Cycling: At the "Kona International Rookie Games" from August 6th to 9th, 2015 in the Bikepark Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, the focus is once again on young mountain bike talents.
As part of the only MTB youth festival in Europe, talented youngsters get the opportunity to gain their first racing experience in a relaxed atmosphere in the disciplines downhill, slopestyle, pump track and dual slalom. The "Kona International Rookie Games" are dedicated to promoting young talent in the gravity area, but with the "Ladies Camp" and the "Father & Son" Challenge, mothers and fathers who are enthusiastic about biking don't miss out either.
Bike holidays for the whole family and a relaxed racing atmosphere for the youngsters - after the successful premiere last year, Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis invites all young talents and their families to the only MTB youth festival in Europe in the largest bike park in Tyrol this year. For one week, everything revolves around young bikers in the mountain bike gravity disciplines and the world champions of tomorrow.
Learn from the pros. This is the motto of the “Rookie Training Days”, which are on the program from August 3rd to 9th as part of the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis MTB Festival. In an exclusive training camp, young talents can not only hone their driving technique for a week under professional guidance, but also learn the basics for getting into racing and prepare optimally for the final race weekend. In the course of the “Rookie Training Days”, the fathers and mothers of young racing enthusiasts are also given the opportunity to take part in the lectures and get tips and tricks from the pros.
At the "Kona International Rookie Games" from August 6th to 9th, the best young talents will be determined in the disciplines downhill, slopestyle, pump track and dual slalom. The "iXS Rookies Cup" is also on the racing program, as is the FMB Bronze Event "O'Neal Rookie of the Year Slopestyle", the "Pumptrack Challenge" and new this year, the "Dual Slalom Race". At the second "iXS International Rookies Championships" the "unofficial" downhill world champions in the U17, U15 and U13 classes will be determined again.
But it's not just worth coming to the MTB Festival Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis for the youngsters, but for the whole family. All women and mothers who are enthusiastic about bike sports can prove their girl power from July 31st to August 2nd and improve their riding technique at the “Ladies Camp” with Steffi Teltscher in the bike park. On the race weekend, in the "Father / Mother & Son / Daughter" challenge, the fathers and mothers and their children will fight as a team for the fastest time on the track.
