Hellas Rookie Fest - Report

The 2015 World Rookie Tour kicked off last weekend in Helmos – Kalavrita, Greece with the 1st edition of the Hellas Rookie Fest, won by the bulgarian rising star Kamen Petrov from Pamporovo TRS Team.

The race was organized by Snowboard.gr and TRS Management. The slope was prepared from Pamporovo Funpark’s shapers and for the first time in Greece history a professional slopestyle course was prepared.

The slopestyle started with two jumps – small and large, followed by PVC pipe connected to a box and kicker with barrel for Bonk. In the final section, there was a straight down rail and Kinki area, and at the bottom a spite tube.

 

Among the male grom,  Kamen Petrov from Bulgaria resulted the best rider of the day and got the title of Hellas Rookie Fest overall champion with a run including front side 720 by the biggest jump, boxing 50-50, 50-50 to 180 and out of Spite – 360 cab with bonk.

In the male rookie category, the best result was reached by Raymond Prentice (GBR) followed by Konstantin Slavov (BUL) and Anastas Sunkov (BUL).
