The Vienna Air King is an international dirt jump competition, which is held every April and functions as the annual bike season kick off event in Europe in conjunction with the ARGUS Bike Festival – Austria’s biggest bike event. For the 6th time in 2011, the competitors of the Vienna Air King have to show some hard rocking tricks and combinations on the course to secure some of the cash and goods prizes.
 
It’s not only the dirt jump contest that attracts overall about 120.000 visitors each year. A big bike exhibition area featuring the newest trends in the cycling industry is definitely worth a visit. The Vienna Air King itself attracts over 40 professional riders from over 15 nations.

Already in 2011, the contest was also the Kick Off Event of the Freeride Mountainbike World Tour. Sam Pilgrim (GB/ 1. Place) and MYannick Granieri (FRA/ 2. Place) were in a head to head battle for first place, with Pilgrim coming out on top. Anyone who could not be part of it in Vienna, check out YouTube for our official clip!
