2007 Nokia Air&Style: Andy Finch replaces Antti Autti
Zurich, Switzerland - Antti Autti unfortunately dislocated his shoulder, of course we wish him to get well soon! The snowboard legend Andy Finch from California will replace him. After a pause due to an injury Andy had a great comeback with a first place in the pipe and a fourth place in slope style at the Australian Open. We are looking forward to welcoming the winner of the Arctic Challenge 2004 and the bold jumps of the smart American.
The 32 Snowboarder, 6 Freestyle Snowmobiler and the incredible Bands are not the only things to make the Nokia Air & Style something special!
Let´s not forget the 355 tons of steel and the 1000 tons of snow, which make the event what it is!!
Already now we started the production of the snow, even tough the weather is very actively supporting us!
From Monday on we will start to built up the huge main Snowboard-Kicker!
