In the last few years more and more contests have been held in Europe exclusively for girls. Kickerlines, rails and other obstacles specially designed for the needs of the female riders were built and put to use.
In the summer of 2006 a few of the most popular European AM – Girls contests united to create the Soul Gang Tour, sponsored by Cooler. Throughout 2007 the Soul Gang Tour will be taking stops around Europe to celebrate female snowboarders.
