[VIDEO] Red Bull Athletes Session Unique Terrain Park They Constructed High in the Alps of Eastern Italy - SnowBrains

"A few months ago, four Red Bull athletes took to the Julian Alps in Italy to ride a precise yet flowy line, forcing each rider to navigate each feature with precision while riding at an altitude of 2,050 meters in the mountains. The park was ridden by snowboarders Felix Georgii and Ian Matteoli, and skiers Max Hitzig and Fabian Bosch."

"The 350-meter (roughly 1,150 feet) course ran along a ridge just one meter (roughly 3 feet) wide, forcing the athletes to "tightrope" the snow to avoid huge drops. The course featured a wide variety of terrain park features, such as a rainbow rail, down rail, multiple gaps, and jumps. The course was hand-built to showcase the precision that high-level skiers and snowboarders possess, which separates them from the rest."

""It's all about doing tricks as perfectly as possible. There's no room for risky landings here," Georgii said in Red Bull's article. The course was built with the athletes in mind and was a way for them to push themselves, both physically and mentally. With terrain park features built that high and in that setting, any hesitation becomes a great risk, forcing the athletes to fully commit to their lines."

Four Red Bull athletes rode a hand-built 350-meter terrain park line along a one-meter ridge in the Julian Alps at 2,050 meters. The course combined rainbow and down rails, multiple gaps, and jumps, and demanded tightrope-style riding to avoid massive drops. High, exposed features forced full commitment and punished hesitation, emphasizing flawless trick execution with no room for risky landings. The build showcased the precision and control that separate professional skiers and snowboarders. After finding rhythm each athlete completed the line successfully. The project reinforced Red Bull's focus on pushing action-sports boundaries and shaping how extreme sports are experienced and filmed.
