Peetu Piiroinen Is Three Time TTR World Snowboard Champion

http://www.ttrworldtour.com - Last season, Peetu Piiroinen was the first ever snowboarder to win two TTR World Tour titles and has returned again this season to take an unprecedented third consecutive TTR title, a feat no other snowboarder has come close to touching. At the age of 23, Peetu has had an amazing run in competitive snowboarding with over 25 career podiums. Peetu started competing back in 1997 at the ripe age of 9-years old and has been steadily progressing his riding since. He made his first big break onto the scene back in 2006 when he took his first major win at the Burton European Open, where he won the slopestyle title. From there, he has expanded his skills into the halfpipe, quarterpipe and big air jumps winning competitions around the world. The key to Peetu's success on the TTR World Tour has been his ability to master all disciplines in freestyle snowboarding.This season, Peetu competed on three different continents and did not discriminate when choosing what types of events to attend. Peetu does it all and does it all well. He began this season in Asia at the 6Star Shaun White Oakley Air & Style in Beijing, China where he placed fifth in the big air competition. From Asia, he moved on to Europe where he took fourth place at the 6Star O'Neill Evolution halfpipe in Davos, Switzerland. Peetu found himself back on the podium when he took down the 6Star Burton European Open halfpipe title and placed second in slopestyle. And, at the 6Star Billabong Air & Style in Innsbruck, Austria, Peetu took another second place. Just one week later, he won the Nike 6.0 Air & Style in Munich, which was the result that ended up clinching his TTR World Tour title for the 2010/11 season.1st - Nike 6.0 Air & Style Munich Germany, Big Air 1st - Burton European Open, Halfpipe2nd - Billabong Air & Style Austria, Big Air 2nd - Burton European Open, Slopestyle4th - O'Neill Evolution, Halfpipe5th - Shaun White Air & Style Beijing, Big Air11th - Burton US Open, Slopestyle21st - O'Neill Evolution, Slopestyle

TTR - Shaun White and Oakley Present the Air & Style Beijing: Day 1

Riders Ready to Go Head-to-head. 
The Riders Draw took place on Thursday evening after riders returned from the stadium. All the Air & Style events feature a unique head-to-head elimination tournament-style format. So, after training, the riders were brought together to choose names out of a hat to see who will go head-to-head in the first round of competition on Saturday. Each rider will have three runs and the rider with the best score moves on to the next round, while the rider who loses is knocked out of competition. Current Swatch TTR Tour leader Gjermund Braaten (NOR) explains, "You gotta be on it from the start and you gotta throw down your best trick from the start to make it." He was paired with Seppe Smits (BEL) who was excited about the match up saying, "Im up against Gjermund for the first run, It's gonna be a tough match, but I'm looking forward to riding and trying out the jump tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. "Austrian Werni Stock was paired with a Norwegian youngun, "I got Stale Sandbech, one of the rookies. He moved in for iouri and is a super tough rider, super young and super motivated. I saw some serious tricks from him like Cab 12 and back 10 doubles. I'm gonna give it my best, wish me luck, I really need it. It's gonna be fun. " Stale was equally nervous about his opponent saying, "Werni Stock picked me. It's gonna be hard! It's gonna be really hard! It's a tough contest going head-to-head, and all the riders are really good. It's gonna be a tough challenge for sure." Andreas Wiig (NOR) comments on his opponent, "I got scotty Lago. He was the only one who hit the jump today so I'm shaking in my pants right now."The riders will have one more day of training tomorrow (Friday) before the action kicks of in front of 15,000 fans on Saturday 4th December 2010. Check out the list below for the full head-to-head list for the first round of competition on Saturday.
