Almabtrieb & General Newsflash

This year's World Championships in Downhill Skateboarding, Streetluge and Classic Luge (aka Buttboard) were held in Hungerszell in the Bavarian Forest, South East Germany. It sure was quite an experience, the track is amazing and the weather was HOT! The 4 days passed within the blink of an eye and to be honest, I am not sure what else to write about it as really, words do not do it justice and therefore, rather than waffling on, I shall point you in the direction of Sven von Schlachta, photographer par excellence who you're highly likely to find at the side of crash corner documenting all the action, check out his awesome shots from the event here:

This summer's brimming with freerides and of course races so keep your eyes peeled for news and updates. It's almost time for another round of workshops brought to you by yours truly of course, this time we're going to rock Jungholz in Austria, the former Almabtrieb track.
