Secure your snow equipment before the winter!

7/5/2020

Due to the high risks associated with Covid-19, many Australian snow equipment importers did not bring into the country their usual levels of stock for the 2020 Australian winter. If you need to purchase equipment, be sure to do it early to avoid disappointment.

Team Buller Riders has a sponsorship with leading Australian snow brand Skiers Junction.

Black Crows
Skiers Junction imports one of the progressive ski brands on the market – Black Crows.

We recommend Black Crows skis for TBR All-Mountain, Slopestyle and Grom athletes.

All Mountain/Slopestyle Ski Models: Camox Junior, Camox Birdie Junior, Captis , Captis Birdie, Camox , Camox Birdie
Grom Ski Models: Junius, Junius Birdie

Sweet Protection Helmets
Skiers Junction also sells Sweet Protection Helmets, which has a great range from World Cup athletes to the weekend warrior out with their kids and everyone in between.

How to Purchase?
To purchase any of the gear listed above, visit the find a dealer link on the Skiers Junction website http://skiersjunction.com/find-a-dealer/

Dalbello Boots
New for 2020, TBR has partnered up with Dalbello ski boots!

This is exciting for the program due to their large range of models, that suit the most amount of athletes. The clear majority of Australia's best freestyle athletes currently use Dalbello.

To view a video on how important the right ski boot is, check out this video from TBR Mogul Head Coach Hamish Cox.

We strongly recommend consulting a TBR coach before purchasing a new pair of ski boots.

TBR:Water Jump Information - February to April 2020

29/1/2020

TBR values the importance of building a strong aerial skill base on water and trampoline to maximise on snow performance and minimise the risk of injury. For these reasons, TBR strongly encourages all riders to attend water jump training.

The importance of water jumping cannot be understated.

These days to be competitive at any level of the sport, from Interschools to the Olympics, it is impossible to achieve success without investing in accumulating as many water jump days as possible each year.

TBR water jump sessions are not just about getting upside down for the first time before trying it on snow. Water jumping is the safest way to build your jumping skills from the ground up.

TBR: Summer/Autumn Water Jump Training

First timer free day
Implemented in Spring 2011, again to encourage new athletes to give Water Jumping a try, any TBR athlete who has not jumped at the facility in the past can receive coaching for free on their first day.

Note: First timer days can only take place on set days. This
is due to avoiding peak usage times at the facility, as extra
time is required from coaches to help new athletes.

March 28 & 29

TBR:Overseas Camp a great success

28/1/2020

The 2019-2020 TBR Overseas Camp a great success, with plenty of power, good times and athlete progression.

TBR strives to deliver leading edge training services o developing athletes and the addition of a live in physiotherapist this year proved extremely useful in ensuring our athletes could get the most out of their training.

With 19 ski days including 8 days on the Thanes mogul course, 6 days on the FIS spec Sunnyside mogul course and 3 skills course sessions at the Utah Olympic Park, it’s safe to say the training was physically demanding. Despite this massive training schedule - our Physio successfully managed the individual training loads and recovery resulting in zero days on snow missed due to fatigue and soreness from training!

Check out a video edit of the camp below to see how much fun the TBR athletes had, and how well they are training!
