The first roof and slopestyle in Avoriaz.

featured in Events Videos Updated

The Urban Roof n’ Slopestyle is a new concept in freestyle mountain biking. A competition inspired by freestyle snowboarding events that take place in Avoriaz in the winter, it takes dirt and freeride mountain biking and mixes them with parcours to create a new style of street riding.

The competition was truly exceptional with the ramps giving the riders access to the resort rooftops creating a unique spectacle that was enjoyed by some 10 000 people. Although rain slowed the start of the competition Tuesday came with clear blue skies and the competitors rode all day in an attempt to be the first ever Roof n’ Slopestyle champion. The title eventually went to British rider Sam Pilgrim who dominated a strong, international field over the two days winning both the best trick competition and the Slopestyle.
