Verdens beste quarterpipe-kjørere møtes til finale i Midtstubakken lørdag 3. mars. (Kl. 11.00 – 15.00.) Hvordan komme seg til Midtstubakken: Ta T-banen (linje 1, Frognerseteren) til Midtstuen.
The 2007 competition will, as last year, be held in Midtstuen (200 meters from the legendary Holmenkollen arena), a classic ski jump hill that has not been used since Armin Kogler became world champion in 1982. Last years historical re-opening was a joint effort between The Arctic Challenge, Oakley and Skiforeningen, the association looking after the endless ski slopes and wooded areas outside Oslo. This year we continue the cooperation and step up the effort by including sci-fi methods of slope-construction to launch the worlds best quarter-pipe riders into unchartered territory.
When the optimal slope-profile is designed and built we will have an ideal location for the competition with excellent spectator facilities. The quarter pipe measures 10 meter from the bottom to the cooping (top). At the 2001 TAC event Heikki Sorsa pushed the world record to the epic 9.3 meters above the coping. Five years later, the record still stands and The Oakley Arctic Challenge, is set to challenge the world’s best snowboarders to beat the record and showcase the latest progression in trickery, snowboard-creativity and general tomfoolery.Semifinals march 2nd | Final march 3rd
