Audi Nines take place!
Despite corona, the Audi Nines 2020 are allowed to take place in the Hunsrück. Including top riders such as Fairclough, Genon, Bizet and Fedko. There is no public day, but there will be a livestream.

Now that the Red Bull Rampage The good news from the freeride scene has been cancelled: the Audi Nines can take place! The week-long jam session brings together established slopestyle stars and talented youngsters and has been a driving force for innovation in the scene for years. This is where new ideas are born and new tricks are learnt for the first time.

Fairclough, Genon, Johansson, Fedko and Knopf: world-class starting field


Particularly unusual this year: the starting field. It reads more like a Diamond Series event of the FMB World Series. Almost everyone who is anyone in Europe will be meeting up from Monday 7 September in the disused quarry in Hunsrück, which will serve as the venue. Only the Americans will have to stay away from the event due to the coronavirus. Instead Rampage- and downhill star Brendan Fairclough from Great Britain, together with Sam Reynolds and Sam Pilgrim. More Rampage experience The Belgian superstar Thomas Genon and Antoine Bizet from France will also be in the line-up.

Bienvenido Aguado and Adolf Silva will also be there, as will Diego Caverzasi from Italy and the two brothers Simon and David Godziek from Poland. Particularly pleasing: Swedish shooting star Emil Johansson will also be coming to the Idarkopf Bike Park together with Max Fredriksson. The entire Austrian and German slopestyle elite will also be at the start: Lukas Knopf, Erik Fedko, Lukas Schäfer, Nico Scholze, Patrick Schweika, Clemens Kaudela, Peter Kaiser and Tobi Wrobel will give the international competition a run for their money. The only guest from overseas: The young Canadian Jackson Goldstone. At just 16 years old, he and his mate Ike Klaasen from South Africa are the youngest drivers in the Audi Nines.

No public day 2020, but livestreams instead


Unfortunately, there will not be a public day like last year in 2020 due to coronavirus. As a replacement, there will be one-hour livestreams so that spectators can still follow the action live on site. It will start on 9, 10 and 11 September at around 3 pm at www.audinines.com/live and here in the livestream. If you don't want to wait that long, you will soon be able to download the interactive course walk.
