Toyota Big Air podium. L to R: Risto Mattila (second); Antti Autti (first); Kevin Pearce (fourth); and Masatake Yamamoto (third)

Flow's Antti Autti goes big in Japan during the February 10 Toyota Big Air. Autti took home the title and 23-thousand dollars with a clean frontside 1080.

Antti Autti on the big screen as scores are announced. He bagged it, beating Flow teammate, Risto Mattila with his front ten. Mattila went for the switch back ten two times, but couldn't land it cleanly.

The Sapporo International Ice Carving Festival is a freak show. Check out the Sphynx! You're likely to see anything imaginable on display--even a clay rendering of David Benedek.

Frederik Evensen takes a moment to pose with a fan in Sapporo.

Girls gone wild, Japan style. Actually, they went wild later.

Mikkel Bang blocked the hell out of this mini feature in the landing area. Bang went on to win the Nippon Open slopestyle two weeks after the Toyota Big Air.

Everybody's favorite rider, Nicolas Mueller, goes backside 180 in the frigid late-afternoon air.

Mueller and Letterman--who would have thought they looked so much alike? David Benedek lines them up for an Ice Festival snapshot.

Sapporo night. A longer run-in helped riders over the gap at this year's event. IPod still fell victim to the jump when he came up short and got severely rocked.

The 2007 winner, Kevin Pearce, made it to the semi-final round before Autti took him out. It was front ten versus front ten, but Pearce dragged his hand slightly upon landing--and that was the difference.

Pearce and Nicolas Mueller strategize during practice. By the time the event wrapped up, these guys had been in their boots for hours and couldn't wait for the after-antics (which didn't turn out too well).
