Due to the European Soccer Championship in Austria in June next year, the organizers decided to move the date of the event to the first weekend in August. “Most of what we had planned for this year's event will also be implemented in 2008,” says Mike Hamel. We also plan to provide more events for people to take part in. We want to turn the adidas Slopestyle into a freeride happening. The response to the Sponsoree Ticket2Style Rookie Qualifier was tremendous this year and we are thinking about increasing the number of adidas Slopestyle start places that the rookies can win. Furthermore, we are planning a public side event for freeriders. It is our goal to offer the visitors of the adidas Slopestlye a unique freeride experience. Details will be presented early next year.”
Apart from the adidas Slopestyle, adidas wants to continue to set a course in MTB freeriding in 2008. “We have some great projects in the pipeline. Besides, we have enlarged our Freeride Crew”, says Axel Burkhardt. "In January we will present the adiridas 2008. Some of the guys will also participate in the next adidas SMX Event on February 25th. More to be revealed in the New Year.“
