The knock-out out format witnessed riders going head-to-head and getting one chance to impress the judges and progress on into the next rounds. Andy Nudds and 2010 Giro British Big Air Champion, Billy Morgan impressed the most and made it through to the one run final. Billy dropped in first and landed a super stylish 540 nosegrab but Nuddsy answered back with a huge textbook 720 and was crowned the 2010 British Snow Tour Invitational Champ.

Andy Nudds Commented: “I really enjoyed the competition, the knock out format made it a lot more exciting, although I nearly got knocked out in the first round by Samantha Rodgers frontflip! I’m off to Tahoe for the season so my winnings will definitely help towards that”.
