(The Hague, NED, December 21, 2025) From December 19 to 21, Snowfest The Hague once again traditionally hosted the grand finale of the Rock A Rail Tour. The fifth and final tour stop marked the conclusion of a highly successful third season and brought top-level international freestyle action to the Dutch city. In the snowboard competition, Katja Dutu (NED) and Botond Fricz (HUN) claimed the victories, The Snowfest Village, featuring numerous stations, brought the excitement of winter sports to life and drew many visitors throughout the weekend, while Sunday’s program focused on children and families with the dedicated Kids Day.

Rock A Rail stands out like no other format for urban street-style freestyle at world-class level. Creative and technically demanding setups challenge riders year after year. With five tour stops in autumn 2025, the tour once again confirmed its position as the leading international in-city rail contest format.
