For everybody who doesn’t know the King of Innsbruck Tournament, here is a short overview:
The King of Innsbruck is a relaxed and non-commercial K.O Tournament for the skiing community in Innsbruck, which can be followed online via social media. Every freeskier in Tirol is welcome to join the qualification and fight for the title of the „King of Innsbruck“. Two skiers face each other and battle in a 1 vs. 1 game in snowparks around IBK. One rider is calling a trick which the other rider hast to copy. The rider who collects all letters from the word "K.O.I.B.K." first is the loser, the winner goes for next round and continues the Tournament. The battles combine the different styles and maneuvers of the riders and are pushing them to try tricks which they have never done before.
