With its 25 Jibs and 18 Jumps, the Superpark Planai has established itself as one of the biggest freestyle strongholds in the Alps. The preparations for the upcoming winter are already in full swing, and in order to get you in the right shred mood, we’ve compiled a little semi-digital sneak peek of the upcoming season 2012/13 for you! All there’s left to do is lean back and enjoy because the new “setup roundflip” will blow your mind with a mix of animation and real-time footage – which is definitely the quickest and easiest way to check out the new setup!

The Superpark Planai stretches over a length of 500 meters, basks in the sun all day long and offers everything that stirs our freestyle blood for both beginners and pros. Also, the two adjacent lifts provide for countless runs and ultimately tired feet at the end of the day!

O’Neill and Blue Tomato team rider Lisa Veith about the Superpark Planai: “What makes the Superpark Planai so special is the fact that it was one of the first QParks in one of the most famous ski resorts in Styria, which was not very freestyle-oriented up to that point. The park has definitely made the Planai interesting again. Additionally, the park is exposed to the sun all day long, you always meet familiar faces, and on top of that, it is easily accessible because it lies in the heart of Austria! Especially the medium kicker line with the pole jam at the beginning has caught my affection this year!!

Park designer Andi Röck and his crew have been working 24/7 on the new park setup. Check out the brand-new roundflip for a 3D overview of this year’s setup, including 3D animation and action shots of the individual obstacles! On site, you’ll find
