WHO WE ARETeam Buller Riders (TBR) is a freestyle skiing club based at Mt Buller, specialising in the Olympic disciplines of mogul skiing, slopestyle and aerial skiing. We have been in operation since 1986.

TBR is set apart from other programs by our genuine passion for the disciplines we operate in. This passion drives our relentless attempt to refine our program structure and coaching technique. Our unique focus on the maximised all round development of our athletes combined with a strong club history of professionalism, cutting edge training programs and close relationships with the worlds best coaches and athletes is the cornerstone of our continued success at all levels of our sport.

Our focus continues to be based on developing the technical skill platform our athletes require to improve, become the best skier they can be and to achieve personal best results in competition.

We create a professional, inclusive, understanding, fun and supportive club environment to achieve this platform.

Our coaches are the best skiers on the mountain with many past competitors who excel at creating a learning environment that inspires our athletes to be passionate and motivated to improve every day.

Our success over the years is testament to the quality of the programs and support that we offer our athletes.

TBR’s phenomenal achievements include Australia’s four Olympic aerial skiing medals (Alisa Camplin & Lydia Lassila), Australia’s first skiing X-Games Gold medal (Anna Segal), 5 World Champions, 10 Olympians & too many World Cup medals to mention.

TBR forms an essential part of the Australian Winter Sports Olympic Pathway, closely linked with Ski & Snowboard Australia (SSA) and the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia (OWIA). These relationships provide our athletes with access to some of the best program design, coaching and training facilities in the world.

In addition TBR:OFF SNOW operates programs aimed at supporting and extending TBR’s on snow training at Mt Buller. All athletes are encouraged to take part in as many off snow programs as possible, such as:

• Water Jump• Acrobatic/Trampoline• Strength/ Fitness and Agility training• TBR:MOGUL & GROM Freestyle skiing camp in USA

TBR also operates a number of world class events to ensure our athletes have the opportunity to test their skills in fun, friendly environments. Leading events include:

TBR:2015 NEWS & INNOVATIONSProgram innovation is a huge focus for TBR. Over the past couple of seasons we have been working to further develop TBR:GROM with the aim of creating the best and most widely recognised base level technical skiing program in Australia.

We have a strong yet simple focus as a freestyle skiing cub. Our guiding principles are as follows: • Maximise the individual potential of all athletes in the program• Foster a fun & supportive club culture• Manufacture and maximise a grass roots competition focussed talent base to feed into the SSA/ OWIA athlete pathway

By focussing on developing technical skiing drills, on snow and off snow targeted program structures and hiring qualified, supportive and enthusiastic coaches with exceptional communication skills and an enduring passion for the sport of freestyle skiing we think are well on our way to achieving our guiding principles. Of course we realise that this journey of program innovation and improvement is never ending and as such we invite all parents and athletes to continually suggest any improvements that they see fit. Our Program Manager, Andrew Pattison’s email, phone or office door is always open to all productive suggestions.

LEADING THE WAY IN MULTIMEDIATBR has long been an innovator at Mt Buller when it comes to promotion and showcasing the spectacular skills of our athletes and coaches.

We have strong relationships with the best in the business such as leading photographers Mark Ashkanasy and Andrew Railton, who have shot many memorable images with the TBR athletes. When it comes to vision, SSA TV’s Lucas Wilkinson will be down to film our athletes with his amazing RED cinema quality camera. Also don’t forget in 2014 we were the first club program in Australia to purchase a drone quadcopter which captures some great footage and unique angles for training feedback.

GUEST COACHING FROM THE BEST!TBR is honoured to announce that at different stages of season 2015 a number of our high performance friends will be dropping by to assist our athletes with their training goals.

Whether it be learning to shred an edge with Ski Cross Olympians Katya Crema and Anton Grimus or perfecting your skills in the bumps with 2015 World Championship medallist Britt Cox we’re sure all involved will benefit greatly from the experience.

TBR would like to thank Mark Adams Real Estate, leading the way on Mt Buller for the past 18 years, for their continued support in providing direct assistance to the champions of tomorrow.


TBR:TRAINING FACILITIES

TBR:ACROBATIC FACILITY

The spectacular jumps skiers are able to perform on snow does come with risk. We believe that as a club we must be proactive in reducing risk and ensure a safe learning environment is in place for our athletes.

To create a safe learning environment TBR runs a number of off-snow skill development initiatives aimed directly at improving fundamental skills, necessary to achieve success in the disciplines of moguls and freeskiing. The long-term success of mogul and freeskiing athletes has been strongly correlated with aerial and acrobatic training from an early age and throughout the teen years.

The development benefits of early and sustained acrobatic training are clear and proven. Consistently TBR athletes who are involved in these initiatives have significantly improved their competition results with some even being selected into National Teams and invited to attend prestige freeskiing events.

The TBR:ACROBATIC FACILITY, located in the sports hall at Buller Central includes:• 3 full competition level trampolines complete with safety pads• Double-mini and single-mini trampoline• Multiple safety mats

TBR skiers will get opportunities throughout the season to use the TBR:ACROBATIC FACILITY with acrobatic sessions being scheduled into day-to-day training. The facility is also a great resource for poor weather days.

TBR is serious about maximising the long-term athletic development of our athletes and recognises the need to ensure world class training facilities to ensure progression.

ON SNOW FACILITIES

In 1997 Buller Ski Lifts (BSL) constructed a world cup specification aerial site. This offers world class training for aerial skiing, and also serves as an excellent jump site for mogul and slopestyle athletes to perfect their aerial tricks.

BSL will again allocate the main fall line of Chamois for a full length mogul training & competition course.

The unpredictability of the weather at Australian resorts has often limited our use of these two exceptional world class training facilities.

This unpredictability should now be a thing of the past in a “normal” winter, with BSL and the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia teaming up to install three fully automated snowmaking machines on Chamois in 2013.

There are no guarantees when it comes to “Mother Nature” and good old Mt Buller’s temperamental climate but, based on average snow fall data, we should have both facilities open on Chamois for the first day of the TBR program!

This is one of the most significant developments for TBR athletes in the club’s history.


TBR:GROM HEAD COACH - JOSH LANEY

TBR is set apart by our genuine passion for the sport of freestyle skiing. This passion drives our relentless attempt to refine our program structure and coaching technique. We believe in the importance of a holistic all-mountain skiing skill set to ensure maximised all round athlete development – we aim for all TBR athletes to be able to ski any mountain in any condition. Our unique focus on the maximised all round development of our athletes combined with a strong club history of professionalism, cutting edge training programs and close relationships with the worlds best coaches and athletes is the cornerstone of our continued success at all levels of our sport.

TBR:GROM is TBR’s entry level ski training program for competent 9 – 13 year old skiers.

TBR:GROM aims to instill the technical skiing skill set younger skiers (aka Groms) require to maximise their future athletic potential.

TBR calls this technical skiing skill set the TBR:PLATFORM.

TBR:GROM is a fun, base technical skills focused program for young skiers who have successfully progressed through the ski school ranks and are ready to learn how to take on all that the hills have to offer. TBR:GROM will expose skiers to the technical cornerstones of all mountain skiing, mogul skiing and freeskiing.

TBR:GROM is designed to foster skiing & acrobatic skills that will enable skiers to move into the more specialised TBR:MOGUL and TBR:FREESKIING programs and beyond... The transition from TBR:GROM is entirely the choice of individual skiers and is encouraged to be based on an individual’s future aims and skiing goals.

TBR has previously stated the importance of aerial and acrobatic development, both on and off snow. To complement on snow development, TBR:GROM will push skiers to the next level of aerial and acrobatic ability utilising the TBR:ACROBATIC FACILITY at Mt Buller.

TBR:GROM skiers are encouraged to test their skill and gain competitive experience by entering the following competitions:

• Junior National Mogul Championships – Mt Buller• Victorian Interschools Mogul Championships – Mt Buller• ABOM Mogul Challenge - Mt Buller• National Interschool Championships – Mt Buller• Mt Buller Junior Slopestyle Event

TBR:MOGUL coaches have competed at the highest levels of competition in Australia and overseas, and have the insight to best guide our athletes to success. Coaches are also all Ski and Snowboard Australia freestyle certified and maintain their skills through constant exposure to the most current techniques being taught by the Olympic Winter Institute mogul skiing program.

TBR:MOGUL is formally recognised in the SSA Olympic athlete pathway and will prepare mogul skiers for competition and potential selection to make the transition into the following mogul skiing development programs:

• New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS) program• Olympic Winter Institute (OWIA) program
