Nock’n’Rock Recap – Jib-Party in the Nocky Mountains

 

On Saturday, February 24, the Nocky Mountains were rocked once again at the 6th stop of the QParks Tour! At the Nock’n’Rock, numerous motivated freeskiers gathered at the Snowpark Turracher Höhe and fought an awesome freestyle battle – only the weather didn’t quite play along.

When the first riders arrived in the park, it actually looked like it would be a perfect contest day with bluebird weather. It seemed that the fog that had covered the obstacles before was clearing away. However, after the first training runs it became clear that the fog would stay and that the contest line would have to do without kickers – Safety first! That meant that the contest was spontaneously relocated to the rail line and now consisted of 5 different obstacles on three hits. On the first hit, the riders could choose between Rainbow Box, Flat Tube and Flat/Down Rail. The following features were a High Tube and a Down Rail. The participants were unimpressed by the spontaneous change of plans and showed the spectators and the judges some sick runs on the rails!

Jib-Kings & Queens

The freeskiers showed the spectators their jib-skills. Mathias Lavrijssen (BEL), Leon Ernhofer (AUT) and Nicco Huber (AUT) made it onto the podium in the category Freeski Men. Mathias secured his victory with a Blindside 270 out and a 270 out Frontside 450 out. On top of that, he won the Best Trick Award and thus 100€ with his second trick. “It’s an awesome feeling to have won. I didn’t expect it. It’s just a great feeling!”, the Belgian comments his victory.

In the category Freeski Ladies, Victoria Ressel (AUT) took the first Place before Ajda Tkavc (SLO) and Greta Staudacher (AUT).

Luis Resch (AUT) won the category Grom Men. Samuel Cherlias (AUT) finished second and Marvin Baumann (AUT) third.

After-Contest-Party with cake

At the end of the contest, all participants were treated with a sweet surprise cake! Not any cake, but a big fat QParks birthday cake – The snowpark veterans of the Quality Parks are celebrating their 15th birthday this winter season and thus “15 years for Freestyle”.
