ARC (short for Austrian Rookie Challenge) is made for the best and motivated youngblood riders. Sent by their sponsors, riders have the chance to be interviewed, filmed and photographed by a variety of snowboard media. It has always been a big request of magazines and companies to push and promote newcomers. That´s why ARC is created.
Each rider has the opportunity to represent himself in the limelight and maybe he gets the chance to appear in the snowboard media industry.
The three best riders have the chance to qualify as a wildcard for Aesthetiker's Wängl Tängl, Rookie Festival and more. This time around, editors of magazines will take on voting to get to a fair result.
