The weather was less than ideal with heavy winds all day that ultimately ended the comp before the final rounds. The judge&amp;#8217;s decisions were made on the impressive riding that took place during the semi-finals. The inclement weather was also enough to cancel the invitational QP Jam scheduled for the evening.\\n&lt;p&gt;The girls started things off in the morning competing against each other and the wind to simply stay on course. With 21 riders at the start of the day competing for three spots on the podium the riding was tops. Through the contest, standout riders were ones that held nothing back and stomped the big tricks. When it was all said and done Jenny Jones took the prize.\\n&lt;p&gt;The guys took to the hill in force. With a total of 42 riders qualified at the start of the semi-finals there was no holding back, hammers being dropped all over the course today. Sevens were a standard with rotations going up from there. Several riders chucked double back flips. One rider even had a trick so unique that judges just simply named it after him, the Allesandro flip. The New Zealand riders were not joking around while representing their home turf.  There were un-expected standout riders but it was the consistent riding of Mason Aguirre that took the cake and the no. 1 spot on the podium.\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Top 5 Mens:&lt;\\/b&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;1.\\tMason Aguirre, USA\\t&lt;br \\/&gt;2.\\tAlessandro Boyens, Germany&lt;br \\/&gt;3.\\tDan Brisse, USA&lt;br \\/&gt;4.\\tStef Zeestraten, NZ&lt;br \\/&gt;5.\\tEric Willet, USA\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Top 5 Womens:&lt;\\/b&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;1.\\tJenny Jones, Great Britain&lt;br \\/&gt;2.\\tClaudia Fliri, Austria&lt;br \\/&gt;3.\\tHana Beaman, USA&lt;br \\/&gt;4.\\tTorah Bright, Australia&lt;br \\/&gt;5.\\tSina Candrian, Switzerland\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TWS Webcasting Live Coverage of the Burton NZ Open&lt;\\/b&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;TWS has partnered up with the fine folks at Burton to bring you a live webcast from the Burton New Zealand Open at famed the Snow Park resort just outside the small town of Wanaka.
