Nike ACG Team Blog : News from the snowbard team

Hi everybody! My name is Rudi Kröll and I’m from Mayrhofen in the beautiful Zillertal. I’m riding for ACG and Hot-Zone.tv. And I am also riding a lot with the Ästhethikers.
As most season I started riding on the Hintertuxer glacier. There was not a lot of snow left from the summer but the park was in a really good shape and riding was really fun this fall.
I also took some pictures with Christian “Eli” Eberl from the Hot-Zone.tv. One got published in the last Playboard Magazine (#45).

From the 9^th to the 12^th of November I went to the Pleasure Jam at the Dachstein glacier. I like the event because it’s a start in the season and a lot of people are coming there to have a nice weekend with riding and party. It’s also fun to meet all the shred buddies again and ride together. Bernd Mandelberger did a very good job on the kickers and made the best out of the snow conditions. It was fun riding the pro-session on Saturday and after the 2^nd place last year I took the 3^rd overall place this season.

On December 2^nd I invited my Dad to come to the Air & Style and watch my Brother CK competing. In compare to last years they did a good job. The setup was a lot better for both the rider and the spectator. And the riding level was just amazing! I haven’t seen as much upside down tricks in competitions lately as here.

 

On Friday 19^th I’ll go to Laax for the European Open. They moved the slopestyle up to the glacier this year. So I’m curious how it will be. And as long there is no Pow to shred at all, there is nothing wrong to ride a contest. ;)

Let’s pray for snow!

Rudi
