I have to drive 25min. to Winterberg, but this park isn´t good. Bad Trailbuilders who build what THERE want. You have to pay 30€ for short Trails and a long Time waiting for lifting you up(Sunday´s around 30-45min) The Event is perfect. Meet alot of Friends, Riders and FREEEAAKS but there are so many Parks, where you can go for better Ride!
The Name of the 14 times German DH Champ is Klausmann not Kalusmann! KLAUSMANN!
Just kidding he is living legend and way more years in the Business than most of the Users on this site.
I'm there!!! (as always) Pretty stoked about all the pro riders who suppose to show up. Germans know how to throw a party "BEER & SAUSAGE" !!!! LOVE IT!!
Spot the guy in a pink bunny costume and get a cookie
