The 8th stop of the Nike 6.0 Stairset Battle Tour on 29 January 2011 at Kronplatz in Italy brought perfect conditions and a record turnout of 1,300 spectators. A total of 36 of the region's best threw down their best tricks on this second-to-last tour stop before the big final. Under sunny skies and pleasant temperatures just around 0°C, Kronplatz offered up a variety of slopes and a Nike 6.0-supported fun park. The center of attention was once again the stair set, placed right at the gondola's valley stop in plain view of all the après ski bars. With 360s both ways and a variety of tricks not seen on the tour so far - including a Hardway BS 270 - the riders fought for the ticket to the Nike 6.0 Air & Style.

Blasting into first place, Flo Achenrainer from Austria nailing a Cab 360 to 50-50, FS 360 to 50-50 and the first Hardway BS 270 to Boardslide of the tour.
