Red Bull Ragnarok

Posted on 20/04/2010 by adminwp

Red Bull hosted a kite event at Haugastøl Norway this weekend, and I was there. What an event. On Friday 110 kiters competed in a endurance kite race, and Saturday a snowboard / ski cable track freestyle competition.

The concept (Taken from www.redbullragnarok.no)
The participant event Red Bull Ragnarok will select up to 200 riders from all over the world to race for 3 hours; 6 rounds of approximately 30 minutes each, stretching from 10-20km. After each round, if not already given up voluntarily, a number of snow-kite heroes will be eliminated.

After a crazy race start Friday, I was doing well after 3 of 5 round holding 4th position. But patience ran out after the wind died for the second time, so I forfeited. Did not bring my camera that day ( picture coming soon) . On Saturday I took pictures of all the snowboarder doing crazy stuff at the cable track kickers and sliders.
