Volcom Stone’s PBRJ will hit new hills in Europe this winter, with 19 stops from Spain to Finland! This year they also introduce an Open division with cash prizes at each stop. The top 3 riders in every division and the best Girl at each stop will qualify for the European PBRJ Championships in LAAX, Switzerland on April 10, 2010.

At the champs, there will be free accommodation, more prizes to win and a chance to ride away with one of 4 plane tickets to the 2010 US champs at Mammoth Mountain (30.000$ prize purse).

The Peanut Butter and Rail Jam is Volcom’s amateur snowboard contest series. The goal of the series is to give something back to the kids. Deviating from the established way of running snowboard contests, they put heads together and came up with a fresh format. Instead of having three rails in a row, they put them side by side to create a rail zone. This boosts the energy level and fun nature of the contest because everyone is together, riding, hiking and watching in a big group.

There are 4 divisions; 15 & under, 16 & over, Open and Girls. Winners from every division go home with loads of prizes while the Open division winners receive prizes as well as cold hard cash. Plus Electric also rewards the “Gooeyest move of the day” with money.

The contest runs in a jam format so there are no scheduled runs. You can hit each of the rails as many times as you want during your 20 minute heat. Judges only score tricks you land, so you don’t need to worry about falling. The event is absolutely free to enter, on a first come first served basis, and boasts tons of free prizes, free drinks, free food and Peanut Butter & Jam sandwiches! Also, everyone who enters walks away with some prizes!!

See you on the hill! more info on Volcom PBRJ
