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!

You are tired of your FS 180s off straightrails? Step your game up and learn more!

Our teamrider Clemens 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:

The Burton 13 Premiere in Blue Tomato Shop Wien was off the chain!

The 15th September saw the Premiere of the awesome new Burton film, ’13′, in the  Blue Tomato Shop in Vienna!

To celebrate the occasion, we held an Urban Snowboard Straightbox session right out side the shop! And boy did you guys throw down!

And for those more technically inclined, there was the binding mounting comp, where you could show off your talents with a screwdriver!

On top of all that, the Leberkase semmeln went down a treat, as, of course did the sweet Burton Goodies that were up for grabs!

We had a great time, the film was awesome, and you guys brought one hell of an atmosphere!

Check out the pictures below!

Our teamrider Villa Uotila enjoyed his holidays in Finland in  a meaningful way – with training

Here you can a read a small summer update from him:
“Hopefully the summer is rolling well for everybody. I spend my summer just in Finland this year but it’s been worth it for sure. Always nice to spend some time at home after a long season. I have been pretty busy a whole summer. Mostly I have been training my ass off this summer. We’ve got the privat physiotherapist for the finnish national team so it has been helping a lot.  Beside of training there’s of course a lot of other sport I love to do like tennis, paddle tennis, cycling, trampoline, etc..  Yeah, and of course there has been a bunch of nice partys like Summer Sound festival. It was the largest electronic music festival in northern Europe. Goood times!!
There’s just a month left and then I’m back in business on the mountain. It’s just crazy how fast the whole summer went but actually I’m ready to go already.”

Here are some nice shots from his vacation:

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:

Spring is everywhere! In late april, most lifts had already closed down. But a small group of snowboard-enthusiasts couldn’t resist to use the snow that still covered most of the mountains. Supported by Blue Tomato, they hosted a spring session right below the parking lot of the Dachstein glacier at “Eagle Mountain” with a Live DJ, BBQ, Beer and of course lots of shredding! They built a kicker, a corner and two raillines and there were filmers and photographers to capture the madness that was going on.
A lot of Blue Tomato Teamriders were involved, Flo Galler, Paz Gruber, Roli Scharmer, Franki Wörndl, Vanessa Waldenhofer and lots of friends shredded every obstacle in sight! Continue reading 'Eagle Mountain spring session'»
