On April 10th 2012 the third Head Jib Factory by Alex Tank and Arnette went down at Oberjoch, Germany. As you might have already seen in the official edit the 20 riders had a good time with perfect weather and a sick set-up. There was so much footage left which is way too good to be left unseen that there will be a couple of bonus edits this summer. Check out the first one with Alex Tank, Benny Urban and the other guys!

Head Jib Factory 2012 by Alex Tank and Arnette Recap

On April 10th it was time again for 20 of the best European jibbers to come together to have a nice session on a sick setup at Oberjoch, Germany, at the Head Jib Factory 2012 by Alex Tank & Arnette. The organisers kept it real again to make it the most fun possible for the riders. No spectators, no schedule, riders judging. Everybody was just having a good time shredding with their friends. Sunny weather, good music and a BBQ.

Arnette and Head Snowboards joined forces to create a setup that was way bigger than anything the Jib Factory had seen before. All day long the guys were killing it in various sessions on the different obstacles. Check out the edit to see what went down!

Due to the bad weather on Wednesday the second event day had to be cancelled. As the Game of OUT was supposed to be finished on that day the prize money was split between the remaining riders.

After the voting it was official: one guy takes it all, Boris Bühler won the best trick and the best rider overall. After splitting the prize money for the Game of OUT between the last 6 guys, we had to decide who gets the trophy. Arm wrestling was on. At the end Dominik Wagner was victorious over a surprisingly strong Wessel van Lierop. It was a great event and we can´t wait for Jib Factory 2013.

Best Trick: Boris Bühler switch backside 270 to regular.
Best Rider overall: Boris Bühler
Game of OUT winners: Marc Swoboda, Toni Kerkela, Wessel Van Lierop, Felix Georgii, Dominik Wagner, Boris Bühler.
