Shaun White is the winner of the 11th Nokia Air & Style Snowboard Festival. The young Californian impressed 13.000 spectators in the sold-out Casino Arena with the most difficult tricks and the best style. Joni Malmi from Finland became second, Nicolas M�ller from Switzerland became third.

The 11th Nokia Air & Style Snowboard Festival is one of the most important snowboard contests worldwide (prize money: � 75.000). Attracted by the exclusive mixture of snowboarding, action and music thousands of spectators visit the Air & Style every year. For the first time the event was expanded to a two days festival.

On Friday seven riders qualified for round 2 on Saturday. 5.000 watched 32 of the world�s best snowboarders fighting for the top positions. Besides the spectacular snowboard show (big-air and freestyle elements) the Red Bull FMX Show (freestyle motocross) was an outstanding highlight. Three FMX superstars, �Mad� Mike Jones, Tommy Clowers and Nate Adams enthused the visitors in Seefeld. The bands �Die Happy�, �Beginner�, �Gang Starr�, �Wir sind Helden�, �Donots� and �Lagwagon� were live on stage during this festival..

The elite of snowboarding came together on Saturday. Three time Air & Style champion Stefan Gimpl, last year�s winner David Benedek and spinmaster Marc-Andre Tarte were three of the sixteen best. Like last year Marc-Andre was able to do the �twelve-sixty� (3 � rotations), Friedl Kolar took the risk of a one-footer and Nicolas M�ller did a perfect �backside 720 japan air�. Judges were honoring not only the technique but also the style. Shaun White showed the best combination of both: a perfectly landed �cab 900�.
