QParks is back!
12.11.2019

We are back from summer break and super hyped about the upcoming months in over 40 QParks all over Europe. Wanna know what was going on and what will be going on? Please read on.

For starters: Summer break might not be entirely true. Sure, our parks were mainly used by cows, hikers and mountain bikers during the hot months. But unless we were our there skating, surfing, biking, climbing or just chilling we were organizing and planning the next season. Right here, right now, it’s time to drop some bombs so cock your ears.

 
 

Here we would like to show you a Vimeo video.

QParks Tour – Contests for Riders

For the last 9 years, the largest rookie series of Europe has roamed the Alps and has offered young riders a first step into the world of professional contest riding. This season, we’ve got a new contest type called Rookie Battle, especially created for the youngest shredheads.

As you might have already noticed, we’ve polished our website, given it a new paint job and tweaked the structure. This way, the site is even more user friendly and a tad more stylish. You’ll find all news and info about the tour via www.qparkstour.com in no time. So, stay tuned!
