6Star Swatch TTR Roxy Chicken Jam Qualification on the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier. Eight riders qualified with skilled runs and stylish tricks. Tomorrow they will compete against the invited elite riders and we are guaranteed to see an awesome showdown as they battle it out. Although the weather gods didn't want to come to the party, the riders were still able to make the most of the snowy and overcast conditions. The course was specifically shaped for the occasion and consisted of a 12m step up jump, followed by a choice of three lines consisting of a variety of kickers, boxes, rails and a wall ride. This fun park set up allowed all the girls to throw down some banging runs, however, it was Thea Stenshagen (NOR) who was the standout of the day.
Stenshagen tore the course apart and qualified
first with her run, which included a Cab 5, followed by stylish Nose
and Indy grabs, finished off with a 50/50 to Wallride. "The practice
went really good but then I kind of messed up, tomorrow I'll land
everything", she said. Charlotte Van Gils (NED) was also on fire,
pulling off a run which included a Frontside 360 to Backside 360 and
she attempted several crowd pleasing Backside Rodeos, locking her into
second place. Rounding out the top 3 was Aimee Fuller (GBR) who stomped
a Backside 360 Tailgrab to Bs 360 and ended with a nice Wallride. All
eyes will be on Roxy Mellow Park tomorrow from 11.00am, as the top
riders get ready to show us what female shredding is all about and the
first 6Star Title is handed
out.
The girls will all be
chasing after the 1000 ranking points and the $30 000 prize purse, so
the competition is bound to be fierce. Be sure to log on to
www.ttrworldtour.com tomorrow when the winner of 6Star Roxy Chicken Jam
will be announced and all the updated rankings, videos and news will be
ready for your viewing pleasure.
