Tailgate ISPO

Hailey, Idaho — December 2, 2011 — World Freeride Festival is excited to announce a new event for 2012: Flow Tailgate ISPO MUNCH. This all-new event aims to bring the camaraderie and good times of the world’s most aspirational wintersports events (Flow Tailgate Alaska, Flow Tailgate BC and Flow World Freeriding Championships), to the international leading sports business platform, ISPO MUNICH, in Munich, Germany, from January 29 — February 1, 2012.

Partnering with ISPO MUNICH, in creating the official trade-show parties, will bring the all-American tailgating experience with a wintersports twist to the entire European sporting-goods community. According to World Freeride Festival founder Mark Sullivan, “Tailgate parties are a worldwide phenomenon — people from all over participate in outside gatherings that highlight good food and drink with their friends. We are overjoyed to share our brand of tailgating with this global audience.”

Flow Tailgate ISPO will take some of the elements of Flow Tailgate Alaska and bring them to the heart of the ISPO MUNICH trade show. Snow science demonstrations, BBQ food, beer and, of course, Man Games will ensure a fun time for all.

The daily snow science demonstrations will showcase the latest in avalanche safety equipment, videos from Alaska and BC, and the opportunity to meet some of the legends of Alaskan and British Columbian backcountry.

Located in the atrium between convention halls, Flow Tailgate ISPO MUNCIH will be one of the major traffic causeways for the trade-show foot traffic. According to ISPO MUNICH Action Sports Director David Badalec, "All Tailgate events create such unique memories to everybody involved, that we couldn’t be more stoked to bring this concept to Munich. Tailgate ISPO MUNICH will be the place to connect to the freeride business at the show, all set in a fun and inspiring atmosphere."
