House Boardshop Team Rider Kaitlyn Farrington sent over a couple photos and a video from her private collection of her superpipe podium during this year’s Winter X Games. As you’ll remember, Kaitlyn nabbed a silver medal with an impressive backside 900 and an inverted alley-oop on her winning run. Since then Kaitlyn’s been jet-setting around the world competing and shooting photos, and just recently made it back to her home town of Salt Lake City where she’s enjoying some much deserved down-time before finishing up the season.

Big ups to Kaitlyn for representing The House Boardshop at this year’s Winter X Games 15!

VIDEO: Team Rider Kaitlyn Farrington Wins the Copper Grand Prix

Posted by Adryan on December 12, 2010 in Snowboarding, Team | 1 Comment

House team rider Kaitlyn Farrington was on fire all week. After qualifying second behind Olympic gold medalist Kelly Clark in Thursday’s qualifiers at Copper Mountain, CO, Kaitlyn snuck her way past the ever-dominant Clark in Saturday’s finals for her first Grand Prix win.

Snowboarder Magazine wrote of Farrington’s win: “Easily coming out on top for the ladies at Copper was Sun Valley, Idaho’s Kaitlyn Farrington.  Being able to keep her speed enabled Kaitlyn to perform arguably the two best tricks of the day. Farrington followed up her second hit bs 900 corkscrew with a crippler 720. As if this combo wasn’t enough Kaitlyn added a cab seven to the mix to make the win that much more dominant.”

Check out the video Transworld Snowboarding put together of Saturday’s finals, including an interview with Kaitlyn and highlights from her winning run:

The very first X Games women’s Superpipe medal to ever be presented outside of the U.S. goes to The House team rider Kaitlyn Farrington! And the games continue to be a big ball of firsts as this is Kaitlyn’s first X Games medal. She stomped her last run in the finals which consisted of a bs 540, straight air, a monster bs 900, inverted fs 720 and a cab 540 to finish. Kaitlyn laid it down and was able to top a list of some pretty impressive riders. In the top 6, 4 of the women are Olympians and one, Torah Bright, is the Olympic gold medalist. Great job Kaitlyn! That’s quite an accomplishment, and you’ve earned it.

Women’s SuperPipe finals results:
1. Kaitlyn Farrington, 97.00
2. Torah Bright, 95.00
3. Sophie Rodriguez, 87.00

Halfpipe Olympic Team is Announced

Posted by kater on January 25, 2010 in General | Leave a comment

All stops of the Grand Prix are said and done and we now have a 2010 Olympic halfpipe team for the Vancouver games. For the ladies it’s Kelly Clark, Gretchen Bleiler and Hannah Teter. For the guys it’s Shaun White, Scotty Lago and Louie Vito. There is still one spot left on both the men’s and women’s team and those spots will be announced any time now. (Check tomorrow and I’ll have it posted up for ya) Elena Hight is the next one in line on points for the women, so she pretty much has that one wrapped up, but the men have a three way tie between JJ Thomans, Greg Bretz and Luke Mitrani for the fourth spot. It’s a nail biter, but it’s all up to who the Olympic halfpipe coaches like best.

We also gotta give a shout out to The House team riders Kaitlyn Farrington and Brennen Swanson who competed at the Park City Grand Prix. Kaitlyn pulled down 3rd place in the halfpipe, beating out a couple of the girls that are now on their way to the Olympics. Awesome job Kaitlyn, that’s quite an accomplishment! And Brennen was up at the top of the list giving it what he had, making the Olympians work hard and earn their places. Great job guys. We’ll be looking for you on the 2014 Olympic list!
