There’s just a few days until the fifth anniversary of the White Style freeride competition presented by Kona heads to Leogang on Friday 29 January.
Riders confirmed as attending include Darren Berrecloth, Cam McCaul, Jamie Goldman, Martin Soederstroem, Sam Pilgrim, Sam Reynolds, Yannick Granieri, Amir Kabbani and Jan Toth, just a few riders that take the unique winter slopestyle challenge.
Kona Clump team rider Grant Fielder promises to present a course built out of snow that is even better than last year. The start section now has two different parallel drops (a high one and a lower one with a kicker on it), followed by two doubles made completely of snow, but also featuring a second wooden kicker for the ones who prefer a shorter transition to throw down big tricks.
The second half of the course begins with a step-up to roller and kicker step-down combination, just like a fruit bowl, which is not too big, but provides the perfect speed for a more challenging satellite dish step-up step-down combo that guarantees some more airtime for big tricks.
The most spectacular obstacle is the final big hitter, which marks the end of the course: A huge snowboard big air-style kicker shooting following riders into Leogang’s sky.
