2007-2008 International Volcom PBRJ: Hochkar Results
Second European Peanut Butter and Railjam Championships to be held on April 12th in Grindelwald, Switzerland
Austria - Perfectly blue skies greeted the riders at the Volcom Peanut Butter & Rail Jam held in the Senoner Park Hochkar on the morning of the 22.3.2008.The night before saw some snow, but thanks to Mike Aflenzer and his Shape Crew the park was in perfect shape.
The Setup consisted of a curved box, a kinked box and a downrail with a sweet gap in front of it. Shortly before 10:00 am the first jib-hungry kids showed up and, after registering, proceeded to snack on all the free candy and beverages and started the first practice sessions. Shortly after 12:00 we had app. 70 registrations in the three categories 15-, 16+ and girls and the contest went off!
Although we had some clouds during the day, the weather was holding up and the vibe got better and better with every heat. During those 20min heats we didn’t use the lift, but our own „Wadln“(austrian dialect for our legs), so the free Volcom BBQ came just right to get all that energy back into the riders and proved that „Würstl and Schnitzel“ IS real organic powerfood!Hmmmm Schnitzel…although our friend Jebrane couldn’t make it this time, there were no leftovers.
The goodriding level made sure that the spectators had a good time too, and 3000 Watts from the amplifier sent metal riffs all through the entire ski resort.
Many Spins were thrown on and off the obstacles, butIn the end Roland Wagner dominated the 16+ category with Winfried Lietz and Seppi Scholler on his heels and took home a brand new lib tech Jamie Lynn promodel. In the Kids‘ 15- category Jakob Stubner took the top spot and a hot Nitro Snowboard with Alexander Mernacher finishing second and Alex Pils coming in third position.
In the girls division Vanessa Waldenhofer stuck more and harder tricks than Jasmin Reischer and Lisi Wurzenberger which got her the first spot! Therfore Vanessa also scored the title „best girl“ and is, as the top 3 of the boys and men, invited to the euro finals in Grindelwald/ Switzerland.
At this point, I want to give thanks to all those who helped make this contest happen:
Sport Senoner, Young Mountain Marketing, Q Parks, Mike Aflenzer and his shape Crew, Simon „stiegl me up“ Stiegler, Jerome „last intern standing“ Redeker, Nick „internally brand new“ Momper, Andi Hammer and Dani Krenn reppin‘ it up in austria, Electric , Nixon, Vans and Lib Tech Snowboards
