X-Games Celebration

fergie — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:46:59 +0000

Winter X-Games 14 may have been the craziest and most ground breaking X-Games so far. Every discipline showed an unbelievable increase in tech tricks and the level of competition itself, including Kevin Rolland’s perfect double 1260 in men’s halfpipe, Peter Olenick’s Guiness World Record height of 24′-11″ on a perfect flat 540, Bobby Brown’s double misty 1260 in slope, and the throwdown in big air finals.

To celebrate TJ’s first ever double cork 1620 and silver medal in X-Games Big Air, we are going raffle off the bib TJ was wearing in Finals signed by TJ himself. All you have to do is include your full name, mailing address, and age to info@tjschiller.com . Draw will be held Sunday Feb 7th.

TJ’s Double Cork 1620 @ X-Games 14

Scott Schiller — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:03:41 +0000

The Big Air event at X-Games saw athletes pulling tricks never seen before, and as one ESPN commentator put it after TJ stomped a massive double cork 1620, “what in the wide world of sports was that!?” .. It’s the first time a double cork 1620 has been executed in competition.

Video of this jump:

TJ landed a solid second place in Big Air, with a perfect score being awarded for the 1620. He’s watching the pipe comp tonight (Sunday), and is getting ready for the last stop of the winter Dew Tour. Stoked!

X-Games Day 3

fergie — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 23:02:09 +0000

Today was the first day of actual competition at X-Games 14. The day started off with men’s slopestyle qualifiers at 10am. All predictions came true and even the qualifiers were extremely competitive. Bobby Brown was the first athlete to drop and stomped an absolutely flawless run right away. Everyone in the contest was killing it, and almost every run that qualified would have been a winning run last season. Unfortunately, TJ had some trouble with his back 450 off the top flat bar and it came down to his last run to make it into finals. TJ changed around some of his rail tricks and put down an awesome run, but touched his hand down on his double 1260 and won’t be able to defend his title from last year. Tonight is a clean slate with the beginning of big air practice from 7 to 9.

The Finalists for Slopestyle will be:

Andreas Hatveit
Bobby Brown
Russ Henshaw
Sammy Carlson
Tom Wallisch
Phil Casabon
Jossi Wells
Matt Walker

GIGI RUF

Christian “Gigi” Ruf hails from the Alps in Austria. Having grown up in an area where snowboard parks were just starting to become the rage in the states, Gigi had to be creative with his surroundings to enjoy his snowboarding. This forced Gigi to look beyond the usual groomed run at his local hill.

Gigi began looking into the backcountry near his home and on the mountain. From pillow lines, powder kickers, to even having a full jib event held behind his house he found a way.

Fast-forward to today and you have one of the most well rounded snowboarders in the world. He has managed to put down video part after video part, even having a couple years when he has filmed multiple parts in one year.

TJ SCHILLER

This Vernon, British Columbia ski sensation made his mark on free skiing a few years ago while traveling the world with Poor Boyz Productions. TJ has really come into his own over the last two years; He made a sponsor change from Armada to Coreupt skis and has a new found focus on his skiing.

He not only took home the X-Games Gold in Slopestyle last year but also filmed segments with Poor Boyz and Matchstick Productions. This Season is looking like it could be a good one for TJ as he has some new tricks locked in and spent all summer in the gym and at the trampoline mats.Looking down the line it only made sense to give TJ the first FreeSki Signature model. TJ chose the Rogue frame, as it was his favorite model and looked towards his love for the 90’s TV show; The Fresh Prince of Belair.

He has big plans this year to “Handle business” in all the comps entered and be back filming multiple parts.

TJ SCHILLER ROGUE SIGNATURE SERIES – Release Fall 2010

X-Games Day 2

fergie — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 01:41:13 +0000

Today was the first day of training in the slopestyle course for both men and women, and the second training session in the halfpipe. Most of the pipe athletes are still trying to figure it out as there is a little more vert and less transition than a typical 22 foot pipe.

Slopestyle training was pretty mellow. Most of the athletes were spending their time figuring out speed, with exception of Bobby Brown who brought out his fresh new switch double 1260. We were planning on dropping a little video of today’s slopestyle training, but we were trying out a new wide angle on the ContourHD and the footage was all out of focus. We will be on our game for practice tomorrow and have a video for your to enjoy.

Tomorrow TJ will be tweeting for X-Games at 1:30 MST. I will post the details about it in the morning.
