· Red Bull Snowscrapers: On Thursday, February 5th, 16 illustrious professional snowboarders from around the globe competed against the majestic backdrop of the New York City skyline in a contest that proved to be the biggest winter event to come to the big apple.
With a nine-story tall ramp and $100,000 on the line, Red Bull Snowscrapers locked down the heaviest snowboarders on Earth including Shaun White, Travis Rice and Pat Moore. The athletes dropped in from a nine-story structure before flying off the specially constructed ramp toward an immense 80-foot long hip.
