Slope Style Big Air from 2014[/caption]
Spring in Thredbo brings out the crazies...?It is something about the sun and snow combination that gets people thinking they can do anything ?and the events calendar this spring has some craziness planned.
The First event on the calendar in September is the final event of the Thredbo Snow?Series with the Big Air Competition at?the Thredbo Big Air Site in the Anton's T Bar Area. ?If you are here on Friday the 4th of September head up to Antons between 10.30am and 3.00pm ?where the DJ's will crank the tunes while some seriously crazy skiers and snowboarders launch off the 50ft plus?jumps attempting tricks that will keep your head spinning just trying work out what just happened.
If you have your pilot's license and ?are slightly touched yourself you can always sign up for this event here:

The-King-Of-Bob-comes-to-Thredbo[/caption]
Also on September 5th ?for the first time in Thredbo is the Red Bull King of Bob contest. ?This is toboggan riding on caffeine (lots of it if the sponsor has a say) ?with a purpose built track on Thredbo's Sundowner run set aside for ?anyone loopy enough to want to attach themselves to a butt busting plastic prayer matt (with handle) on which they launch themselves down the course with absolutely no mechanism for control in any form.
Not surprisingly, the event entry is free and registration is from 5pm at Friday Flat with the first racers dropping in from 5.30pm. ?The first prize for the event winner in a flight above Thredbo in the Red Bull Aerobatic stunt plane.
If this event has spiked your interest you can register online here. ?If on the other hand you are developing a shoulder cringe and covering your eyes just thinking about it, ?you can join me on the sideline at the top of Sundowner to watch in horror.
