ORANGE AIM SERIES KICKS OFF IN HALIFAX

24 July 2004


To kick off the Orange AIM Series 2004 calendar, Halifax Ski Centre will host the Artificial Big Air Championships 7-8 August 2004.

Can Team Vapour keep the title?
Many people thought this was the best UK AIM event last season in regards to riding and atmosphere. To not disappoint the crowds the Team Challenge is staying on the agenda! Teams are made up by three members that will ride as a group and can utilise all obstacles on the slope in their run. Therefore judges will give out points for creativity, ‘flow’, difficulty and amplitude. Will the Vapor Team be able to keep their title?

Big Air and Big beats
To keep everyone entertained during the weekend Mr Tim Warwood will be ruling the mic to the tunes of DJ Master Tony and Halifax Ski Centre will spark up their BBQ for that summer party feel.

After the success of the last two years the Orange AIM Series is concentrating on five championship events this year as well as an invitational Big Air competition alongside the Glasgow inner-city FIS World Cup event on the 9/10th October (TBC)
