Holly Crawford Wins Burton Europeon Open

After a week of blizards ( me riding pow) and a canceled TTR 6 star slopestyle the weather finally opened up and delivered for the Final day of the 2007 Burton Eupopean in Laax

Andrew  "Burto " Burton was there impressing the crowds and was unlucky to make the final 16 by two spots. But when one aussie falls another steps up. And thats exactly what Holly Crawford did. Her qualifying run was well clear of the other girls. She took womens mamplitude and style to another level with a fs540 stale taht resembled Shaun Whites.



 What’s even more amazing is that she did it with a cracked rib sustained on her final run on Friday!
“My ribs were really hurting me after that fall on Friday, so when the bad weather closed in yesterday and the event was put back a day, it gave me the extra bit of time I needed.”
