AUSTRALIA'S most watched skiing and snowboarding big-air event is underway, with the world awaiting that one big trick to rule them all.
The Toyota One Hit Wonder Down Under sees the best skiers and snowboarders go head-to-head on a custom-built 27m ramp to produce the best big-air trick in front of the cameras.
Running until September 18, all tricks will be uploaded to the web for everyone to vote for their favourite. The skier and snowboarder with the most votes will share $10,000.
Crowds have already been wowed by moves from Aussie Charlie Timmins, who stomped a personal best double cork 1080.
Votes will be tallied on October 10, with voters going into a draw to win a winter package, which includes a trip to Japan and ski equipment.
