*The 08/09 season of the
Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour is charging at full steam down under and
the anticipation is rising for the first 4Star event on the
Tour, the Oakley Stylewars 2008. Taking place August 24^th - 28^th 2008
in Falls Creek, Australia, the 4-day lifestyle Slopestyle event,
complete with intense snowboarding, parties and live music, is looking
to be the highlight of the Southern Hemisphere.

With 500 Swatch TTR ranking points in the mix along with a 000 USD
prize purse, Stylewars is sure to carry the competitive momentum set
just recently at the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open and 3Star Billabong
Snow Stock. Last season, Norwegian rider Torstein Horgmo blew apart the
Falls Creek scene, and this year he's back to claim it all again. But a
hefty challenge Horgmo is sure to meet, as this year's event is full to
the brim with over 40 talented riders set to destroy the 3 -- Kicker
course.

Expect freestyle entrepreneur Travis Rice (USA) to make things spicy as
current TTR World No. 2 Chas Guldemond (USA) attempts to get back the
Tour Lead which was taken from him last week at the 3Star Billabong
Snowstock by James Hamilton (NZE) Swatch TTR No. 4 Janne Korpi (FIN),
TTR No. 13 Mikkel Bang (NOR), TTR No. 21 Sebastien Toutant (CAN), and
TTR No. 40 Antti Autti (FIN) are sure to keep it interesting alongside a
sick south-hemi contingent that includes the likes of TTR No. 26 Jake
Koia (NZE) and Australian snowboarders Robbie Walker and Ryan Tiene.

Current leader of the Swatch TTR women's ranking, Jamie Anderson (USA),
will also take part in the men's competition. Although there are no
women's points available at Stylewars simply due to the large scale of
the competition features, she will show case her talent together with
the guys. We are excited to see how the top female on the Tour will do. **

Riders will be greeted with a relaxed, shred-friendly atmosphere, but
even more exciting is the private, contest-purpose built Slopestyle
course, already beefed up due to an excellent snow season thus far and
set to exceed last year's set up with increased quality and flow.

Also coming up soon on the Swatch TTR Tour is the 3Star Boost Mobile Sno
Show presented by Samsung, a one-night, under-the-lights, Big Air and
Rail Showdown. Taking place August 29^th to 30^th at Perisher Blue,
Australia, the event boasts a 000 USD prize purse and the longest
rail seen in competition that is sure to spark some creative hits.
Perisher Blue will also host the 5Star Burton Australian Open, starting
off on September 1^st .
