Posted on January 11, 2010 No Comments

Today, Monday, the Burton European Open continued with the halfpipe pre-qualifications for the men. The superpipe on Crap Sogn Gion was in great shape and the weather was ideal for riding today. It was up to the 100 men to determine which 40 riders will advance to the halfpipe qualifiers, which will go down on Thursday. Finnish rider Ilkka-Eemeli Laari impressed judges most and received today’s top score of 96.33.

Riders were divided into four heats and had two runs, best one counts. The top 5 riders from each heat plus the next 20 highest scored riders from all four heats advanced to the Qualifiers.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, the ladies will join in at this year’s BEO for the Men’s and Women’s slopestyle qualifications.
