Bardonecchia is the place to be if you love a bit of downhill mountainboarding. There will be both brake and no brake disciplines and there will also be a freestyle competition. Last year was a great event and this year looks to be bigger and better. Tom Kirkman will be heading over to see if he can beat Pete Tatham (without using a brake and on normal 8″ tyres) after their closely fought race in France last year.

Hi guys,

HI-TEXT MOUNTAINBOARDWORLD DOWNHILL CHAMPIONSHIPS
this year will take place in Bardonnecchia (Italy) on July the 3rd and 4th!

Bardonecchia is in north west Piemonte on the border with France.
It is well connected by road, train (both national and international connections) and airport (Milan, Turin, Chambery and Geneva are all within easy reach of Bardonecchia). It’s about 50 minutes away from Turin by motorway and 2,30 hours from Lyon, 1 hour from Turin and 2 hours from Milan and Lyon by train. The international airport of Turin Caselle is about 1 hour away.

I encourage riders from all world coming to compete on a beautiful mountain track with a great atmosphere! We would like this race was the first truly international event in the history of European mountainboard, with riders from all world!

We have chairlift open from friday afternoon and for the weekend, nice residence accomodation in front of finish line, sponsor village and many party, barbeque and much more on friday and saturday night!!!
