Volcom Spot to Spot 2022 in Avoriaz

What a way to kick off the season!

Volcom Spot to Spot 3rd edition was the first version to run over 2 days in the French resort of Avoriaz. And what a smart move that was, cause on day one we were graced with fog thicker than Arctic winter darkness. Yet, in spite of a total whiteout, the riders threw down an incredible level of riding during the Rail Jam.

Come evening, it was time for the long awaited Creedlecosm premiere, followed by dinner, where France smashing England in the World Cup was part of the side show. Eventually, everyone made it to the “The Place” where Double Cheese put on a mind-bending gig, leading to surprisingly many stripping their shirts and joining the raging mosh pit. By 5am, most made it home but not everyone….

Day 2 greeted us with the bluest of blue skies and temperature’s dropping to – 20°C (– 4°F) on top of the mountain. Nevertheless, riders soldiered through and put on an impressive show during the Side Hits Challenge and Speed check.
Lunch was served in form of outstanding burritos and beer at prize giving, before we moved on the final challenge of Spot to Spot 2022: the Pro Feature – a 3D Volcom Stone placed on top of a pyramid of snow, enabling riders to approach it from every angles.

Thanks to everyone who joined the party and to our partners Avoriaz, Capita Snowboards, Electric Eyewear, Union Bindings, Act Magazine, Method Mag, Hideout hostels, Rock On Snow, Woodbrass, and Ocean52.

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.

The B.E.N.C.H. Press Challenge | Mini Shredits S2E1

MiniShredits is back! And smaller than ever. But you see, that’s the thinking behind MiniShredits, the show where host Henry Jackson gets some of the biggest talents in freestyle snowboarding to take time out from hitting the pro line and go ride the smallest features on the mountain in the most radical way possible.

It’s the first episode of the new series, and to get things rolling we’ve got two hot young talents from the US of A hitting a bench that’s barely big enough to sit on, let alone slide down.

Judd Henkes is a small guy with serious skills: last year he qualified for the US Open Halfpipe final at the tender age of 14, while Grant Giller is a Colorado local known for crushing rails, park and backcountry with equal abandon. But going big is no help here: how will the boys fare when it comes to going small? Watch Judd Henkes and Grant Giller battle it out on the world’s smallest rail.
