FRIDAY CLIP – DAY 1

2 Sessions and the Invitational Night Rail Jam SKI

The starting signal for the 34. Kaunertal Opening 2019 was given on Friday by the SANE! Crew from Innsbruck with the “SANE! Cash4Tricks” session. At the Jib’n’Skate Playground beside the glacier restaurant, 1000,- Euro was divided between the riders that made the best tricks of the session. At the same session 3 riders had the chance to win a wildcard spot for the “KTO Invitational Night Rail Jam” in the valley, which took place on Saturday evening at the street party. Immediately afterwards the skiers had the same opportunity at the Cash4Trick Session presented by Prime Skiing to get some cash for their best tricks.

After the action on the mountain we continued in the valley directly with the Streetparty in Feichten. The main road through the village was closed to offer the perfect “After-Ride” evening with street food & drinks, live music, DJ line-up and the “Invitational Night Rail Jam”. This year the organizers built an even bigger ramp and for the first time there was also an invited skier field which drove at the “KTO Invitational Night Rail Jam Ski” for another 1000,– Euro prize money. The riders themselves judged each other and decided who took the victory home. The Austrian skier Sam Baumgartner won “Best Trick” Award and the Norwegian Siver Voll was able to take home two prizes at once – the”Best Trick” and “Best Overall” Award.

But what would an opening be without a proper party? The riders as well as all the other party enthusiasts celebrated the beginning of a great winter season at the Club Circle in three different locations. The Pfiff Bar was literally torn down on the first club evening by Mad Simon and Big Belly Boi. As another Friday’s highlight the 90ies Hip Hop Star Afu-Ra delivered a really good show with flowing beats & rhymes until the early morning hours.
