On Friday the 16th of December The Nike Chosen Series will launch at The Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead.

Boasting the biggest indoor kicker seen in the UK this year it will be a unique event. The best home-grown AM riders will compete for a chance to ride alongside some of the world’s greatest Pros at the ‘Session’s Finals’ held in Austria in April.

With 25 top AM riders invited to the UK stop, there will be a further 25 spots available for amateur snowboarders who want to show what they’re made of and get noticed. For those not competing there will be an open Park created by local shaping crew DWA and music supplied by FBBB.

The Nike Chosen Series will have nine stops across Europe where AM riders will session in a jam format kicker contest. The rider who is judged ‘Best Overall’ at each event will then join the Nike team riders and compete at the grand finals held at the Nike Chosen Sessions in April 2012. For AMs who want to take their riding to the next level and to shred with some of the best riders on the planet, the Nike Chosen Series is the opportunity to show what you’ve got. As well as an Overall Winner, each country stop will have prizes awarded for Best Style, Most Creative Rider and Best Female Rider. The best tricks from each stop will be posted online and judged by Facebook likes throughout the season, the rider with the most votes will receive a wildcard into the finals.
