The 2008 Red Bull Gap session went down in Garmisch Partenkirchen Germany March 8th 2008.

The huge step up gap jump with a ski jump run in was about 60 feet distance to clear (plus uphill) with top run in speed around 80kph. Originally is was not supposed to be a Gap jump but due to shortage of snow they had to built it this way.

Antti Autti was at the GAP session throwing down

Markus Keller is one of the top riders on the European scene, big fast backside 7

Sani Alibabic backside 540. Sani was the first to try out the jump, nobody wanted to come up short or overshoot the landing so the right speed was crucial.

Sani kicks off the night session. The European Photographer scene is well equipped for a night shoot!

Boris Benedek filming from a 500 pound home made Heli, this thing was nutz and as it was so small could get insane angles not otherwise possible.

David Benedek gets the day session going and stomps a double corked frontside 10 grabbing mute for his first time. He won best trick of the week for this. The video footage from the heli pictured is totally insane, check the GAP web video out in the vid

Frederik Kalbermatten back 7 nosegrab.

Dan Brisse came over to shred the GAP session and blew his boot dryer up too, yes the voltage is different in Europe.

Dan Brisse frontside 7. Brisse threw got close to some double corked 10¿s in the day session too.

The scene. 4 days before the event everything in this photo would have been brown other than the jump, they lucked out big time with a snowfall 3 days before giving them enough snow to make a solid run in.
