Out of Bounds Weekend from July 9th to 12th

The annual Out of Bounds Weekend features a unique combination of mountain bike freeride competitions in 2009: The Austrian Downhill Championships, an iXS European DH Cup, as well as the legendary 26TRIX dirt jump contest. But Bikepark Leogang's dirt line and the "Speedster" racetrack aren't the only hot spots during the extended weekend from July 9th to 12th –a packed side program is also waiting for the freeride fans. The Out of Bounds Weekend has become an institution during the European bike summer. The best dirt jumpers from all over the world, like Andreu Lacondeguy (ESP), Jamie Goldman (USA), Grant Fielder (GBR), Trond Hansen (NOR), Darren Pokoj (AUS), Cam McCaul (USA), Benny Korthaus (GER), Yannic Granieri (FRA), Alex Pro (CAN), Martin Söderström (SWE), Sam Pilgrim (GBR) or Amir Kabbani (GER) made their way to the 26TRIX during the last three years. Be prepared for the biggest names and their personal revival of the 26TRIX in 2009. The iXS European DH Cup tour is also a big hitter and recommended as one of the most exciting international race series. The combination with the Austrian Downhill Championships promises even more action packed gravity riding. An almost legendary side program features BBQs, a Bunny Hop contest, an exhibition area and a hard rocking after party with a huge crowd of people dancing and having fun like last year. On top, the lucky winners of the Wings for Life raffle (www.bikepark-leogang.com/en/wingsforlife) will be chosen and announced on Saturday, July 11th. The prizes like a brand new Kona Stinky or one week for two persons in Leogang will be handed to the lucky ones directly, when joining the Out of Bounds Weekend. Otherwise they will be contacted. Again for 2009, the Out of Bounds Weekend is promising four days packed with action and is brought to you not only by the long term partners Kona, Oakley, One Big Park und Saalfelden Leogang Tourism, but also by Suzuki. Everyone who was bummed to have missed last year's edition number 5 should definitely mark this weekend in his or her calendar. Take your chance, watch world’s best dirt jumpers on Bikepark Leogang’s huge doubles, downhill racing at its best on the challenging "speedster" track, or just party hard with locals and pros all night long. Be there or be square!
