The impressive pictures of Red Bull PlayStreets are known to many people even beyond the borders of Salzburg and Austria and have already attracted tens of thousands of spectators to the Gasteinertal region. The freeskiing track, laced with kickers, corners, gaps and rails, snakes through the streets and over the roofs of the skiing resort. Besides a Suzuki Motocross bike, the winner gets, like his predecessors did, a star with his name on the Walk of Fame in Bad Gastein – what is likely to be motivation enough for the riders, to press every button in 2013!
