For the 12th time, Stuben at the Arlberg in Austria is hosting the biggest Longboard and old school snowboard event in the world. Snowboarding legends from the US, Japan and Europe will join the crowd of three generations of shred heads, riders, media and industry people, to celebrate the spirit of snowboarding. Among them “Godfather of Freestyle” Terry Kidwell, Mike Ranquet, who brought skate style to snowboarding, Japanese shred granddaddy Ishi Ishihara and many more.
The infamous Longboard Classic race will start 2.408 meters (about 7,900 foot) height on the Albonagrat. After the Le Mans mass start it’s all about getting the 1001 meters (3,200 foot) downhill back to the village, far from any kind of groomed slopes, where winners will be crowned in 3 different categories (Men / Women and Old School). To round the event off, there’s also the possibility to test longboards as well as new freeride equipment from selected brands.
Check out photos, facts and more at www.longboardclassic.com If you’re planning on going, attendees can be sorted by post code, city or names – making it very easy to car pool etc.
