At the VW Big Air contest, the biggest, the highest ramp ever built in any dimension. This snowboard ramp provided the longest 'artificial' jump ever with about 16 meters in length and we could go and watch the weekend of 9 and 10 November! As I saw it being built a few days before, we had to see it for ourselves at the kick-off on friday night.
And? Well, I have to say: a very impressive setting, a great crowd and it almost felt like an winter edition of a rock festival. Because the great thing about this particular scene and this sport is that while the boarders jump, a LIVE DJ drives their adrenaline higher and sets the crowd on fire.
Maybe an idea for Chokri or Herm when they look for new opportunities: what about Rock Winter Werchter or Pukkelpop Freeze?
Antwerp based champion Seppe Smits managed to win Saturday the contest in the presence of 10,000 snow board a fans who gathered at the Waagnatie harbor.
Congratulations Seppe and thanks for the great initiative!
