The Nikita Chickita Europe is back for the second year running, opening up yet another opportunity for girls only to take part in the chance to win a year’s contract with Nikita as a fully fledged team member. The contest will be taking place on Saturday 5th April at Serfaus Park in Austria. There’s a special team of shapers who will be working hard to make the best course possible, maintaining it throughout the day. Should bad weather stop play, the contest will be held the following day. It’s a fun open slopestyle contest for all female snowboarders. There are two categories including womens and juniors who will take part in one to three heats of 15-20 competitors. Each rider gets two runs with the best score taken into consideration. The best twelve riders selected and best six juniors will then go on to compete in the finals. At this stage there will then be four runs per competitor with the best two runs counting. Three judges will be looking at style, versatility, technique and creativity when choosing the winners. The rider who does two, three or even four runs in the finals will get a higher overall mark from the eagle eyed judges. The prize money for women’s category is 1000 Euros for 1st, 750 for 2nd and 500 for 3rd plus a contract on the coveted Nikita Team for the winner. Not only that but the top three women and juniors will get the exclusive and limited Nikita Ring! There are loads of goodies to be handed out, including on the mountain; the Nikita Chickita is certainly going to be a relaxed but competitive contest if last year’s event is anything to go by!
