Congrats to Hampus Mosesson for taking 2nd place this past weekend in Zurich, Switzerland for the Freestyle.ch 2008 Big Air Event.  Hampus stomping a Backside 9 Mute to Shifty secured him the 2nd place podium spot. 

The three day event with over 45,000 spectators piling into  Zurich’s Landiwiese were witness to world class snowboarders hucking themselves off the massive kicker.

A stacked talent pool of snowboarders including Hampus Mosesson, Stefan Gimpl, Scotty Lago, Eero Ettala, Antti Autti, Andreas Wiig, Mikkel Bang, David Benedek, Mathieu Crepel, Elias Elhardt, Colin Frei, Marko Grilc, Torstein Horgmo, Tim Humphreys, Markus Keller, Reto Kestenholz, Danny Larsen, Wang Lei, Arthur Longo, Risto Mattilam, Stephan Maurer, Wolfgang Nyvelt, Peetu Piiroinen, Iouri Podladtchikov, Chris Sörman, and Takato Taniguchi.

OK President, Erwin Flury, following the Super Finals said “I didn’t think anything could beat last year’s event, but I was wrong. freestyle.ch 2008 has exceeded everything that has ever come before it. We’ve really reached higher ground - both terms of the sports and the atmosphere. The expansion of both the infrastructure as well as the program for Friday and Saturday has obviously paid off”

Stay tuned to Omatic for dates of his appearances.  While your here check out Hampus’ new board the OMATIC SWEET… IN STORES NOW!

Have you ever just sat under a shaded tree contemplating the meaning of it all?  Yeah us neither. However, we have had some pretty profound ideas while sitting on the toilet. What in the wide world of sports does this have to do with anything? Maybe nothing, maybe everything. Deep, huh?

Anyhow, It is with great pleasure that Omatic Snowboards welcomes Michael Casanova to the family!

While most of you have been bronzing the summer away, we at Omatic have been busy at work adding one of snowboarding’s best rail crushers to the team.

Originally from Hudson WI, now living in Breckenridge CO, Nova has been winning rail events and turning heads on the scene for years. 

This past season, Mike has been concentrating on his video part with the Pirate Movie Production crew, throwing himself onto scary, hard, sharp, metal, pointy things, with stairs underneath and twirling over scary, hard, sharp, pointy things with rocks underneath. As if that’s not enough Nova recently took top honors at the Dew Tour rail jam in Portland, OR this past weekend. 

“I’m so amped to have Nova as part of the program, I think that he fits the whole scene very nicely.” says Omatic Snowboards cofounder/owner/ rider/janitor/team manager, Todd Richards.

“It’s amazing to now be part of a team with others that I have looked up to for so long” Says Michael Casanova.

Well Nova we at Omatic can tell you this, you are one tall mambajamma so we will be looking up to you, literally, for some time to come.
