Day 3 at the BRITS

OK, so there's the night before to talk about and then all the action from the following day...

The night before

After the sucess of the Huckfest, a bouyant BRITS crowd desended on the Indy Bar at the bottom of the slope for a jolly Cushe party. Warming the crowd up was Seb Kern, who played a quality old skool Drum n bass set, leaving the crowd pumped and waiting for more from the headlinners, Urban Knights. These guys hit the stage, took stock and conquered, with some brainshaking dubstep and breaks. Sonically awesome, visually incredible, the Urban Knights were the guardians of all thats sacred and revered about the BRITS.

The action from the following day

Skier Cross and snowboard halfpipe were on the menu today. We had a particular interest as Becky was competiting in the finals of the skier cross finals and i'm very pleased to announce that Becky was once again on the podium, coming in 3rd after a crash halfway up the slope with the 4th place competitor. Nice one Becky!!!

In the snowboarding halfpipe, historically the blue ribbon event with the big guns all coming out to play, we we're treated to some explosive action in all catagories. In the womens, Animal rider and GB star Kate Foster took gold and in the mens, young buck, Jamie Nicholls took the honours with a trick he's learnt in practice that day.

All in all another corker of a day and muchos fun had by all.

More from day 4 tomorrow.

Becky gets top 4 place in Aspen Open

Here's her story in her own words....

"i competed in my first US competition this weekend. The competition took place at Buttermilk in the X Games Superpipe. I was really excited to compete against some big names and put my training so far into practice.

The pipe was shaped really nice, but with only 30 minutes practice there was only time for a run of straight airs and then one practice of my competition run.

We had 2 runs in the semi-finals with only the top 5 advancing to the super final out of 20 girls. I had two, good clean runs; mute grab, alley opp mute, alley opp, safety grab, japan grab, right 5, left 5, right 3. i was really pleased with my run, but then had to play a waiting game for a few hours until they realised the results.

I qualified in 4th place for the super final, i couldn't believe it, i was super stoked. The final went well and although i didn't quite get my left 5, which made me stickw ith 4th place. I'm really happy with the result and never dreamed i'd have a top 4 placement in a US event.

I'm really looking forward now to the rest of the season and my last 2 weeks training in Aspen, before competing in the European events."

Becky, we're super stoked for you too, amazing stuff!!!
