Posted on May 29th, 2008 by brandon@seshn |

So we all know that the English love their tea time. Well, I can’t deny that I like tea time myself. What makes the UK different? They name an event after their favorite time of day. The Gnar Chicken & Tea Snowboard Event is coming to the Tamworth Snowdome on May 31st.

Here’s a little info about the event from Michelle who is one of the lovely Nikita Euros. We heart us our Euro babes!

“Gnar Chicken was created from a love of snowboarding and a unified vision of the future of women’s snowboarding. This year’s event will celebrate the progression of women’s snowboarding, be a great chance to spot new talent within the UK by uniting up-and-coming riders with those more familiar on the scene in a fun slopestyle event. The slope layout is set (see attached) and Nikita have provided some amazing prizes which will be distrubuted for everyone at every level to win….“not just for those that ride the best all the time. It is after all about progression!” - Alexa Hohenberg (organiser)
