White Style 2015: The field of riders thickens

 
We have already drawn attention to the action-packed floodlight event. Now we have received further information from the press office. The closer the event gets, the denser the field of drivers becomes.

International scene greats represented
2015 year again some scene greats travel to Leogang. From France comes Antoine Bizet, who won last year's contest with a great double backflip, among other things. His compatriot Franck Paulin also accepts the challenge of this special event. For Poland, Mr. Tsunami Backflip Szymon Godziek will start and Daryl Brown will fly in from Great Britain. For Italy, Torquato Testa and Diego Caverzasi are two great talents. The Czech Jakub Vencl wants to really attack again after the injury misfortune of the last season. The Nordic countries are represented by the Swede Elof Lindh and the Norwegian Adrian Tell and for Spain Xavier Passamonte holds the flag high. The longest distance is covered by Carson Storch, who comes over the pond from the USA. Local hero Eric Walenta will represent the host country Austria. The German field of drivers is also strong this year. With Patrick Schweika, Nico Scholze, Steffen Graf, Max Mey, Simon Kirchmann and Lukas Knopf, six riders from Germany will be at the start.

Current schedule
After a day of practice on Thursday, January 29, the qualifiers will take place on Friday from 4:30 p.m., where the top ten riders will secure their tickets for the finals starting at 8:30 p.m.. In two runs they have the opportunity to convince the jury to give them the necessary points for a good placement.
All those who want to get on the bike themselves with so much action can try out fat bikes for the first time this year at the White Style. In the Big (Shr)ED - Fat Bike Battle, a dual slalom, the aim is to master a flowing slalom course as quickly as possible. The starting signal is directly after the qualifying of the White Style on Friday, January 30, at 6 pm. The qualifying lasts for about an hour until the fastest fat bikers compete against each other at around 7 pm.
