Whiteair 2009
In a spectacular sea front fly past the Red Arrows opened White Air 2009 with an awesome aerobatic display.
The first competitors on the water however were the junior windsurfers in a freestyle expression session, showing off an array of tricks despite difficult wind conditions for the sport. Also out, taking full advantage of calm seas, the jet ski pro's kept themselves busy with a series of stunt demo's right in front of the crowds. Thrill seekers also continued to take advantage of more Thundercat Have a Go! sessions, with the Wight Air Thundercat Challenge seeing Microlink PC beating World of Powerboating to 1st place followed by Amhed Tea in 3rd.
Central to every White Air Festival is the Freesports Park, designed and built once again by Andy Potter and his team. During the day, and over the course of the event, both sponsored and amateur riders wowed the crowds with their freestyle jams in mountain biking, BMX, inline skating, parkour and skateboarding. Age was no barrier with a 12 year old the youngest to jump on his BMX achieving 38ft in the long distance competition whilst the Brighton BMX Company pushed the limits narrowly beating this with a 40ft jump. A new White Air Parkour record was set by Dane Grant at 13ft then narrowly beat by Pete at 14ft. Cycling for the EZO team Danny Pace, AKA superman, pulled off a massive front flip and stunned the audience with a series of inverted rotation tricks. Andrei Burton, sponsored by GIANT also set another White Air record with his 360 spin drop from over 10ft. The Secret Wars Graffiti jam taking place over the weekend was finally won by 'Spit Sega' with 'You See Me' runn er up.
