Event History
The showdown at the end of the season will traditionally take place at the Absolut Park in Flachauwinkl! – Already for the sixth time the Spring Battle will take place in the Absolut Park. This year the invited and qualified riders can collect some extra TTR points beside the € 8,000 prize money. Everyone who was already there can approve it: Even the audience gets its money worth at the Absolut Park Spring Battle. Spring temperatures provide a good mood on the mountain and international live acts will assure a relaxed Spring Break atmosphere at the party afterwards!
Beside the massive Spring Battle Kicker, the shapers of the Absolut Park with supervision from Ex Pro Max Rehrl and Seppi Harml will build a Surprise Obstacle like in the last years. The audience and riders still remember last years Wall Ride Tree Jib Combo, the„Bowl to Wall Ride“ in 2006 or the Slide Box over the Park Container in 2005.
This year one has to qualify via „Friends Events“ like the Run to the Hill in Obertauern (February 16th, the final of the Snow Park Tour or the Absolut Park Event „Pop ’n’ Drop“ (February 23rd-24th). There will be no open „Amateurs Quali“ before the event. But a lot of international pros will be present and we are all curious about who is going to win the rodeo at in Flachauwinkl after Mone Monsberger, Marco Grilc, Stefan Gruber, Martin Sandberg and Ville Uotila.
More riding expected in the evening at the legendary Spring Break: Live acts will be the Roots Rockers Sound System and Emil Bulls Quiksession.
Cowgirls and Cowboys – don’t miss the Spring Battle!
The first Spring Battle took place in 2003 and was won by Mone Monsberger. In 2004 Marco Grilc became man of the mountain followed by Steve Gruber 2005. The first rider who scored TTR ranking points was Martin Sandberg in 2006 followed by Ville Uotila 2007.
The crowd witnessing the event is growing from year to year, with approx. 500 people 2007. The set up is always one of the most creative and progressive setups of the season, and the riders are stoked every time. The 2008 Spring Battle willl be the 6th year the event has taken place planned to be continued for several more years.
