Rock A Rail Budapest 2026

Rock A Rail celebrated a spectacular premiere in Budapest as the Rock A Rail Tour presented by Snowfest kicked off its 2026 season right in the snow-covered city center. From January 9 to 11, the tour made its first-ever stop in the Hungarian capital, officially opening the fourth year of the Rock A Rail Tour. Exceptionally wintry conditions, rarely seen in Budapest, provided the perfect backdrop for this historic debut, as well as for the Generali Freeze Festival, held in the heart of the city at Városliget City Park.

Rock A Rail has long stood for world-class urban street-style riding. Creative and highly technical setups challenge the riders year after year. The opening stop of the 2026 season was exclusively dedicated to snowboarders.

In the women’s competition, Anne-Sophie Lechon (BEL) once again demonstrated her strength on rails, finishing in third place. French rider Zoé Roffi caused a surprise by taking second place. The rider of the night, however, was 18-year-old Mia Langridge (GBR), the 2025 Rock A Rail Tour Champion. After four second place finishes during the 2025 season, she finally stepped onto the top of the Rock A Rail podium for the first time, underlining her remarkable consistency. She impressed with a textbook-perfect boardslide 270: “After all those second places, finally getting the win feels like a dream.” In the men’s competition, Den Haag winner and local hero Botond Fricz (HUN) used his home advantage to finish third in front of family and friends: “I’m incredibly happy that Rock A Rail has finally arrived in Budapest.” The battle for victory was ultimately decided between the Dutch riders. Thom Wijnstra finished second, while Thom Vogel claimed the win. Vogel impressed the judges with, among other tricks, a spectacular Switch 50 to Hardway Back 270 Transfer from the flat bar rail onto the double kink rail.

Beyond the snowboard action, the Generali Freeze Festival offered a wide range of winter sports activities. From ice skating to curling on one of the largest ice rinks in the world, visitors of all generations enjoyed the snow-covered city park and the rare sight of Budapest in white. The sporting program was complemented by numerous music acts that kept the crowd energized despite freezing temperatures. In true Snowfest tradition, Sunday put the spotlight on the next generation, with the Open Kids Jam hosted by Snowboard Hungary.

Snowfest Innsbruck - Rock a Rail 2022

ROCK A RAIL SNOWBOARD CONTEST - For the 70 snowboarders, the picturesque scenery directly between the Tyrolean State Theater and the time-honored Hofburg was an absolute novelty. The ramp, which is 37 meters long, 12.5 meters wide and two stories high, offered a unique setup with various rails and features. The riders pushed each other, pulled even crazier tricks and put on an incredible show for the enthralled crowd. You're more likely to meet Anna Gasser on the big jumps and slopestyle course than at rail events. The double Olympic champion played all her routine on Saturday and won the women's title with a lot of style: "I'm really happy that we have another contest in Innsbruck. I'm not really the rail driver, but it was great fun with the girls. They all drove really well. Hopefully more in the future!” Benny Milam (USA) won the last Rock A Rail in The Hague (2019) and now continued his winning streak here in Innsbruck. //

ROCK A RAIL SNOWBOARD CONTEST - Für die 70 Snowboarder war die pittoreske Kulisse direkt zwischen dem Tiroler Landestheater und der altehrwürdigen Hofburg ein absolutes Novum. Die 37 Meter lange, 12,5 Meter breite und zwei Stockwerke hohe Rampe bot ein einzigartiges Setup mit verschiedenen Rails und Features. Die Rider pushten sich gegenseitig, zeigten immer noch verrücktere Tricks und lieferten eine unglaubliche Show für das begeisterte Publikum. Anna Gasser trifft man eigentlich eher auf den großen Jumps und im Slopestyle Kurs als bei Rail-Events. Die Doppelolympiasiegerin spielte am Samstag all ihre Routine aus und holte sich mit viel Style verdient den Titel bei den Frauen: „Ich freu mich riesig, dass wir wieder einen Contest in Innsbruck haben. Ich bin eigentlich nicht so die Rail-Fahrerin, aber es hat total Spaß gemacht mit den Mädels. Es sind alle richtig gut gefahren. Hoffentlich in Zukunft mehr!“ Benny Milam (USA) gewann den letzten Rock A Rail in Den Haag (2019) und setzte nun hier in Innsbruck seine Siegesserie fort.
