The young snowboarders were happy enjoying to the opportunity to ride “one of the best Halfpipes” they had ever experienced. Besides the competition, the rookies learned how to make and process pics in the action sports photo workshop by Markus Fischer aka Fischi. At a snowskate session during the Oslo Vinter Festival, the Rookies were totally on fire ripping it up on the board without bindings.
