Along with inclusivity and collaboration, the Team Battle acts as a platform to exercise creative expression, and beyond the short list of requirements, and ingenuity, individuality can flourish as fundamental pillars that offer near-limitless potential. As a result of this creative expanse, the tone, feeling, riding, and styling of each video is incredibly unique and Team Forest led the forefront of this effort as their video is terrifically original. Captained by Ewan Jaspan, Team FOREST was fully stacked with a list of prestigious riders who are all overwhelmingly talented. The expertise of Eric Rienstra, Chris Bobryk, and Colleen Carroll helped Team FOREST secure a third-place finish in the 2023 Team battle. Joining this list of distinguished riders was Leo Verrechia, a new-comer to the Team Battle and voted by his peers as the best Rookie. Together, these five kept the pressure on throughout the entirety of the Battle, making the most of the week’s variable conditions and forging ahead to curate a masterpiece worthy of the podium. For the 2023 Team Battle, the Kite Park League would like to congratulate Team FOREST for their third-place finish and incredible display of riding, creativity, and video composition. Please sit back and enjoy the visual efforts of Team FOREST.
KPL TEAM BATTLE 2023 – HOOD RIVER, OR.
The KPL introduces a fun new competition format where riders come together in teams with the focus set on showcasing the best most creative riding in a video part. By the end of the week, prizes will be awarded to standout riders, the best crash, rookies, the best tricks, and obviously the best team video!
Video Criteria: Each rider has to include a minimum of one clip in the video, but a single rider cannot exceed 10 clips. Beyond these basic parameters, creativity, collaborative efforts, and team ingenuity will be the driving force in determining the winner of the 2023 Hood River Team Battle. On September 2nd, the riders will be given the opportunity to exercise their own judgment and cast their ballots for the team they believe has produced the best video.
