This year the Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam was better than ever!

Today the Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam 08 ended with a sensational super-final. Blue skies, awesome vibes, happy faces all around and more than 2000 people visiting the Atomic Superpark Dachstein to cheer for the 18 starters of today’s super-final. The riding-level was incredibly high and the riders showed some of the most technical tricks as expected. Andreas Wiig from Norway, who barely made the cut yesterday could win today’s super-finals with an outstanding second run (switch bs9, fs10, bs rodeo9). Seventeen years old Belgian Seppe Smits became second. Matevz Petek from Slovenia made it all the way through qualification and finally ended up third in today’s super-finals. Superstar Eero Ettala from Finland also has a reason to be happy: He got the best trick award with a switch double-backflip and won a 3-week-surftrip to the legendary Balicamp.

From a national point of view the super-final was a great success as well: Flo Mausser, Stefan Gimpl and Michael Stanschitz all reached the super-final, representing Austria with solid placements. Stephan Maurer from Switzerland managed to make his way up to the second place in the TTR-worldrankings, due his solid performance today. The Girls Final was quite international with Czech Sarka Pancochova winning, followed by Silvia Mittermüller from Germany and Enni Rukajarvi from Finland.
