All Bulgarian future snowboard talents gathered last weekend, on the 23rd of March 2013 in Pamporovo (BUL) for the Bulgarian Rookie Fest. It was the first edition of the Bulgarian stop being part of the World Rookie Tour.

The riders’ excitement about the Bulgarian Rookie Fest was huge – 12 riders entered the nicely shaped slopestyle run of the FunPark and hit it hard. Mentored by the Bulgarian national team rider Loziyo Dimitrov, the Bulgarian slopestyle champion Georgi Georgiev and all other young riders performed to their best and showed an amazing competition.
With the missing Petar Geosharkov on the slope, Simeon Mitrev from Borobord Team stand out with a clean landed bs. 720 with tail fish from the 16 M. kickers. Moni – as his friends call him – is 14 years old and had already been riding the national championships in the Men class where he was ranked in the top five. The other Bulgarian riders showed so much potential that it will be not a surprise if some of them will join the World Rookie Tour in the next season.
During the weekend, the first line of Pamporovo FunPark was set with a BigAir Bag, so the coaches have had a good time training with their riders under the Bulgarian Sun. While the first Bulgarian Rookie Fest is done, all eyes are focused on Ischgl, Austria for the Völkl World Rookie Finals (3.-7. of April 2013) where Bulgaria will cross the fingers for Simeon Mitrev .
