Anyone going?

Anyone been to one previously?

What are the events actually like?

I enjoy the channels and seems like I'd happily have a beer with any of the presenters.

Just not sure how the whole event works in reality.

Have some time off in June so thinking about it.

But need convincing, so go ahead, should I stay or should I go?

I only watch the very occasion GMBN video these days, but i would defo check it out, if i happened to be in Austria.

Sounds like a couple of days to loose yourself in all bike disciplines.

If you do go, let us know how it was.

Not been to the festival but I ride Saalbach/Hinterglemm & Leogang a lot.

Good riding there if you are a decent rider on an enduro bike. Mixture of jumpy and rocky/rooty trails. The Saalbach valley is pretty, Saalbach itself is a decent little town, Hinterglemm a bit smaller but I prefer it. They’re less than 10 minutes from each other along the river path.

Cheers everyone.

Seems too good to be true overall.

But assuming that the Eurosport marketing will cover the costs of a lot of decent riding, not to mention a few decent night time events, it can't be a bad value trip for the punter.

Will take the plunge if flights work out OK.
