The Leogang Bikepark hosts the Out of Bounds Festival, Austria’s biggest freeride mountain bike event, for the seventh year in row. From June 24th to 27th a unique combination of mountain bike competitions is waiting for the freeride fans: the iXS European DH Cup, the legendary 26TRIX dirt jump contest as well as the grand final of the brand new Euro Fourcross Series.

The fifth anniversary of the 26TRIX promises best dirt jump action in the center of Europe. The 26TRIX has always been pushing the trick level forward since its first edition in 2006, when Gregg Watts was the first one to nail a double backflip during an international competition ever. The xxl-sized jumps that had been added to the 26TRIX course last year guarantee massive airtime that has not been seen often before. Only a few of the pros from all over the world took the chance of this second line last year: Graham Aggassiz (CAN), Andreu Lacondeguy (ESP), Greg Watts (USA), Pierre Eduard Ferry (FRA), Darren Berrecloth (CAN), Sam Pilgrim (GBR) or Simon Kirchmann (GER). Let’s see who takes the challenge in 2010. The 26TRIX is part of the Freeride Mountain Bike (FMB) World Tour this year and therefore the biggest names will be invited to Leogang. In the past, most of the big players in the global scene had already taken the chance to join the 26TRIX: Grant Fielder (GBR), Jamie Goldman (USA), Trond Hansen (NOR), Darren Pokoj (AUS), Cam McCaul (USA), Benny Korthaus (GER), Alex Pro (CAN), Martin Söderström (SWE), or Yannick Granieri (FRA) to name only some.
