The Mile high is like the perfect session, gift wrapped in a contest setting just the way the riders like it. The riders shred until they feel like the can really throw down and get a scored run on demand; that promotes both progression and style. A truly unique event and one of the best in the industry.” Torstein Horgmo 3 times X-Games Gold Medalist

"Stylewars is one of the coolest contests for sure! The format, the crowd and the party make everything for the riders to have a blast and for the people watching." Sebastien Toutant 2013 World Big Air Champion / 2012 World Slopestyle Champion
