ROXY and StarSki Chalets have teamed up to create the ultimate in girls only snowboard camps hosted by Roxy ambassador Tammy Esten, a coach from the reputable Mint Snowboard School and UK Roxy Pro Riders . Together we’ve created a programme to allow for female snowboarders to enjoy a perfectly tailored snowboard holiday with the aim of progressing their riding to the next level. Our aim is simple – improvement and relaxation in style and comfort.

The ROXY Snow Camps have been designed specifically for girls who’d like to improve their snowboarding in an environment that provides everything they need for a thoroughly enjoyable week in the snowy mountains. Not only will you receive expert tuition with our Roxy Pro Rider and Tammy Esten of Mint Snowboarding in a girls only group, but also you’ll get pampered and entertained throughout a week of ultimate luxury. This totally new concept in snowboarding will help all our ROXY Girls to step up a level and match anyone for speed, technique and ability. Whilst we know that the main aim remains to improve your snowboarding we’ve also designed a programme for the week so you can enjoy your time off the slopes.

Dates: 18th – 25th March 2012

Quiksilver & Roxy ambassadors James Thorne and Tammy Esten (also Mint instructor) have just got back from a 2 week hectic tour of the UK to spread the nations love for Quiksilver, Roxy, Mint Snowboard School & Just Snowboard Camps. From Exeter to Glasgow they visited pretty much every city in between, stopping off at Ellis Brighams, Snow & Rocks and a whole bunch of other snowboard stores as well.

Highlights included: a fantastic old hotel in Liverpool, which was very much haunted if you believe in that kind of thing; travelling around London on the worlds smallest tandem, heavily laden with giveaways, flyers & a surfboard; and a few fantastic meals (not mentioning the bad ones) including a catch up with Mint’s unofficial Supervisor Jenny Jones in Bristol.

Let the photos tell the tales:

As mentioned in our previous blog post, Mint Snowboarding instructor Tammy was at the Castleford Sno!zone last Saturday for the TSA Big Bang event to join in the coaching team. Here are a bunch of photos from the girls freestyle session she coached with Roxy rider Aimee Fuller.

Well done to all the girls who were there… great progression from all and some rad talent was shining through!

QUIKSILVER & ROXY RADAR 2011
CONGRATULATIONS TO BRITISH GROMS FIN & MONTY!

The finals of the Quiksilver & Roxy Radar were a massive success for the British ski and snowboard scene, proving that our groms have got what it takes to compete in a European level competition. Radar finalist, Fin Bremner, took 2nd place on the podium for boys Snowboard (under 12’s), and Monty Wright took 3rd spot on the podium for boys Ski. Congratulations lads!
The Quiksilver & Roxy Radar finals took place in Tignes, during the 2011 Winter X Games. The contest allowed the groms to compete in an awe-inspiring environment surrounded by some of their greatest idols. Amongst others, the contest was judged by Quiksilver Pro Snowboarders Freddy Austbo, Markku Koski and Roxy’s Margot Rozies, with Mathieu Crepel awarding the finalists their prizes.

Quiksilver and Roxy are launching registration for the second season of the Quiksilver & Roxy Radar contest – a European wide search for the next Candide Thovex, Mathieu Crepel or Torah Bright’s of the world.  

To find these future champions Quiksilver and Roxy have set up a European wide contest, in association with TSA and Whitelines, open to all young shredders between the ages of 8 and 14.  The event will include male and female, and, ski and snowboard categories.

Quiksilver and Roxy are committed to discovering and developing Europe’s new young talents, and will offer the winners of the Radar with a renewable one-year contract.  All finalists will also win VIP access to the Winter X Games Europe. Held in Tignes, this is the ultimate event for freestyle skiing and snowboarding. On top of this, they will also win an invite to an exclusive summer training camp next season.

Groms who are up for this challenge will have to get through 3 stages:

1)        January 2011- Web Pre-Selection
Riders will have the opportunity to upload files, photos and videos of their best tricks, along with a short blog to www.quiksilverlive.com.  Based on these uploads around 50 groms will be selected to go through the next stage. Registration will be open from 1^st December 2010.

2)        February 2011- ‘Happy Riding Days’
Six European locations, including the UK, are running the ‘Happy Riding Days’ at which the 50 pre-selected candidates will be invited. During the day, the groms must impress the judging panel – which includes some of Quiksilver’s top team riders – with sick tricks, personality and style. Each rider will feature in their own video which will be submitted to an online gallery where the public and the Quiksilver pro’s will make their votes.  

The results of the votes will narrow the selection down to 18 finalists (12 boys, 8 girls) from all over Europe, who will then come together to compete in the final of the ‘Quiksilver and Roxy Radar’.

3)        Quiksilver and Roxy Radar Finals to be held at the Winter X Games Europe
The final of the Quiksilver and Roxy radar will run alongside the Winter X Games Europe (16-18 March) in Tignes. The 18 finalists will compete in an ultimate jam session under the watchful eyes of Mathieu Crepel, double world snowboard champion, Torah Bright, Olympic snowboard champion and Candide Thovex, freeride ski world champion, among other high profile riders. Four podium winners will receive their trophy straight from the hands of their idols plus a 1yr sponsorship contract to join the Quiksilver / Roxy team.  

All 18 finalists will be invited as Quiksilver and Roxy’s VIP guests to watch the worlds greatest snowboarders compete at the infamous Winter X Games.
