Schladming welcomes the 2nd QParks Tour Stop
The small yet beautiful former-mining town of Schladming in Austria is getting ready to welcome the 2nd QParks Tour Stop of the season! After a very successful 1st QParks Tour Stop, the anticipation levels for this one are sky high!
Did I say sky high??? Sky level shall be this year’s stunts and tricks, as this year’s Blue Tomato Plan P will be going down the Pro line too! We are expecting the judges’ minds to be absolutely blown away by the bold tricks expected to be performed by the athletes on the day. The course is perfect for many diverse runs and plenty of airtime, giving the athletes the chance to push their limits and show off their skills, offering a great show. The fact that the participants can also collect points for the NASA Cup Tour, World Rookie Ranking, World Snowboard Tour and the FSA Tour sets the tricks level even higher!

A plethora of prizes awaits for the competitors in the three categories (Girls, Men and Groms) available at the Blue Tomato Plan P in Superpark Planai. A total of 2.620€ prize money, another 100€ for each best trick and more than 500€ worth of gift goodies by Anon, Neff, Blue Tomato and Amplifi.
For another year, the QParks Tour is focusing in supporting all young talents and offers free participation to the youngsters. On top of that, a scout from Anon – a leading goggles and helmets maker – will be on the spot with two Anon Material Sponsorships for the upcoming season 2016/17 to be up for grabs for the Groms who will impress him/her the most. The Groms category is for all born after 2001.
