Last Saturday, we hosted our second GAME of go-shred above the clouds, high above the city of Innsbruck. The day before, a small storm brought just enough fresh snow to cover everything in white. Then, early morning we had some stable weather till 14:00 o’clock and than it started snowing.
At 8:15 AM, we took the first gondola up to finalize the setup, just in time for the arrival of the first participants. Thanks to the support of the shaper and cat driver Alex and the amazing go-shred event crew, we were ready to welcome our first guests.
In addition to the GAME of go-shred, we teamed up with Salomon Snowboards to offer a test session for their brand-new snowboard collection. The boards and bindings for next season look incredible! A perfect mix of classic style and innovative technology—definitely worth trying if you haven’t already.
A Day Full of Action and Emotion
At 11:00 AM, we officially opened the registration. We are still committed to keeping participation free of charge, staying true to the motto “Let the kids ride free”, an inspiration from back in the day, originally coined by Volcom—one of our longest-standing supporters.
We could hardly believe our eyes—so many young shredders showed up to play the GAME of go-shred with us even if the weather forecast was pretty bad for this day! Our event is open to all ages and riding levels, but this time, the day belonged to the kids. The atmosphere was full of excitement, joy, and energy.
At 12:00 PM, the GAME began: six groups with nearly 40 kids and adults on skis and snowboards tackled the challenges ahead. It was great to see, that although the parents and couches of the kids took part at the GAME. And you know what, they’re all chasing the STOKE no matter the age. After completing the first disciplines, we fired up the barbecue—because playing is always easier on a full stomach, especially when you’re a kid with boundless energy!
By 3:00 PM, all groups had finished their disciplines, and we started preparing for the prize-giving ceremony. Thanks to our amazing partners Volcom, Giro, Salomon Snowboards, Stance, and Yeti, we were able to reward our winners with loads of awesome goodies.
An Unforgettable Day
It was amazing to see how much the young shredders love to play, learn, progress, and most importantly—have fun! Life is just so much better when you’re enjoying every moment.
A huge THANK YOU to Nordkette Innsbruck for hosting, supporting, and sharing the SHRED with us! And of course, to our incredible partners Volcom, Salomon Snowboards, Giro, and Skatehalle Innsbruck, who make all of this possible.
