• ‘GLACIER 3000’ FBBB in Les Diablerets, Switzerland, Sat Nov 3rd 2007
FBBB teamed up with Freestyle Concept and Dynamic Media Events for a competition, Glacier 3000, held to open the season at Les Diablerets, Switzerland.
A beautiful, blue-sky on Saturday saw riders from all over the world repping DC and Zimerstern, amongst others, hit a well-shaped park with a good selection of lines, flat rails and a whale rail. There was music from cH!co and as well as commentary and live performance from MC Natty.
As well as a cash prize there were hardware prizes from D30 Lab, Nixon, Ride, K2, Blueskin, Sputnik and Jibstar.
The chalet’s facilities included it’s own sauna and skate ramp that the crew put to full use. The bar’s soundsystem housed the prize giving and the after party with performances from cH!co, MC Natty, Carpetface, and beatboxer Audible Porno that eventually took over one of the locals clubs!
