Up For Grabs

Up For Grabs: Win Antti Autti's Snowboard Gear

After winning the 2005 winter X Games, Antti Autti ended America’s decade-long dominance of halfpipe competition. Back-to-back 1080s are this regular-footer’s calling card, and since he came onto the scene, technical spins have gone from huck-until-you-hit travesties to dizzying double-overhead feats. But don’t mistake Antti for a pipe jock. At the 2006 Air & Style in Munich, Germany, Antti stomped a 1260 tail grab to take third proving, that his riding skills aren’t limited to the lip-to-lip halfpipe arena. Now you can get his award-winning gear and take his board, boots, and bindings for a spin (or maybe even a three-and-a-half spin).

Read below to see what Antti has to say about his gear:

Flow Team Antti Autti 157
"I love this board! I can handle speed really well with it, and it doesn’t let you down in hard situations. It’s a great freestyle board, and for transition riding it’s really amazing. Graphics are straight from the rock-music world, but the middle logo is the coat of arms of my hometown, Rovaniemi. Whenever I go riding and I get homesick, I just look between my legs and smile."

Flow One Boa
"A simple and good-looking boot. It’s made for all-around freestyle. I chose the Boa system because it supports my ankles way better than laces. This boot is a great match with my NXT AT binding."

Flow NXT AT
"A light binding that can take some serious hits and still won’t break. I rode with the same [pair of] bindings for a whole season. My team manager Mutty told me to change them in New Zealand because they looked so trashed, but they weren’t. The best bindings I’ve ever used!"

: Billabong Sumo Antti Autti signature model
"It’s super-light and still really warm. I’ve been riding with this puffy in all kinds of weather. While shredding with this yellow/brown jacket, your friends will definitely see where you are going."

Billabong Rewards
"A really a basic pant, but I like the way that there isn’t anything too hi-tech on my outerwear—just simple things. These go great with my yellow/brown jacket, and for sure won’t let water in my underwear."

Giro Manifest
"This goggle fits perfectly, whether you are riding with a helmet or without one. The lenses are really good. I usually just ride with the mirrored ones because they aren’t too dark, even for night riding."

Giro Encore Antti signature model
"I like this helmet because I won’t get a head injury while using it. It’s light and it fits great with my goggles. The graphics are trashy, and the monster on the back is kind of scary, actually. I hope that it takes away the fears that I sometimes have while I’m doing some sketchy stuff."

DAKINE Mustang Gloves
"I’m just having good times grabbing my board with these gloves. They’re good for spring riding, but I use them whenever, because my fingers don’t freeze that easy."

hey this would be the best thing that has ever happened to me because he is one of my fav. riders and it would be a dream come true if i won this. i just started to snowboard this year my first time i went down the bunny slope and i got it just like that i was shocked b/c my friends had been before and he never left the bunny slope before and here i went down and picked it up before he did. it was all sum that i got it be for he did so i left w/ my other friend in 5mins b/c i was still trying to help him but i wanted to go on to sum thing a lot harder. but when i got to the top of the slope i fell the hole way down it was all full. but i said i was going to keep on trying and i pushed my self with out help. i saw all theses guys doing sum grabs i said i want to do that just in a little bit. i never thought i would be able to get air my first time b/c people just kept stopping in front of me but i got it and i landed it. i kept on the whole night by that time i was get little grabs in.

This gear looks really cool, I am fairly new to snowboarding but it has totally filled my days with thoughts of carving up the snow. Counting down the days to winter & planning the trip, winning this gear would be a dream.

Starting football season! our team didnt do so well for tha 1st couple of game! than we look at each other for what to do on weekend! finally my girlfriend's brother said "let go snowboarding" still i would not want to miss my favorite team play on sunday! but he convinced me to go somehow cause i work on saturday! the next thing i know second time up on the lift and im coming down a hill i said to myself! " wow where da hell you been and havent tell me to this sport long time ago!" from that weekend on and for the whole winter season i dont think i have miss one weekend without going there to snowboarding! i live in Southern Cal. so the closest and descent place where else but Mt. high!! i believed i have love this sport more than a person addicted to anykind of drug! only thing i would love all the nice gear to go with! and first time in my life i feel like heart broken and dissappoint that winter is over although i cant wait for next winter!
