Trentino Rookie Fest is on!

Posted on March 3, 2016November 20, 2017

Monte Bondone welcomed 65 riders from 9 different countries, for the 5th edition of Trentino Rookie Fest. The snowboard contest that brings together the world’s future freestyle snowboarders, kicked off in a white winter Paradise!

This morning all riders had a lot of fun and showed their skills during the training. Monte Bondone Snowpark offered the best variety of obstacles: down rail, box, pooljam, rail, two kickers from 6 to 12 meters and fun pyramid at the end of the course.

For the next days the major challenge for rookies and staff is the weather! In fact, due to a very bad forecast, the entire event schedule is probably going to change. But not tonight because Night Rail Jam Session, the street top speciality of freestyle, is confirmed! The Cash For Trick is a very special rail jam session, every trick is € 5 valuable for a format always appreciated by the participants!

Nekoma is the home resort of last season’s Grom Girl Rookie Finals’ Winner: “Reira Iwabuchi”. Reira was the forerunner of the contest and now all kids are pumped. Jam session training jam, two run best count and final stage… The winner of the day!!

Isak Ulstein And Emmi Parkkisenniemi Win The Oslo Rookie Rookie Fest 2016

Posted on February 29, 2016November 20, 2017

The sun over the perfectly shaped black line in the Oslo Vinterpark was giving it all – and so did 75 young snowboarders at the Oslo Rookie Fest 2016 from 26th to 28th of February. The Black Yeti’s first ever slopestyle stop in the Norwegian capital was highly awaited – Norway has been one of the most represented countries in the World Rookie Tour the past few years. During the NATIONAL level World Snowboard Tour contest on past Saturday, Rookies stemming from eight different countries proved their Black Yeti skills showcasing massive tricks. Norwegian rider Isak Ulstein left the greatest impression on slopestyle course. Best girl became Rookie Emmi Parkkisenniemi from Finland.

Isak and Emmi brought home full-paid tickets for the pinnacle event of the World Rookie Tour – the 2016 Volkl World Rookie Finals in Ischgl, April 2016, snowboards from Sims and Never Summer and of course the famous Black Yeti trophies. Parallel to the Oslo Rookie Fest, the X Games Oslo were going down in the World Winter Capital. After practice and competition, the Rookies watched the best riders of the world competing in the X Games Oslo Finals in Halfpipe and Big Air.

Several athletes of the X Games Oslo have previously competed in the World Rookie Tour, which is providing the unique chance to help the next generation of pro snowboarders to experience their first dives into international contests and develop their competition skills. Besides exercising and watching high level riding, the Rookies enjoyed a snowskate session with the local Asker Snowboard and Freestyle Club pushing the Rookies skateskills on snow.

Netherlands is the Best Team of the 2016 World Rookie Fest

Posted on January 15, 2016November 21, 2017

World Rookie Fest, the most famous youth snowboard freestyle event in the world, took place in Livigno, Italy, at Mottolino Fun Mountain, with 155 riders from 18 different nations. The largest edition ever was a big success despite the unstable weather conditions, so that qualification day had to be cancelled due to heavy snow storm and strong wind.

However, for the final day the organizers could use a window of less wind and made contest with two runs for each rider in each category, and the international young snowboarders were able to push the competition at a high level.

Black Yeti proved once again that the future snowboard pro riders are just around the corner. After Norwegian team’s nine consecutive victories as Best Team, and the last year victory of the Swiss Team, another team wins, Netherlands, with two riders at the top of the Rookie Boys’ rank and a second place in the Grom Boys’ category.

“Luck of snow and bad weather didn’t stop the event thanks to the energy of a great staff, motivated riders, an enthusiast crew and the shaper team of the Mottolino Snowpark.” stated Marco Sampaoli, WSF Vice President and event organizer “We are very happy for this successfully edition, the largest but also the most difficult edition ever”.

Dutch young gun Erik Bastiaansen took the first place in the Rookie category with a solid run. He impressed the judges and scored 90.03 points in his second run with Cab10 indy on the jump and Cab180 to 50-50 3 out over the a-frame. Erik wins ahead of another dutch rider, Niek Van Der Velden, and the Australian “Party King” Tom Harveyson.

The high number of Groms was an impressive element: 55 of 155 participants were under 14, showing a powerful renewal among the new snowboarders. Best Grom of the 2016 World Rookie Fest was young Swiss rider Elias Rupp, wins with a stylish run: Switch Back7 mute to cab 180 in 50-50 back 180 out from the a-frame. Casper Wolf from Netherlands and Samuel Camenzind from Switzerland.

On the girls’ side, Finnish rider Henna Ikola left 15 other Rookie Girls behind her by landing a huge Backside540 indy on the big kicker to a stylish cab 180 to 50-50 on the box. In the rest of Scandinavian podium two Norwegians: Nora Frisvold and Hanne Eilertsen.

Henna Ikola

Tina Steffensen from Norway showcased a great performance as best Grom girl with a huge Backside360 tail on the big kicker to 50-50 out from the a-frame, ahead of Luan Salgueira from France and Emma Gennero from Italy.

“Probably it was one of the most difficult competition I’ve directed ever. Due to bad weather for 4 days in a row we were forced to change the program more than one time, change course, but I never give up. The working team and Mottolino Snowpark were always ready to follow my reserve plan and in the end, we did it. Thanks to riders, coaches, parents to the patience, and a special thanks to my team” stated Gian Luca Zanetti, WRF Race Director.

All the riders competed for prestigious awards including three all-inclusive tickets for the 2016 Volkl World Rookie Finals in Ischgl and two for the 2016 Trentino Rookie Fest in Monte Bondone. All the athletes on the podium are qualified for the 2016 Volkl World Rookie Finals!

Black Yeti congratulates all the riders who showed great style, battling the slopestyle in such hard weather conditions.

2016 Oslo Rookie Fest is Coming Up

Posted on December 24, 2015November 21, 2017

Following last year’s success, the Black Yeti will again stop by in the world winter capital for the 2016 Oslo Rookie Fest. This time, the Norway crew is stepping it up: The World Rookie Tour stop will go down at the same dates and place as the X Games Oslo – from 26th to 28th of February 2016 at the Oslo Vinterpark. Being able to watch the pros, all rookies will get free tickets to the X Games Oslo.

But that’s not all: besides participating in a slopestyle contest, the rookies are able to try out many amazing winter sport activities at the Oslo Winter Festival, owned and run by SAHR, which are the same folks as behind The Arctic Challenge, World Champs and X Games Oslo.

“This winter, we combine both grass roots and world class sports by staging the X Games Oslo and Oslo Winter Festival. Besides watching spectacular performance at the X Games, everyone is invited to join in what Norwegians love: hanging in the snow and being active! The Oslo Rookie Fest is somewhere in between the grass roots activities and a top-level competition. The young and talented Rookie riders will make a solid bridge between newcomers and established pros“, says Henning Andersen, CEO of SAHR.

Oslo Vinterpark

The slopestyle contest will be staged as national level competition as part of the World Snowboard Tour. The organizers are happy to host the event in the home country of the reigning World Rookie Champion Mons Røisland. The Norwegian stop is of big contribution for the World Rookie Tour in which many Scandinavian riders take part every year.

“Our ambition is to create the dream weekend for the rookies, to come to the world winter capital, learn new tricks and progress the riding… get a taste of the international scene and go straight from competition to enjoy watching the best action sports athletes in the world at the X Games Oslo. We hope this can inspire many rookies to take the next step towards the professional world of snowboarders, as many other World Rookie Tour riders have done before,” comments Henning Andersen.
