The fourth and final event in the 2006 Cadbury Moro Slopestyle Series at The Remarkables was run in beautiful clear weather in the UP & GO terrain park on Monday October 2.

More than 100 freestylers turned up to enjoy the final on skis and snowboards.  The event was run in a jam format where riders could ride the park for two hours signalling when they want their two runs to be judged.  

Bringing the series to a close, Youth Action Sports Co-ordinator Josh Clark, thanked supporters and sponsors including  Ants and Craig at Quest, Danny at Flow, Dylan at Bakoda and Pro Tec, Justin at Red Bull, Lizzie at DB Export, Ben & Adam at ICA and all the Tardis crew.

Winners were:
Open Men Snowboard ? Parklife rider Jeremy Thorns
Junior Men Snowboard ? Jethro Mains
Open Women Snowboard ? Annais Cettov

A cash and product prize pool valued at around $3000 was shared by the winners.  

?It was great to see a Remarkables Parklife crew member snapping up the top title in the Open Men Snowboard ? big congratulations to Jeremy Thorns,? said Josh Clark.

?Even though it was a very relaxed atmosphere the competition had stepped it up a notch as people where fighting for overall placings with nothing to lose.  With JC on the mic amping people up, we witnessed some progressive riding.?

?It was a great series and we?ll be looking to build on that for the 2007 Cadbury Moro slopestyle series at The Remarkables.?
