Marko Grilc is new Lord of the Ring

The comeback of the legendary Straight Jump format to the Bergisel Stadium was a full success. 11.500 fans witnessed their snowboard heroes at the Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck-Tirol 09/ II. On the perfectly working kicker, that replaced the quarterpipe of last year, Marko Grilc (SLO) ruled the final of four with a Switch Backside 1080 Double Corked Mute Grab and 281 points. He only recently entered the starting the field of 16 riders after the Canadian Sebastien Toutant had to cancel because of an unfortunate injury. Peetu Piroiinen (21 years/FIN/268 Pts.) placed second and Andreas Wiig (28/NOR/251 Pts.) came in third. Swiss rider Iouri Podladtchikov (21/SUI/54 Pts.) finished in
fourth. Local rider Werner Stock (22/AUT) from the Zillertal finished the event successfully in sixth place, closely follwoed by Elias Elhardt from Germany (21/Oberstaufen). The three times winner of the Air & Style, Stefan Gimpl (30/AUT) from Leogang and the Austrian Gigi Rüf (28) were kicked out of the contest by Peetu Piroiinen and Elias Elhardt in the first round. In the Rookie competition that consisted of 12 riders, it was the 18 years old Seppe Smits from Belgium who went home with the win. His reward: a spot in next year’s starting field of 16 riders at the Billlabong Air & Style 2010.

Rider in Innsbruck

After a long time of waiting it's finally on: The Billabong Air & Style riders list arrived at Innsbruck. To mark the start there was a warm up session at the Stuabi Zoo today, where the Billabong Air & Style jump was recreated to offer the riders the best preparation before the official training at the Bergisel Stadium.

Werner Stock and Elias Elhardt were quiet impressed by the cool set up and the perfect conditions. Beside some lines in the powder, nearly the whole crew was spotted when they were shredding the kicker.

Swedish sound from The Hives and Berlin party sound from K.I.Z.

You can expect two musical highlights. The Hives will rock the Bergisel Stadium as the headliner. In 2007 the Air & Style veterans delivered an outstanding performance in Munich. Trademark of the Swedens: always perfect outfits and a powerful appearance on stage.
The guys from Sweden will get support from Berlin. K.I.Z. will come to Innsbruck with their Rap/Rock sound. K.I.Z. - that means provoking lyrics paired with dark humor and irony. The four-headed Hip-Hop formation, who released their new album “Sexismus gegen Rechts” this year in July will cause a stir at the Bergisel Stadium on the 5th of December.

The starting field

The chance of a Big Air Contest at the legendary Bergisel Stadium attracts the stars of the snowboarding-scene. Peetu Piiroinen (FIN/21) – Swatch TTR World Tour Champion 2009 and 2nd placed of the Billabong Air & Style 09/I will be at the start. One of his competitors is Torstein Horgmo (NOR/22) who also gathered Air & Style experience before. In 2007 he made the 3rd place at the Nokia Air & Style in Munich. For the two guys from Austria Werner Stock (AUT/21) and Gigi Rüf (AUT/28) the contest will be a home match with lots of fans from their country. The US-American Chas Guldemond (USA/22) will be at the start as well. “Bucking bronco”, so his nickname, was able to seal the 2nd place at the end of the Swatch TTR World Tour 08/09.
