freestyle.ch Zurich is celebrating a milestone birthday this year. Europe's biggest freestyle festival has been shaping the Swiss scene for 20 years, bringing snow and top athletes to Zurich, among other things. To mark the anniversary, freestyle.ch Zurich, with the support of the national health promotion program Gorilla, is launching a new event entitled Talent@Freeestyle.ch a national platform for the promotion of young freestyle athletes between the ages of 8 and 15. In the run-up to freestyle.ch, Zurich Scouting Sessions are held in skate parks throughout Switzerland. The best can show off their tricks at the Landiwiese on September 27, 2014.

The exact procedure is as follows: Six Talent Scouting Sessions will take place in Swiss skateparks over the next four weeks. In a relaxed atmosphere, the young people will show off their skills on a skateboard, bike or scooter. If you can't attend the scouting sessions or don't make it into the top 8, you can apply for the final via online video scouting. The Talent Final Session will take place on Saturday afternoon at freestyle.ch Zurich. The four biggest talents will receive personal coaching from the pros Kilian Zehnder (skateboard) and Roger Rinderknecht (bike).

The dates and locations of the scouting sessions:

August 24, Basel, Pumpwerk
September 6, Geneva, Skatepark du Painpalais
September 7, Lugano, Skatepark Lugano, Warriors Weekend
September 13, St. Gallen, Rollpark
September 20, Zurich, Freestylepark Allmend
