The FWT Challenger Series is the final step to the Freeride World Tour. Around 60 athletes will compete in four destinations in Italy, Slovakia, France and Austria. To compete in all four destinations athletes need to travel 3600km.

By simply adjusting the order of the events the travel distance can be reduced to 1700km.

Ultimately, CO2 emissions can be reduced by 50%!

We demand an adjustment of the order of the events to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions.

The Freeride community is highly affected by climate change. We as a community have to be at the forefront of emission reduction. By simple measures like the adjustment of the competitive calendar, we can make a big change.

The order needs to be adjusted to:

EAST to WEST (Slovakia, Austria, France, Italy) -> 1700km 

The new order will also consider the altitude of the destinations. Starting with the lowest destination and moving to a higher altitude. 

Slovakia: 2000m

Austria: 2300m

Italy: 2300-2700m

France: 2300-2400m
