White Style slopestyle comp on January 30th in Leogang

Dec 23, 2008

The fourth anniversary of the one and only winter mountain bike slopestyle competition - the White Style - hits Leogang on Friday, January 30th. Invited riders from all over Europe make their way to Austria to show their skills on snow.
25 riders from about ten countries join the challenging slopestyle competition. Among them are big names like the last White Style winner Trond Hansen, Crankworx Whistler winner and Kona Clump team rider Andreu Lacondeguy, Nissan Qashqai Challenge overall winner Lance McDermott or Adidas Slopestyle winner Sam Pilgrim:

Niki Leitner AUT
Andi Brewi AUT
Mischa Breitenstein CH
Pascal Breitenstein CH
Damjan Siriski CZE
Andreu Lacondeguy ESP
Lluis Lacondeguy ESP
Yannick Granieri FRANCE
Pierre Edouard Ferry FRANCE
Benny Korthaus GER
Amir Kabbani GER
Rob J GER
Andi Wittmann GER
Marius Hoppensack GER
Nick Pescetto ITA
Trond Hansen NOR
Martin Söderström SWE
Linus Sjöholm SWE
Lance McDermott UK
Grant Fielder UK
Mike Smith UK
Sam Pilgrim UK

Furthermore, three wildcards are given to very special guests that will be announced soon.




The whole track is not only shaped out of snow, but also pimped with some nice wooden obstacles. The course is located right next to the Schantei ski-lift station, which is pretty close to the town centre of Leogang. The riders have to qualify on Friday afternoon for the big finals, which take place a bit later, at 08:30 pm. The ten finalists complete two runs to determine the winners of 4.000 Euros overall prize money. Afterwards a hard rocking party will heat up the riders as well as the fans until the early morning.


The Bikepark Leogang, CamelBak, ONE BIG PARK and Kona are proud to present Europe’s best riders, big tricks, a lot of airtime, as well as a great after party.

So don’t miss the White Style on January 30th in Leogang!

Thanks to Markus Greber and Lars Scharl for the great photos.

I saw a write up from somewhere on last years, and it sounded sick.

Good lineup as well, should go off.

Hope they've got a better theme tune this year...the dodgy Euro hip-hop was cringe worthy
