The set-up has been finished so you can look forward to awesome conditions for grabbing styles and moves at the seventh Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam 09! Due to illness Eero Ettala will not start at the Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam this year but an equal substitute: Matevz Petek (SLO) who won the third place last year will ride instead of Eero and promises to give his best!

Thanks to the good snow conditions and the working efforts of the shaping crew, according to Bernd Mandlberger the contestline comprises a kinked-Butterbox, two big kickers with 12m and 18m, a funbox with 13m and a wallride. Furthermore there are two kickers with 10 and 13 m. That looks very good!

Locals such as Stefan Gimpl, Christian Kröll, Flo Mausser, Herby Thaler and Julia Baumgartner, infamous riders of the international snowboard scene like Elias Elhardt, Marko Grilc, Ville Uotila as well as Cheryl Maas, Sarka Pancochova, the Swiss Markus Keller and Stefan Maurer as well as Conny Bleicher raise the riding level of the event to a peak. For Conny Bleicher and Julia Baumgartnerthe event is the perfect scene come-together. The this year’s lucky winners won’t only ride for joy and reputation, but also for a considerable prize money of 15.000 USD as well as a special awardfor the best-trick performance on the finale day and a three week’s all-inclusive surf trip to Bali.

Apart from the 20.000 Dollars price money the participants will also compete for some special awards like a 3-week-surftrip to Bali, which includes the flight and a stay at the famous Balicamp!

Over the past few years, the Dachstein Glacier with its famous Atomic Superpark became a mecca for the domestic and international freestylescene. It is considered as one of the best and most innovative snowparks all over Europe, and has its doors open in spring, summer and autumn.

Like always, QParks – parkdesigner Bernd Mandlberger and his shape crew will get the best out of the Setup for this special happening. From channel gaps and tree bonks up to wallrides and various boxes the set up offers lots of premium-obstacles for all riding levels.
