O2 World Rookie Fest in Czech Republic – Day 1

The first day of the O2 World Rookie Fest in Czech Republic hit the half pipe in Klinovec with an amazing 2 hours session dominated by the japanes riders.

Due to how an unexpected poor condition and seven days of hot temperature, the competition move to the resort of Klinovec and the format changed into an halfpipe competition on friday and a jib session on saturday, including in the program an amazing photo shooting around the city of Bozi Dar. The final ranking of the event will result from the combo of the pipe jam and the jib session assigning a ticket to the 4Star Swatch TTR Total Fight and 10 spots to the Voelkl World Rookie Fest in Austria.
