The fifth Quicksilver Luža Contest went off on Krvavec, Slovenia back on 3th of April and man did shredders ever come out in full force. We out here in the US don’t usually think of Slovenia as a ski/ snowboard powerhouse, but the peeps in Europe are well aware that this country puts on sick events and puts out some amazing athletic talent.

Here are a bunch of pics from the event and of the Tesma Sport Shred team…

Boardforce.net explained how the event went off:

“For those who don’t know the point was to ride the Luža as far as you can, to do some cool trick or just to be funny dressed up. There are 2 categories, ski and snowboard which are divided on Male, Female, Boys and Girls, Veterans. This year there was a new award and it went to the best Luža Group that was competing.

Like last year there were 2 runs, but most of competitors were very frozen from the first run and get satisfied with just one Luža ride, fall or trick. The contest brought us a lot of great tricks, back and front flips, corks and big rotations or just small ones, trio ski team and penguins, ski history and the future great riders.”

If anybody’s out in the area next year April, keep your eye out for this event. It’s definitely worth checking out as a spectator, OR if you’re a ripper, go and compete! It promises to be a great time.
