We got our chubby hands on next season’s Nokia Snowboard FIS World Cup preview. For the first time in the history of the World Cup there will be a Halfpipe Cup competition, which is set to kick off down under on 31 August in Cardrona, New Zealand. The circuit extends from August through March and is set to light up eight different half pipes across the globe. Along the way, 100 of snowboarding’s top riders will pound the pipe for cash and FIS points, which ultimately determine their world ranking and the World Cup Champ. To escape this summer’s heat tune in on August 31st!
