Nine Knights - Day 1 and 2
Photos by Lars Scharl
The first inspection of the Suzuki Nine Knights Big Air Line & Freeride Trail was yesterday forenoon and all the guys seemed to be quite stoked. Timo Pritzel said, when he first saw the Big Air line: “Are you kidding me? Man that’s huge!” Remember he was the guy trying to jump the whole step up step down set at the first Slopestyle comp in Saalbach back in the day, and he also jumped the Berlin wall.

Anyway, the weather was just great yesterday and today, the first training session was done yesterday afternoon and today’s forenoon/early afternoon meant a time off for the riders to have the first sunset shooting in the evening, with an impressive result. We've only seen Lars' photos so far, the other photographers such as Mattias Fredriksson, Harookz, Stef Cande & Markus Greber will showcase their best shots on Saturday at the after party. There are categories in the photo contest such as best big air, trail riding, black & white, lifestyle, Wildkogel shot, as well as most creative angle.
