2008 Falls Creek Burton Amateur Series Results
Victoria, Australia - The first stop of the Burton's Australian AM series was held last Saturday at Falls Creek, Victoria, and with the help of the recent snowfalls, also marked the opening day of Falls Creek Park. The setup consisted of 3 medium sized rail /box features that gave riders plenty of opportunity to throw down for the judges over the hour jam session. The rider friendly setup meant nobody held back and riders went trick for trick with all the usual suspects being thrown down in succession. In the end, was Victorian rider Iver Lynne who took out the fiercely contested under 15's division and local rider Livio Tobler who walkd away with the under 20's glory, both with new Burton snowbaords for their troubles.
