World Rookie Finals In Ischgl

Intern McIntern — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 09:38:20 +0000

The World Rookie Finals have previously crowned a whole list of names that later went on to dominate the highest levels of snowboarding. So it would be worth remembering the names Jonas Bösinger and Katerina Vojackova, they’re going to start popping up all over the shop. Last week they took top honours in their age categories at the World Rookie Finals in Ischgl, where standards were ludicrously high. Just check the highlights reel – these kids are laying down runs that would have challenged at the X Games not all so long ago. And they’re not just hurling through the course, there’s style in there too. They’re 15 for flip sake. If rookies need doubles to get on the podium, it’s safe to say the future’s bright for slopestyle competition. Watch out for these guys at our Onboard Send Off Session very shortly.

Völkl ‘One Night Stand’ ispo party

Anna Langer — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 10:00:17 +0000

ispo is just around the corner once again and that means with it comes a whole flood of opportunities to get wasted and ruin your good reputation (if you ever had one…) One of them is the annual Völkl One Night Stand party in Munich’s infamous 8 Seasons.

A.G.Trio, the fm4 soundpark band of the year 2010, capturing the charts, festivals and dance floors of this world with their unique mixture of sound. Dirty electro house with nasty and catchy vocals, all presented by the tree Austrians within an intoxicating live-act.

Since 1999 stereophonix, a DJ-crew from Regensburg, are well-known for good music, good mood and memorable moments. A mixture of fine selected mashup, hiphop, funk and electro songs make them a musical superlative…

Perfect parameters for a wild party night and an appropriate ispo take-off.

Party on!

Snowpark Rally 2011 kicks off!

Anna Langer — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 10:00:45 +0000

With unstoppable dumpings all over the Alps, it’s time for you to get out there and start shooting again, for the alternative photo challenge by Völkl!

Go riding with your friends, be creative and fulfill the Völkl pros’ missions to win amazing prizes – that’s the super easy concept of the Snowpark Rally. The first mission is already online – watch the video message to get briefed on the mission, execute it at the snowpark of your choice, shoot a creative pic and upload the result to snowparkrally.com!

Always keep in mind though, that originality and fun are more important than technical photography skills or professional equipment!

The first mission will end on January 17th, 2011, with the next two to follow one after the other. An expert jury of Völkl riders and professional photographers Lorenz Holder, Sami Tuoriniemi and Klaus Polzer will judge the uploaded pictures.

Each mission’s winning crews will be invited to the end-of-season Burn Snowpark Rally finals in Leogang, Austria, from April 7-10th 2011, where the crews will take on the ultimate mission together with some Völkl pro riders and professional photographers.

The victorious crews will join the Völkl pros at the All Inclusive Völkl Team Week 2011. Additionally, there’s a load of non-cash prizes up for grabs. For the first time there will also be a public award for the pic with the most “I like” hits on Facebook.
