ICER AIR 2005 presented by JEEP Secures Street Closure Permits
Jonny Moseley Hosts San Francisco’s Inaugural Urban Big-Air Competition
September 29, 2005
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (September 22, 2005) - ICER is pleased to announce that following a unanimous decision by the San Francisco ISCOTT board to grant the necessary street closure permits for the event, ICER AIR 2005 will take place as planned on Thursday, September 29th from Noon -4 p.m. ICER AIR 2005, the inaugural big-air competition to be held on one of San Francisco’s world-renowned steepest streets, will feature 20 professional skiers and snowboarders in what promises to be one of the most exciting events to hit the streets of San Francisco.
“We are extremely pleased with the outcome of the ISCOTT hearing,” said Jonny Moseley ICER spokesperson. “We feel that together with the city of San Francisco we have adequately addressed any concerns and look forward to hosting a safe and spectacular event.”
The ski jump will cover 800 downhill feet on Fillmore Street, stretching from Pacific Heights to Cow Hollow, with spectacular views of the San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge. More than 10,000 cubic feet of snow will be used to create the jump and launch athletes over distances of up to70 feet, and to heights reaching 15 feet in the air.
In response to previous concerns raised by the community and the city, ICER has added numerous security guards, volunteers and 45 San Francisco Police Officers to staff and secure the event. In addition, to mitigate the loss of parking due to street closures, ICER will provide area residents with free, secure valet parking and in some cases, complimentary shuttle service.
The big-air invitational features some of the most talented athletes on the mountain today. Athletes include: Kye Petersen, Sean Field, TJ Schiller, Rory Silva, Tanner Rainville, Andy Mahre, CR Johnson, Simon Dumont, Brent Meyer, JJ Thomas, John Jackson, Aaron Biitner, Jimi Tomer, and more to be announced soon.
Athletes will be competing for more than $100,000 in cash and prizes. ICER AIR 2005 sponsors include: Jeep, SSX On Tour, ICER SPORT, SKI by Jonny Moseley, Bataleon Snowboards, Sweet Helmets, Freeskier Magazine, San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau, CamelBak, Predator Wear, 560 Gallery Culture, Zig Zag Bail Bonds, Snowbomb.com, SPX Clothing, Hi Ball Mixers and City Visions Entertainment.
ICER AIR will donate 100% of profits from ICER AIR 2005 to non-profit organizations working to help victims of the devastating Hurricane Katrina. The Charity partner for ICER AIR 2005 is CHARITYSMITH.
related link on why this event is on a thursday as opposed to a few sundays ago- it was delayed because the residents didnt like it. hah!

Damn I wish I could've gone, I planned on going before when it was on a saturday but I just couldn't get today off.
I'd have to say that moseley is on the left side, up higher than everyone else, black and white hat with the black arm band. _________________ I once saw a fork lift pick up a pallet of forks, it was way too literal for me. |

Nice Scott.
I have to say though, SF is the epitomy of a "Butter Face". From across the bay or from a hill in town or atop a skyscraper, it is soo beautiful but street level it is a fricking zit faced fat chick. _________________ Steal My Book
