Hola! Nikita are already planning the next photoshoot for the Spring Summer 2011 look book. Packing up and heading out from 23rd April 2010, the Nikita crew and team are hitting up North West Mexico. If you feel you got the look or want to recommend a friend because you think ‘she's got the look' like Swedish pop duo Roxette sang in the late 80's, then now is the time to reveal who you are and rápido!

Nikita are offering two places for two special senoritas to feature as a model in the forthcoming prized look book for next Spring Summer's streetwear collection. You will be picked from the piñata, contacted and flown out to join everyone on the shoot. Only enter if you're free to travel from 23rd April to 8th May 2010! Sophia Metzler (Germany), Angelisa Hollick (Canada) and Stefanie Suchy (Germany) entered the last contest and found themselves on location with Nikita in New Orleans. Their photos will feature in next season's Winter 2010 / 2011 look book and you can check out some photos of them on the shoot here – www.nikitaclothing.com/events. Conditions of Entry:

The Quiksilver Crystal Ground will once again show what it is made of and will wait for you with a Super-Special-Setup. We bend over backwards to offer you a day full of fun and smiling faces. But it won't be a children's birthday! At this Slopestyle Contest you cannot only win cool prizes but also points in the Wir Schanzen overall ranking. The tension is rising because the Happy Shred is the last contest before the big final of the tour – only the eight best riders of every category will qualify. All motivated riders who want to show the judges which side their bread is buttered on should push ahead: The 80 tickets to the contest will be much sought-after. So apply soon on www.quiksilver-wirschanzen.de and get a free BBQ with your contest ticket.

After the contest the floor will be given to the Red Bull Best Trick Session where you can run riot on a special obstacle.

But not only Freeski and Snowboard talents will be rewarded. On this day the big Hot Dog eating competition will take place – in this field too you can expect to watch experts!

The sun terrace directly next to the Snowpark is the perfect place to round out the contest with relaxed sound while getting your face suntanned.

No matters if with skis, snowboard or as spectator – it is definitely worth to come to the Quiksilver Crystal Ground: Join the Happy Shred as a rider or watch the slopestyle artists at work and enjoy the sun on your bodies – put on your sun glasses and come to the Kleinwalsertal!

Olympic snowboard medalist Danny Kass, zero time Olympic snowboard medalist The Dingo, and the rest of the Grenade team strike back at the stale conformity that has plagued the snowboard industry for far too long. Rap mogul Lil Jon guides us through The Adventures of Danny and The Dingo: Three months on the road crammed into a bus along with loyal dog, Big Vern, and a hyperactive Lucas Magoon to comb the country and track down the next great Am to join the Grenade squad.

The Arctic Challenge has always been the most prestigious of the Ticket To Ride events, and 2007 was no exception. The good fellows at the event decided this year to get some rocket scientist in on the act to make and measure the perfect quarter pipe to try and beat the highest air in snowboarding set in 2001 by Heikki Sorsa at 30 feet. See how it turns out as the pipe of Terje Haakonsens dream comes to life, with lots of graphics and whizzy stuff.
