PR: DeWilde and Rudishauser win Ht. Hood Meadows Halfpipe
(March 23, 1998)
MT. HOOD, OR (Immediate Release) - It was a symphony in contrast - the
smoothness and grace with which Corrie Rudishauser rode to win the women's
division, and the raw power Tyler DeWilde used to win the men's division
of
the Meadows Madness Half Pipe competition Saturday (March 21, 1998). Both
riders are from Bend but have competed in several snowboard events at
Meadows. DeWilde won last year's Vegetate Big Air competition, and
Rudishauser placed 5th in last year's Vegetate Slope Style competition.
DeWilde and Rudishauser not only pocket the $300 first prize, but won
slots
in the Vegetate Half Pipe competition April 30th.
Rudishauser combined a very smooth riding technique to qualify for the
finals, and then demonstrated some aggressive air born moves during the
two
jump final rounds. DeWilde showed amplitude from his first qualifying run,
and won the event with the highest score of the day in the finals with
double grabs, pumps, and plenty of spins.
Meadows riders Sydney Nelson of Portland and Mike Estes of Welches took
home
$200 with their second place finishes in their divisions. Kim Bohnsack of
Bend won $100 for third place, but a tie for third in the men's division
between Josh King of Welches and Louie Fountain of Bend split the prize to
$50 each.
