Looks like it's going to be as crazy as ever

This isn't a complete list of athletes, but a few: Paddy Graham, Bene Mayr, Kevin Rolland, Phil Casabon and Henrik Harlaut

And they just announced the winners of the Wanna Be A Knight contest: Niklas Eriksson, Luca Tribondeau, Christoph Schenk, Dennis Ranalter and Nicky Keefer

Can't wait to see the craziness that will inevitably go down!

This is going to be off the freaking hook. Sick that there is some pipe stuff in there to. Looks like a good mix of slope and pipe athletes to reflect that.

And while that video was sick, I did lol at that excavator at 0:40. Someone .gif that.

Most big jump builds use a trackhoe or two.

Oh I realize that. But I've never seen such a big towable backhoe crawling around like that. Looked hilarious sped up.

Dual 90-foot kickers, a 30-foot quarterpipe, halfpipes dropping from both sides of the jump, some cool jib features, about a bazillion different options for lines... shit's gonna get crazy. Expect some good behind-the-scenes coverage here on Newschoolers. :)

Definitely the craziest feature I've ever helped build. And yeah, the spider excavator is badass.

from their site, description of KEefer's video: "Nicky Keefer (USA) is boning his tricks with such perfection that common people would break their spines."  is he on a meat rampage?

Was at Livigno today, and the castle is even more impressive in real life! There is gonna be some crazy tranny finding going down, that much I guarantee!

I just arrived there and the feature is UNREAL! Takes at least 30 minutes to walk from one side of it to the other. Frustrating when you are trying to do a star timelapse and forget a crucial bit of gear on the other side. Oh well, you live and you learn.

There are soooo many options and potential for crazy lines. Huge quarter pipe, 4 half pipes, two MASSIVE jump take-offs which could be taken to hip landings, two other smaller hips. There is a down flat down stair set, a down rail stair set, a canon rail and coping rail gap in one of the pipes. Another pipe ends with a normal jump landing.

FYI - here is the first hit on the jump a few days ago, scary shit:
