Four Hawks and a Golden Eagle
At the Red Bull Access All Areas event at Woergl, Austria, four top skateboarders and Austrian ski jumper Gregor “Golden Eagle“ Schlierenzauer tried their hands at synchronized jumping.
Red Bull Access All Areas stands for skateboarding at locations where it is usually strictly forbidden, e.g. at Vienna University, Leoben Prison, Semmering motorway or at a strip joint in Caracas. Or at the ski jump at Woergl, Tyrol, Austria…
The idea for this new air extravaganza was born by bowl aces Roman „Asti“ Astleitner and Stefan „Atze“ Atzl from Kufstein. At the Red Bull Access All Areas event, both set a good example riding from the ski jump already in the morning. But also street legend Roman Hackl from Vienna and vert maniac Juergen Horrwarth from Berlin cut a good figure at the ski jump.
Ski flying in midsummer. While the skateboarders tried to stick their airs (with partly scary airtime and up to 12 metres width) on the smaller jump which had been coated by a steep ramp, another hero of the skies familiarized himself with the big summer jump: ski flying world Champion Gregor Schlierenzauer.
Undeviatingly and synchronously to the skateboarders, he landed on the watered mat just to walk up to the top again sweating in his ski jumping suit. The stamina of the five riders was really remarkable: from 10 am to 4 pm, they didn’t allow themselves a break riding under the hot August sun.
A sprained ankle. Afterwards, they enjoyed a little break before the night session began under floodlight. Eagerly demanded by Roman Hackl, Metallica’s “Orion” was the adequate soundtrack – an additional push for the riders. Apart from that, the Red Bull Volvo played the punk rock playlist of superstyler and Red Bull athlete Juergen Horrwarth who unfortunately sprained his ankle on one of his last jumps – a classic among skateboarders…
Vienna local and magazine publisher Philipp Schuster had sprained his ankle already before and therefore he was only able to attend the event as a spectator. And the eyewitnesses really got a lot to see… which is proven by Atze Atzl’s answer to the question how often he had been jumping: “Often enough!”
