The Stimilon Air and Style Challenge series is going into its fourth year, of bringing the biggest jumps, and sickest riders to resorts all over New England. Each event averages over 100 competitors, the jumps are big, there are amateur and pro divisions, and every event is a big party. Flex Records will again be spinning the tunes with DJ Niceness leading the charge! This year we have even better prizes and some new format improvements to make the series run even smoother. All scores will be ranked and online for all to see, photos too. The collegiate division looks to grow with many colleges calling and emailing showing their interest over the summer.
 Hannah Grant entered in 1997 as an amatuer, after winning that, she decided to graduate to pro. Then she won that, so we're not exactly sure what she'll do this year. Loon Mtn, NH. Photo Don Landerwherle |

awards for the series this year, while JD will not only be helping build the jumps but
judging as well. Mike Bettera will be returning for his third year as head judge, and Dave
Mills and Stephan Ford will also be judging. Chris DaBica will be the MC with guest
appearances from player/coach Pat Bridges. Gordie Howe will be back helping out with the

smooth.
