For the first time in ten years, the King Of The Hill big mountain freestyle contest returned from it's absence to crown a new king and queen. As if he had been training for this very moment in the ten year hiatus of the contest, it was no surprise that Travis Rice raised the sword that proclaimed him the new King Of The Hill. Vera Jannsen stood alongside him, raising a blade of her own as Queen of the Hill. Rob Kingwell, an already established halfpipe-turned-big mountain rider, came in second, and speaking to his incredible versatility as a rider, coming off an Olympic halfpipe bronze medal, Scotty Lago got third.
Photographer and filmer Brian Hockenstein is on-site in Alaska as part of Mark Sullivan's Alaskan adventure camp/party, Tailgate Alaska, which coincides with the King of the Hill event, and he's been blogging about it right here on Push.ca. You can see Brian's photos from King of the Hill, as well as the awards ceremony in his blog. And don't miss his photos from the road trip up there, since they'll make you wonder why it is you're not there right now.
Transworld Business also has a report and photos from King of the Hill.
