The Protest World Rookie Fest 2012 is on fire with tons of action at the Mottolino Swatch Snowpark and in the new Cable Park in Livigno downtown. Day 2 of the event saw the first trainings for the 126 riders in the starting list: they all shred the slopestyle set up including 3 table top and ending in a multi rail obstacles still to be completed.
