British Championships - AIM Series

11-18 March 06

Its that time of year again, the culmination of the UK AIM series in the form of the British Championships in Laax, Switzerland.

Orange Air-time jumpRunning from the 11th-18th March, the event will see the best UK riders compete in the Half-pipe, Boardercross, Big-Air and Slopestyle events, and just in case thats not enough, don't forget about the Orange Air Time. A number of probably half-cut boarders will be dropped from a crane into a quarterpipe, its a knockout competition, whoever gets the biggest air wins ...

We'll be at the event this year, bringing you the results and photos at the end of each day, so keep checking this site for updates.

Ugly DucklingAs with past championships, sure there's going to be some great boarders battling it out, but the apres ski is also full on with a number of big name DJ's and bands performing during the week, mostly from the multi-story car park aka the Riders Palace.

Laax, Switzerland
Excellent snowsure resort with a good long season. The slopes are great for freestylers and freeriders alike, as well as suiting beginners. The resort can be slack at opening lifts and the off-piste gets tracked out within hours of a dump.
Freeriding: 80% - Trees & some good off-piste
Freestyle: 85% - 2 terrain parks & huge halfpipe
Pistes: 80% - Great condition & variety
