BURN SNOWPARK RALLY 2011: All missions accomplished!

Posted on May 6, 2011 No Comments

Perfect locations and creative pictures: After the finals in Leogang (AUT) this weekend, the BURN SNOWPARK RALLY 2011 in cooperation with Völkl Snowboards announced: “All missions accomplished!”

The crew of Florian Model, Arne Klaas and Christoph Schwarz (GER) won the final mission “contrasts” and got a nice surf trip to France with the Völkl team.

The crews who had won this winter’s three online missions came together at the big finals of the BURN SNOWPARK RALLY 2011 in Leogang (AUT) from April 7th to 10th. On Friday, after a relaxing first night in the Millinghof, the participants initially checked out the locations together with professional photographers Lorenz Holder and Alex Papis, pro snowboarders Michi “Stani” Stanschitz (AUT) and Michi Schatz (AUT).

Thanks to the great support by the Leoganger Bergbahnen, each team had quickly found a location. Bluebird on Friday and Saturday gave them the opportunity to realize their pictures at perfect conditions. Due to the inventive and photographically impressive results of their mission, it was extremely hard for the jury to choose the winner.

The judges particularly praised the picture shot by snowboard winner Florian Model, because he realized the mission “contrasts” in a highly creative way: “The picture contains a fantastic layout with beautiful lines, which accentuate the contrasts very well. We liked that they didn’t hand in the photo in black and white, so that the blue shadows are still visible in the background. Moreover, the crew made innovatively use of the obstacle, which is actually a kicker. And the rider’s got a lot of style!”

The Polish crew with Adam Chrabaszcz, Michal Gren and Marek Kaczkowski took second, misusing a small chapel as an obstacle. Third place went to David Kurth, Carlo Schmid and Felix Höckel from Switzerland.

The award ceremony took place at the “Outback” bar in Leogang on Saturday evening with DJ Juwee of the Wax Wreckaz delivering the appropriate sound. The ideal conclusion to this genius weekend was the public Bagjump session on Sunday, at which all of the participants and friends of the BURN SNOWPARK RALLY had fun on the Bagjump in the snowpark of Leogang together.
