Rodeo 900s and 1080 Corks Seal The Deal For Eero Ettala’s First Place Victory

More than 100,000 spectators turned out to see some of the world’s best snowboarders battle it out at the Hyundai Card Super Match in downtown Seoul, Korea last week. DVS’ Eero Ettala went huge and took home first in the big air competition

“I was stoked to win in Seoul in front of 100,000 spectators,” says Ettala. “It was by the far the biggest crowd I have ever competed in front of. I also learned a new trick—a double backside rodeo 9 mute.”

DVS Snow Team Manager Ricky Melnik is stoked on the win as well. “I’m not sure I would be able to tie my shoes in front of 100,000 spectators let alone land a double backside rodeo 9 mute. Congrats E Rock!”
