Burton is pleased to present Tight Lines – a new format online video snowboarding competition presented in conjunction with Thredbo and Transfer Snowboard Magazine.

Tight Lines is an invite-only online video competition, which offers ten of Australia’s best riders one day each to film their perfect non-stop park lap for a share of $5000 in prize money.

Each invited rider will have one day to plan out and film their best run in the Anton’s Park at Thredbo. Once all runs are filmed, each rider’s tightest line will be available to view on the Tight Lines Mountainwatch site and will be eligible for two awards: The People’s Choice and The Tightest Line Industry Award, each worth $2,500 cash.

The People’s Choice Award allows the general public to vote for their favourite run, with the line with the highest number of votes earning the People’s Choice title and a $2,500 pay cheque.

The Tightest Line Industry Award is also worth $2,500 and will be judged by four industry experts from Burton Snowboards, Thredbo, Transfer Magazine and Mountainwatch.

One rider is eligible to win both awards.

Who will have the tightest line? Who will win a share of $5000? Who will you vote for?

Voting commences at www.mountainwatch/tightlines on Monday, September 7th and will be open for two weeks. Winners will be announced on Saturday, September 19th at Thredbo.
