With its 1.800 meters, the Blue Tomato Kings Park in Mühlbach am Hochkönig is most likely the longest snowpark of its kind. The British park designer Karl Sanderson and his shape crew have done an outstanding job in the last few weeks in decorating the majority of the 1.800 meter long playground with new obstacles.
So it was time for our snowboarders and freeskiers to check out the park at the Hochkönig! And they did a good job!
On December 29th 2012, a team of filmmakers and photographers and some of our teamriders went to the Hochkönig to put the park’s rails, kickers and boxes to the test. The results of the session at the Blue Tomato Kings Park were tons of fun, freestyle action and fresh shots, which were compiled to a Snowboard Clip and a Freeski Clip.
Have a look at the pics and the clips and check out our teamrider Flo Galler, Diz Pichler, Dominik Wagner, Miriam Hoffmann und Sebastian Huber in action!

Frontboards are cool. But you know what’s even better? Frontblunts.
Our snowboard teamriderFlo Galler knows this too and he loves them so much, he even spins 270s out of them!
On his favourite resort, Dachstein glacier, he will show you how to do a great FS Blunt 270 out.
He is snowboarding for 10 years now and he knows what he is talking about when he says that this is a really cool trick.
Do you want to learn that yourself? You should better check out his trick tip then!
Here are some cool pictures from Flo Galler in action:
Our Skateboard Pro Philipp Schuster likes to take matters into his own hands. No, not what you’re thinking right now, he is a classic do-it-yourself-guy, meaning he builds his own spots, teaches kids, takes his own pictures and he also draws! In a special case, he drew his own T-Shirt designs!
And because Philipp is not only incredibly talented in skateboarding, but also with a pen, his sponsor Blue Tomato treated him to his own signature line!
All the designs are drawn by hand by mister Schuster himself! And because he is a sustainable guy, too, the white shirts are made from 100% organically grown cotton! That’s good for the environment and for your skin, too!
But pictures say more than a thousand words, so check out a few pictures here and then proceed to the Blue Tomato Shop to purchase the noble cotton-yarn!
You are tired of your FS 180s off straightrails? Step your game up and learn more!
Our teamriderClemens Schattschneider snowboards for a pretty long time now, and so he wants to share his experience with you. In fact, he wants to explain you the FS 360 out of a donkey rail.
So before he was going to Portugal for some nice surfdays, he showed us how to knee down, approach the rail gently, jump on it, initiate the spin and pop off the back foot.
Sounds simple? Then watch the video and try it on the mountain:

In Austria, five actual stores add to the customers’ online shopping experience and choice. Now we moved across the border into Germany! On Monday, 5 November, three stores opened their doors in Bavaria, in the Southern part of the country: two shops are based in Munich, home to a huge boardsports community, and another store opened in Rosenheim.
Gerfried Schuller, founder of Blue Tomato, is stoked on going international: “All three new Blue Tomato Shops are located in really good business areas. We are looking forward to providing our new customers with the biggest selection of boardsports and freeski brands in Bavaria and offering them the much respected Blue Tomato service.”
Snowboarders, skaters and freeskiers in the area probably already know the locations of the new shops as former facilities of the legendary Goodstuff store. “I wanted to retire from the retail business and was looking for someone to take over the stores”, says Stephan Schächtl, founder and owner of the Goodstuff GmbH. “With Blue Tomato I found a successor that lived up to the two most important criteria: Blue Tomato really embodies the boardsports spirit and takes on all employees. Even our store brand Goodstuff which involves apparel and skate equipment will be continued.”
Like other Blue Tomato shops, the new stores will keep their individual character while getting the local customers involved: We will closely work together with the local community and listen to their suggestions and needs.
All three shops have already opened their doors and on Saturday, 17 November, we invite everybody to join the official opening party! Snacks, competitions, an indoor miniramp and much more will be waiting for you at the Isartor store in Munich. The entire Blue Tomato team will be there to welcome you from 12 p.m. on!
You want to make her heart beat faster? With this trick you will do this with ease.
