Budapest is completely buzzing over it as we’re just a week out now.”

 

The centerpiece of the second annual Monster Energy Fridge Festival will again be the ten-story Big Air ramp, featuring top tier cash prizes – enough to earn the Monster Fridge a 4-star TTR rating! In addition, the Monster Energy Fridge Festival will be backed by more than 20 top level winter sports companies, including Burton, Atomic and Oakley.
