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!

Do you want to get technical on rails? What about a little BS Nosepress, garnished with a FS 180 out?

Our teamrider Dominik Wagner is snowboarding for nine years, and since that day he rides the board as often as he can.  He is a generous guy and that’s why he decided to share some wisdom with you!
When you can do the backside nosepress real safe and you are well-grounded, then try this trick tip.
But only with the second tip from him – don´t forget the sunscreen when you’re boarding on a glacier!

Look at these pictures and see what he is talking about!

A few weeks ago, the last days of the season in the Horsefeathers Superpark Dachstein were already in sight. But we knew: it was time again for a big Blue Tomato team shooting!

Beautiful weather, the sun is burning down but our lovely Dachstein always keeps us cool for beeing active for some beloved spring snowboard sessions!

So we decided to go for a huge one and invited our great Blue Tomato Snowboard family of team riders.

The following team members arrived: Ville Uotila, Dominik Wagner, Flo Galler, Rudi Janda,  Georgi Mihaylov, Clemens Schattschneider, Mathias Weißenbacher, Anna Gasser, Paz Gruber, Clemens Millauer, Roli Scharmer, Franki Wörndl and Vanessa Waldenhofer.

We of course invited a photographer, Severin Wegener, to join us on the mountain and capture some of the shown action:

But we didn’t stop here, we also brought our guy for moving pictures, Thomas Kesselbacher, with us and chained him in front of his computer afterwards to provide you with a sweet little edit:

On the past weekend, the QParks Tour Finals went down on the Dachstein Glacier! Both Freeskiers and Snowboarders had to fight not only each other, but also the bad weather conditions. Because of wind, rain and fog, the planned slopestyle contest on the Pro Kickerline couldn’t be held, so the guys from QParks decided to move it to the Pro Railline instead. Our Teamriders brought home FOUR places on the podium! Congratulations to Roli Scharmer‘s first place and Flo Galler‘s second place in the Snowboard Men category! For the skiers, Martin Hauck and Daniel Walchhofer were successful in the Men and Rookie category and claimed a third place each!

And because the Horsefeathers Rock the Top was the Final of the QParks Tour, the Overall winners were crowned, too! Huge congratulations go out to Flo Galler for winning the Overall title Snowboard Men! Martin Hauck just missed the top spot and got second in the Freeski Men, just like Daniel Walchhofer did in the Rookie Overall Ranking, big congratulations to both of you, anyway!

Roli Scharmer (4th), Viktor Szigeti (5th), Georgi Mihaylov (9th) and Dominik Wagner (18th) also placed well in the Snowboard Men Overall ranking, so did Max (8th) and Tobi (15th) Grünwald in the Rookie and Lisa Veith (5th) in the Girls Overall ranking. Alex Moser secured a 7th place in the Freeski Men and Stefanie De Menech the 11th place in the Freeski Girls Overall ranking.

Congratulations again to all our Teamriders and we are already looking forward to next years QParks Snowboard and Freeski Tour!

Trotz des miesen Wetters war die Stimmung am Samstag  super, vor allem als sich die Blue Tomato Teamrider Marc Swoboda und  Clemens Schattschneider die ersten beiden Plätze sicherten!

Die Volcom Jungs heizten mit cooler Musik und lustigen Kostümen ein. In abgespacten Astronauten-Verkleidungen waren die Jungs ein echter Hingucker. Auch zahlreiche Rider ließen sich vom schlechten Wetter nicht abschrecken und zeigten beim Contest was sie drauf haben!

Für die Rail Jam wurden auf dem frisch geshapten Park drei besondere Obstacles aufgestellt:  eine Riffel to Downrail, eine Kinked Box und eine Elbow Riffel Rohr Compo mit einer Up Pole darüber. Der Contest wurde eingeteilt in Girls, Boys unter 15, Boys über 16 und Open (Pros, Legends).

Mit dabei unsere Blue Tomato Teamrider Marc Swoboda, Roli Scharmer, Clemens Schattschneider und Dominik Wagner. Auch dabei, aber diesmal auf der anderen Seite des Contests, war Flo Galler, der die Rolle eines Jugdes übernahm. Voll konzentriert und mit einem Klemmbrett unter dem Arm, verfolgte er mit Adleraugen das Geschehen.

Nach der Qualifikation wurde der Grill beim Volcom Zelt angeworfen, wo man sich for free richtig den Magen vollschlagen konnte! Neu gestärkt rockten Marc und Clemes schließlich das Finale und sicherten sich so den 1. (Marc) und 2. Platz (Clemens)!

Auch zwei Mädels fanden sich unter den Ridern: Isy Szumovski und Klara Dinold zeigten ihre Girl-Power an den Obstacles.

Nach dem Finale und einem super spannenden Contest wurde zum Ende die Siegerehrung vollzogen. Mit coolen Preisen und einem Ticket nach Laax zur European PBRJ Championships am 16. April endete schließlich der Tag für die Gewinner. Ein Highlight war auch der Preis für den “coolsten Fahrer des Tages”, den, kaum zu glauben, ein 50-Jähriger Contest-Teilnehmer bekam. Voll motiviert und körperlich in Bestform, zeigte er den Jungs, dass man auch in diesem Alter richtig stylisch über die Kinked Box kommt.

Und hier seht ihr noch die Resultate:

1. 1. Platz: Marc Swoboda
2. 2. Platz: Clemens Schattschneider
3. 3. Platz: Seppi Scholler

Kategorie Girls:
1. Isy Szumovski
2. Klara Dinold

Despite the miserable weather, the atmosphere at the Volcom Peanut Butter Rail Jam in the Blue Tomato Snowpark Stuhleck was great, especially when our Blue Tomato teamriders Marc Swoboda and Clemens Schattschneider achieved the victory! 

The Volcom guys heated up the mood with cool music and funny costumes. In spacy astronaut suits the guys were a funny eye-catcher. Also lots of motivated riders didn’t mind the bad weather and showed their best tricks on the contest setup. 

For the rail jam special obstacles were built up in the fresh shaped park: a riffle to down rail, a kinked box and an elbow riffel rail compo with an up pole.  The judgement was separated into four categories: girls, boys under 15, boys over 16 and open (pros, legends).

Represented at the contest were our Blue Tomato Teamriders Marc Swoboda, Roli Scharmer, Clemens Schattschneider and Dominik Wagner. Also at the contest was Flo Galler, but this time as a judge: with a clipboard under his arm, fully concentrated, and eagle-eyed he observed the contest.

After the qualification the Volcom guys fired up the grill at their tent, where all food was for free! Full of energy Marc and Clemens then rocked the finals with their sick tricks and finally won.

Also 2 girls joined the contest: Isy Szumovski and Klarand Dinold showed their girl power on the obstacles.

After the finals and an exciting contest, the award ceremony was held. With cool prizes and a ticket to Laax for the European PBRJ Championships on April 16th, the day ended for the winners of the contest. One of the highlights was the title of the “coolest rider of the day”. Hard to believe, but this title was given to a 50 year old man. Fully motivated and physically in top form, he showed the boys that also a rider at his age is able to ride the kinked box with massive style!

Die Würfel sind gefallen! Beim neunten und letzten Tour Stop der Nike 6.0 Stairset Battle Tour am 4. Februar 2011 im Blue Tomato Snowpark Stuhleck, Österreich wurde der Neunte und letzte Fahrer für das Finale gefunden. Vor rund 300 Zuschauern battelten 33 Teilnehmer bei einer Night Session am Stairset um das letzte Ticket für das große Finale beim Nike 6.0 Air & Style.

Das Stairset wurde diesmal mitten im Blue Tomato Snowpark aufgebaut. Mit einem eigenen Schlepplift bietet der Park bis zu 8 Rail-Obstacles in einer Line, sowie Flutlichtbeleuchtung für Sessions bis 22 Uhr. Wie immer war das Niveau bei diesem offiziellen TTR 2-Star Event sehr hoch. Für zusätzlichen Anreiz sorgte die Tatsache, dass das Final des Stairset Battles im „Cash for Tricks“-Format stattfand und die besten 10 Fahrer die €2.000 Preisgeld unter sich aufteilen konnten. Dementsprechend hagelte es Bangers!
