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.
