FLAUNT IT

As a fun filled Saturday ended, Sunday morning swiftly followed bringing with it sunshine and bitter cold... but that didn’t stop us. Billabong had brought us “FLAUNT IT”.

Billabong presented this ALL GIRLS rail jam and slope style contest for the second year in a row at Martock. The contest not only attracted local girls, but some from Cape Breton and New Brunswick as well. The day wore on while the ladies threw themselves onto rails and off of jumps, bruising knees and cracking heads but still somehow making it up the hill for one more run...
It was so great listening to girls push and cheer each-other on to get the confidence to land that last trick. Everyone who participated rode hard and still managed to walk/limp away with a smile.

But the ladies who stomped the landings and even left a little blood, walked away with some great prizes. And the results are;
SLOPESTYLE
1st Kimberly Sutherland
2nd Dallas
3rd Sarah Payzant
4th Anne Gilbert
5th Emily Ernst


BEST TRICK RAIL JAM
1st Kimberly Sutherland
2nd Sarah Paysant
3rd Emily Ernst


BILLIE GIRLS PRIZE (under 16)
went to one of our own Pro Girls Christina Retson!

And an honourable mention goes to Danielle from Cape Breton for ripping it up.

I wasn’t able to take as many photos as I had hoped too, but I did manage to get a few goodies...
Here's Chissy in her beautiful yellow Billabong coat making the final announcements.A big thank you again goes out to the judges and and our gorgeous annoucers for their participation on sunday!And our judges still marked each run with frozen fingers...Jenna and I looking a little cold.Michelle was still smiling at the end... sort of.And Michelle from New Brunswick had her biggest fan with her the enitre day. Thanks for making the drive ladies!Some cold spectators.And we thought it might be a good idea to do a group shot... (minus little Michelle
plus our honorary Pro Girl Annie Gilbert)
