<div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Motivated vibes prevailed from the very beginning of the day at Snowpark Kitzbühel. After the first few training runs it became clear, that the setup of park designer Franz Lechner didn’t only challenge the skills of the riders, but also fuel their creativity. The contest-line consisted of two jumps, followed by a jib feature – which consisted of a flat/down box, an up/flat rail and a jump. And, last but not least, the riders had to shred another jump with two take-offs. The riders gave all their energy and set a high riding level from the very beginning. And in between runs the participants could chill out and relax with lunch and great beats at the Chill Area.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sick Tricks</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All shredheads went straight to the point: <strong>Federica Sola (ITA)</strong> made the first place in the category Ladies and impressed the judges with a backflip, followed by a 50/50 boardslide and a frontside 360 frontside grab.<strong> Amber Fennell (GBR) </strong>made the second place, followed by <strong>Emma Lantos (AUT)</strong> on 3rd place.
