Revolution Tour
The Chevy Revolution Tour is a snowboarding competition series created in 2005 by U.S. Snowboarding to bridge the gap between grassroots level and elite snowboarding competitions. The sole purpose of the Chevy Revolution Tour is to help young riders make the jump to elite level competition and to progress the sport of snowboarding.
The Tour
[edit]Featuring halfpipe, slopestyle and snowboardcross the tour, which is hosted annually by top resorts across the country, is the main vein for qualification into the Chevy U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix series. Competition is open to all riders 13 and older for halfpipe and slopestyle and 15 and older for SBX events.
In addition to the Chevy U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix, the Chevy Revolution Tour also serves as a qualifier for the US Open, FIS Junior World Snowboarding Championships, USASA Open Class Nationals and the Visa U.S. Snowboarding Cup – a World Cup competition held annually in Lake Placid, NY.
Also on the line is $10,000 in prize money, plus the top male and female junior riders receive an invitation to join U.S. Snowboarding's Project Gold Team, an opportunity to train with U.S. Snowboarding at its annual summer camp.
