The second edition of the Nokia Air & Style in Munich will see the world’s best snowboarders in action, including last year’s winner Hampus Mosesson from Sweden, TTR World Snowboard Champion Mathieu Crepel and Olympic Gold Medallist Shaun White from America.
Last year, 21,000 spectators witnessed boarders battling head-to-head on the world’s biggest artificial jump and for 2006, a completely new set-up in the Olympic Stadium will include a longer in-run and a higher take-off.
As a first time partner at the world’s largest ‘big air’ snowboard event, BMW Motorrad will feature in the action, although not in the competition itself. Motorcycle fans are used to seeing the 105 hp flat-twin at many international motorsport events such as the Erzberg Iron Road Prologue, Pikes Peak International Hillclimb and the Baja 500 and 1000 desert races.
However, in BMW Motorrad’s own ‘backyard’ the HP2 Enduros are being equipped with specially constructed snowboard holders and pillion kits in order to transport the snowboard stars from the arena area up a narrow ramp right up to the top of the Olympic stadium, from where the participants will start their runs.
The winner of the Nokia Air & Style Snowboard contest will win a new G 650 X model of his choice. Furthermore, BMW Motorrad will be showcasing its new G Series range of single-cylinder machines, as well as the formidable HP2 Enduro in a special exhibition display area.
A VIP shuttle service including X3, X5 and 7 Series cars will transport the snowboard and FMX Pro-riders to and from the event, as well as the live music acts, which include Milburn, Canadian punk rocker Billy Talent and Berlin Dancehall-Caballeros, and Seeed.
