WRT 2012 Monte Bondone – 1st Day Half Pipe Training from Board.tv on Vimeo.
The trainings of day 1 inaugurate Monte Bondone halfpipe, built in the last week mainly with artificial snow and with a big effort from the local shaper crew. After the trainings and a few hours of relax in the SPA, the partecipants took part in a walk in the wood with torches together with the world famouse “Black Yeti”. Day1 ended in the snowpark for a night session with a suggestive view on the valley of Trento. During the session a Best Trick Rail Contest was organized and French rising star Boris Mouton resulted the winner.
