Red Bull Snowscrapers Webcast On Fuel.TV

With so many energy drinks out there vying to be the world’s number one extreme sport beverage, it’s difficult to distinguish who’s on top.  Well Red Bull definitely keeps it on strong with some of the most innovative events in the extreme realm.  Especially with the CRASHED ICE competition or the FLUGTAG event.  You can’t get more extreme than those. 

Red Bull continues it’s Snowscraper phenomenon with Frank Wells and Mike Bettera from Snow Park Technologies constructing a specially designed step-up hip feature that caters towards the riders’ creativity and the spectators desire to get as close as possible to the action. A 90-foot tall in run will launch riders off a carefully designed ramp towards a massive 80-foot long, 45-degree spine and landings on both the right and left side allowing for a multitude of trick variation.

If you can’t make it to the Big Apple on the 5th of February, not to worry because FUEL.TV will have all the coverage for you online during their live HD Webcast. 

Athletes include iconic Olympic Gold Medalist Shaun White, freestyle / backcountry legend Travis Rice and ultra-progressive phenomenon Pat Moore. World-renowned Burton riders for the groundbreaking event include Kevin Pearce, Mikkel Bang, Danny Davis, Kohei Kubo, Kazuhiro Kakubo, and snowboard legend Terje Haakonsen. Other confirmed riders include Nitro’s Andreas Wiig, DC’s Torstein Horgmo, Forum’s Jake Blauvelt and Greg Bretz, along with Rome rider Bjorn Leines and Ride’s JJ Thomas.

EVENT FORMAT
Red Bull Snowscrapers will utilize a jam session format for both the preliminaries and finals. In this format, a rider is neither dismissed nor defined by a single run or fall—rather, the athlete who consistently lands difficult and creative tricks with skill and style throughout the entire jam session is deemed the overall winner.
