Snowboarders, of both virtual and who ride the real white waves can rejoice, as both real and virtual snowboarding comes to London’s Battersea Power Station this month. Fans of both varieties can grab some gnarly tricks from Pro snowboarders on the artificial slope or check out Ubisoft’s upcoming snowboard title – Shaun White Snowboarding on the Xbox 360.
Taking place on 23rd-26th October, FS04 Freeze is the premiere winter sports event in the Capital this year, bringing together extreme sports and music fans in one place for an experience unlike any other. An array of the world’s best extreme sports stars including snowboarders Danny Kass and Scotty Lago and Lucas Magoon plus skiing stars Tanner Hall, Jon Olsson and Jacob Wester will be competing on the 30m high real snow big air jump, whilst a stunning line up of over 20 music acts, including headliners, The Enemy and Cypress Hill, rock the crowds. The event will also be filmed and televised by Channel 4.
“We’re really excited to align Shaun White Snowboarding with FS04 Freeze,” said Jon Rosenblatt, Marketing Director at Ubisoft. “The festival will bring together winter sports and music and we’re happy to add gaming to the mix. Visitors will get the chance to snowboard for themselves at the event, albeit through the game!”
