A week of freestyling went by and we are stoked about it. Although the weather conditons weren’t always the best and one or the other rider had a hard time gettingng to Flachauwinkl everyone was happy in the end - not only because of the booze at the legendary party. Some of them got a share of the prize money worth USD 60.000. A rail setup, a quarter and three massive kickers - that was the playground for the riders at Spring Battlle 2015. Teaming up, the guys and girls had four and a half days to shoot their best run and hand it in to the judges. Find their decisions below and to get an idea of what those guys dealt with just watch the videos yourself.
With the new contest format Spring Battle keeps its spirit of innovation. Seppi Harml, Absolut Park manager, about the event: “I’m really stoked that everything worked out that well. The riders enjoyed the new format, our follow cam jam session, and we saw some great tricks this week. We’re looking forward to next year’s edi?on of Spring BaCle here in Absolut Park Flachauwinkl.” You can find all further information here www.absolutpark.com.
