Rip Off Session Returns to Kläppen Friday April 17

Snowboard, skateboard and nonstop progression in the French Alps.
The World Rookie Tour now moves to France for the World Rookie Camp Les Deux Alpes (May 10th–17th, 2026), one of the key spring events in Europe.
This year’s edition is shaping up to be the largest European camp combining snowboard and skateboard, with a wide range of activities and workshops running throughout the week. Riders will train on the glacier and in the skatepark, experiencing a full mix of progression and lifestyle.
Set at over 3400 meters, the camp will feature a dedicated Rookie Prime Line, alongside daily sessions, video shooting and off-snow activities designed to push both riding level and community vibes.
The week will also host two official competitions, giving riders the chance to step into the international stage:
• French Fries Rookie Fest (Skateboard) | May 13th
• Spring Rookie Fest (Snowboard) | May 16th –17th
All contests will award points for the World Rookie Rank and offer qualification spots for the World Rookie Skateboard Finals 2026 and World Rookie Snowboard Finals 2027.
With around 60 riders expected from more than 15 nations, the camp confirms its strong international appeal and growing role within the World Rookie Tour ecosystem.
Organized in partnership with Les Deux Alpes, this will be the fourth edition of the camp, and expectations are high for a full-on week of riding, progression and next-level energy.
Registrations are closing tomorrow, meaning this is the last call before the action kicks off.
