A fine line: Unique Slopestyle Course Pushes Red Bull Rider Clemens Millauer to the Limit

Ten features, one course and just one mission: make it from top to bottom without a single mistake. Austrian snowboarder and Olympian Clemens Millauer is known for his creative and unconventional video and film projects. For his latest undertaking, the Red Bull rider takes on a very special challenge at Kreischberg at the end last winter. Thirty attempts, ten completely different features and a 400-meter-long, just four-meter-wide Slopestyle course, custom-built for the project, push Clemens to his limits. The video premieres on the Red Bull Snow YouTube channel on November 9.

Ten Features – No Room for Error

Balance beams, rails, wallrides, transfers and jumps come one after another in rapid succession. A high rail standing around seven meters above the ground, a jump with a twelve-meter gap and a double wallride reaching approximately eight meters at its highest point are just some of the challenges. Every one of the ten features has to be executed perfectly, as even the smallest mistake is enough to break the flow and mean starting all over again. Landing, line and speed directly determine whether the next feature will work. “When you are riding such a long course with ten completely different obstacles, you have to get every single one right. If I don’t execute just one of them cleanly, it affects the entire rest of the run,” explains Millauer. Feature by feature, Clemens makes his way through the course, relying on precision and perfect timing to conquer what is arguably the narrowest slopestyle course in the world.

“When I rode the course for the first time, I immediately realized it was going to be a huge challenge. I was actually a little nervous that I might have taken on too much,” he recalls. The road to the perfect run is tough. Attempt after attempt, Clemens works his way through the course. As soon as he masters one feature, the next challenge is already waiting – another hurdle on the way to completing the entire run. The balance beams and double wallride prove particularly demanding. It takes Clemens around 20 attempts on the wallride alone before he finds the right speed and line. “Then suddenly something clicked. Once I made it over the wall for the first time, I started to get a better and better feel for it.”

Ten Days of Work for One Run

Charles Beckinsale and his shaping team are responsible for bringing the extraordinary course at Kreischberg to life. Around ten days are spent building, testing and fine-tuning it. Rain and warm spring conditions make the work even more challenging. To ensure everything looks perfect for the first day of filming, the crew puts in one final 18-hour shift. The gradient, speed and transitions have to work together perfectly throughout the entire course. At just four meters wide, there is hardly any room for error – an additional challenge on a course where every feature leads directly into the next. Clemens also knows just how much work goes into creating the finished course: “It's a pretty crazy feeling when something you've drawn suddenly becomes reality.”

30 Attempts. One Run.

Behind just a few minutes of video are ten days of building, countless hours of work by the shaping crew, trial and error - and Clemens Millauer’s numerous attempts. In the end, only one run counts.
