So far, the season at Schladming-Dachstein has gone well for park designer Pavel Stratil. In four consecutive build-up phases the funpark once again turned into the Superpark Planai. Thus Pavel was looking forward to the setup checkout by the Blue Tomato team riders and you can tell that, prior to the film and photo shoot, the 27 obstacles were polished: “During the season we got heaps of compliments for the creative setup. Therefore I’m extremely excited how these guys will shred the park.”

So it was the February 14, 2017, when Felix Widnig, Clemens Schattschneider, Martin Hauck, Tim van Dyck, Harald Gietler, Michi Graf and Valentin Knill met up at Superpark Planai to put the setup to the acid test. After the session, Blue Tomato Team riders Felix Widnig (snowboard) and Martin Hauck (freeski) shared their thoughts: 

First and most importantly – did you have fun at the park shoot?

Felix: “Definitely! The day was nice and we had quite a blast. The follow lines were also pretty strong!”

Martin: “I completely agree with Felix: bluebird, a high riding level and lots of stylish tricks were shown. In total, a full success, I’d say!”

What’s your opinion about this year’s setup of the Superpark?

Felix: “I think, the bowl in the end section of the park is very special and it makes a lot of fun to ride it. My personal highlight of the shoot happened also exactly there: I did a blunt on the barrier while Harald Gietler took a ride through under me. But I also really enjoyed hitting the double kinked rail.”

Martin: “The jib section of the park is rad. Like Felix, I was stoked about the bowl in the end section. Another obstacle on which you can get really creative on is the wallride. The crew really did a good job here.”

From a rider’s perspective, what makes the Superpark Planai special?

Martin: “Thanks to the lift that is so close by you can take numerous runs in just one day, for one. Another point that makes the park special is the vast variety of obstacles. The setup is rather made for beginners and intermediates, as for advanced riders this means that you can really have fun and chilled sessions here, which in between the trainings is a very welcome and necessary change.”

Felix: „The jib lines are definitely more creative compared to other parks. The options of combination are almost endless!“

This sounds and seems like the Superpark Planai and the shape crew lead by Pavel passed the test with flying colors. Have a look at the snowboard and freeski edit and feel the action going on amongst the lines and in the end section bowl!
