Uli Köhler — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 10:18:00 +0000

Last weekend, pretty much every German snowboarder met up at the Nebelhorn/Oberstdorf to shred the new superpipe for the first German Pipe Championships in about 80 years. To cut straight to the chase Christophe Schmidt and Conny Bleicher are the new German champions, and Linus Birkendahl took home the groms’ title. The video should quench your thirst for more information on this event.

This is the women's champion Conny Bleicher.

Follow The Pipe

Anna Langer — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 09:58:47 +0000

With all that great dumpage, the parks on the Kitzsteinhorn are in perfect shape now – inlcuding the brand new pipe!

And to celebrate that, Mellow Parks came up with the truly unique event format Follow The Pipe on February 6th. The riders follow each other through the pipe equipped with a head cam and the fans of the Kitzsteinhorn Mellowpark Facebook page will judge the best run and best produced movie. And the best part: this event is open to everybody!

So if you dare to drop the 5.5m high and 130m long pipe, grab a buddy and take your chance to rock the pipe with him or her for 2 hours, filming each other with a helmet cam by Camterminal.com. The videos will then be uploaded to the Facebook page and the ones with the most “I like”s can win amazing prizes like a helmet cam, Nitro headphones, t-shirts and other goodies.
