Nikita has announced their USA and European Nikita Chickita contests for 2008 – make sure you pen these must-do events in your diary!

Saturday 9th February 2008

Nikita have confirmed the date and resort for the 3rd Nikita Chickita USA event. Mammoth Mountain’s Unbound South Park will be hosting the all female event on Saturday February 9th, offering up-and-coming female riders the chance to compete for cash or a one-year Nikita sponsorship. It is going to be the best so far with the Mammoth Mountain park crew building and maintaining the park.

The competition is open to anyone and is sure to bring out some new faces to push the level of girls’ riding. Past winners have included Marie France-Roy, Iris Lazzereschi, Erin Comstock and Bev Vuilleumier. This year the podium is open for the next big thing – perhaps that could be you!

This year there will be two divisions, pro and amateur. Sponsored riders should enter in the pro division for a chance to win the $2,500 prize purse. Riders in the amateur division have a chance to win the grand prize of a one-year sponsorship from Nikita Clothing. Registration is limited to the first 40 girls in each class, so register early!

Registration for this event is totally free, and is open now on the Signmeup website.

Saturday 5th – Sunday 6th April 2008

Nikita Chickita Europe will take place for the second year running in Serfaus, Austria. This time around it’s happening the first weekend in April.

Nikita Chickita Europe will be held in association with Onboard and Cooler Magazines, Red Bull and Electric goggles.
