Competition isn’t always just about the riding, for most the riders especially Ethan, Ryan and Nate one of the many joys of competing is the chance to travel the world. See new cultures and meet new people. Last week these three riders sent it internationally and showed up at Abslolut Park Austria to to see how they could do in there first European event. What makes Absolut Park Spring Battle one-of-a-kind is the judging format. The riders get a chance to film there best run and then submit it for judging. Even with the jet lag and some struggling weather, our riders were able to put down some great results with Ethan Swadburg ending up just one spot out of the finals.

In the end like Ethan said, its not always about the result but the experience that comes with it.  We know all three of these guys wouldn’t pass up that experience for anything.

RESULTS:

Ethan Swadburg 4th 

Ryan McElmon 11th 

Nate Mceli 25th
