Longboard Classic…For the 12th time now, Stuben at the Arlberg is calling with the biggest Longboard and old school snowboard event in the world! Snowboarding legends from the US, Japan and Europe will join the crowd of three generations of shred heads, riders, media and industry people, to celebrate the spirit of snowboarding. Among them “Godfather of Freestyle” Terry Kidwell, Mike Ranquet, who brought skate style to snowboarding, Japanese shred granddaddy Ishi Ishihara and many more.

Responsible for the soundtrack of the weekend will once again be Mortal Kombat, whose tunes will bring good vibes to all riders, visitors and spectators.

The infamous Longboard Classic race will start in 2.408 meters height on the Albonagrat. After the Le Mans mass start it’s all about getting the 1001 height meters downhill back to the village, far from any kind of groomed slopes, where winners will be crowned in 3 different categories (Men / Women and Old School). And yet the LBC in Stuben couldn’t be further from an ambitious, dogged contest that is all about winning. It rather is about meeting old friends, making new ones and having fun snowboarding with like minded peeps. And to round the event off, there’s also the possibility to test longboards as well as new freeride equipment from selected brands.
