BURTON OPEN

19 January 2004


Ross PowersThe Burton European Open fought it's way through some disasterously heavy snow to hold a superb event last week in Livigno.

Powers and McKenna
Outstanding rider of the week was Olympic Champion Ross Powers, who dominated the Jam Session clearly. Huge Standard Airs, various trick combinations throughout the whole session, like Mc Twist to FS 9 to BS 3 to SW McTwist. Insane!

The standout British performance was from Lesley McKenna who took 4th place in the Half Pipe.
