THE FUTURE OF ROCKBOARDING

[fuer deutsch runter scrollen]

Thanks

First of all, many thanks to everybody who participated in very bad weather conditions
in the event 2000! I could not believe, that still 33 diehards tried to tame the rubble field!!
Also, thanks to RED BULL of providing the tent!! Furthermore, I can not imagine how many people
would have shown up if the weather would have been nicer.
Don’t even mention what kind of a chaos it would have been……….!
We had barely enough parking space!

 Also, many thanks to the Pros
It was exiting to have Pros in the competition! Thanks guys!

Schmid Sascha, Pro freestyle skier (13^th place at the Free skiing world championship,
5^th place at the YOZ Wintergames)

As you know, this year the jumping contest was held the first time! Without knowing
if somebody with enough guts would use the jump platform, we put that thing
somewhere on the rubble slope. It was incredible, how many people used the platform.
We enjoyed 360 degree spins, summersault, one foot and on top of it a bare ass jump!!
Please, Guys and Dolls don’t get carried away to far in future competitions!!
For next years event the jumping platform will be moved additional 7 Meters (approx. 21 feet) uphill.
This should prevent the skiers crossing the road which was done on a frequent base at this recent event.

Rockboarding 2001

The event 2001 will be held most likely on July 27 to 29, 2001! Actually, I will go so far
and announce the this event could be called the 1. World Championship Rockboarding
or something like that! As per our knowledge, we are the only ones that have this contest worldwide!
We try to organize a "Rockboard poardy" in the evenings (Friday, Saturday & Sunday)
with DJ’s, shuttle bus, fire boarding in the night, freeride contest etc!!!
Therefore, an organization committee has to be built soon!

Soon more information will be provided! Until then, hang loose and see you later Manuel Muerner

Dank

Zuerst mal Danke an alle, die trotz des wirklich schlechten Wetters am Event
mitgemacht haben! Immerhin versuchten dennoch 33 Hardcores die Geroellhalde
zu rocken! Ich haette dies wirklich nicht gedacht. Danke mal an Red Bull fuer das geile Zelt!!
Wie viele Menschen bei schoenem Wetter gekommen waeren und was fuer
ein Getto dies gegeben haette, stelle ich mir lieber nicht vor!
Ihr wisst, die Parkplaetze gingen grad auf!

Danke an

Danke auch an die Pros
Wirklich geil, auch Profis am Start zu haben! Thanx Jungs!

Wie ihr wisst, wurde dieses Jahr das erste mal ein Jump Contest durchgefuehrt!
Wir stellten das Ding mal hin und wussten nicht recht, ob ueberhaupt
jemand jumpen wuerde! Tja eben, und es war ueberwaeltigend! Unglaublich!
360ies, Loops, One foot, Bare ass jump usw, heee Girls und Boys, nicht zuuu wild!!
Naechstes Jahr wird der Jump mal 7 m nach oben gesetzt!
Ihr wisst, die Skifahrer ueberquerten regelmaessig die Strasse!

Tja, das Event 2001 wird ziemlich sicher am Weekend vom 27. bis 29. Juli 2001 stattfinden!
Ich wuerde dem Ganzen gerne 1. World Championship Rockboarding
oder so sagen! Da wir ja, nach meiner Kentnis, den einzigen Contest weltweit durchfuehren!
Eventuell auch mit Rockboard Poardy am Abend, DJ`s, Shuttle Bus,
Night Fire Boarding, Freeride contest (Fr, Sa, So) usw! Darum wird auch bald endlich
mal ein OK gegruendet!
Bald werdet ihr mehr erfahren! So... Hang loose und bis spaeter, Manuel Muerner
