The world’s best professional snowboarders gathered in Stratton Vermont for this year’s Burton Global Open showcasing riders from around the world throwing down for huge cash in Halfpipe and the Big Air best trick contest. Some of many riders included Torah Bright, Shaun White, Gretchen Bleiler, Mason Aguirre, Kelly Clark and Kevin Pearce. If you watched the contest, you would have noticed all the new snowboarding gear and snowboard outerwear that will soon to be hitting TruSnow for the 2009 season.
