Elias Elhardt pro model product focus

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

visit snowboardermbm.de and check out what Elias is wearing this coming season.

Read below what he says about his helmet (for german-speaking only):

„Ich war echt stoked, dass mir TSG so viel Freiheit bei der Entwicklung und dem Design des Helms gegeben hat. Das Design stammt von Ludschi. Er zeigt mit nur einem Strich alles was mir wichtig ist: Freunde, Freiheit, Reisen, Natur, Musik und gutes Essen. Mir war wichtig, dass der Helm sehr leicht ist und trotzdem vollen Schutz gewährleistet. Er ist einer der leichtesten Helme auf dem Markt und erfüllt trotzdem alle Sicherheitstests.

SILVIA MITTERMÜLLER JOINS TSG TEAM

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

We are happy to welcome snowboarder Silvia Mittermüller to the team. As of now, she will officially be riding with TSG helmet and protectors.

Silvia Mittermüller has been enthusiastic about the design, fit and protection performance of TSG’s safety products for two years. Now we finally sealed this partnership and welcomes Silvia as the new official TSG Snowboard Team member.

Silvia Mittermüller has been snowboarding since 1997 and managed to make a name for herself in the international snowboarding circuit pretty fast. Born and bred in the Alps, Silva spent a lot of time in the USA where she was recognized and admired because of her versatile on-snow skills and unique snowboarding style.

Silvia’s schedule for the next season involves filming and contests and again, a lot of time in the States.

And the contest season kicked off super promising for her. Just last week Silvia finished 4th in the slopestyle competition of the New Zealand Open, and 12th in the pipe. The current BGO (Burton Global Tour) ranking features Silvia as 2nd place while she kicked off the TTR (Ticket To Ride) season with a solid 4th place.

TSG’s motto “Designed by Riders” has already become a live experience for Silvia. Following a relaxed wake surf session at Zürisee (lake Zurich), Silvia found herself designing and developing new ideas for next year’s products together with the TSG R&D team.

Silvia chose the Lotus women’s snowboard helmet, the Big Bear kneeguard and Backbone Trooper back protector to protect her on the mountain.

Welcome to the team, Silvia!

We welcome freeskier Caja Schöpf

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Caja Schöpf is the new TSG team mate of freeskier Bene Mayr; as of now, she will be riding with our helmets and protectors.

Caja has skied professionally since 2004 and is one of Germany’s best female freeskiers today including contest successes in Europe and beyond. In 2009, she became the first female member of the FIAT Freestyle Team, which added to her high profile and recognition. Caja is very disciplined in organizing her life and knows how to combine her studies and sports perfectly. She acts and poses for photo shoots in between and even finds time to organize and supervise camps, such as the Young Blood Girlie Camp on the Zugspitze (mountain).

Caja’s 2010/11 season will involve participating in the most important contests in Europe as well as plenty of shootings to collect high-quality footage for movies and magazines. In addition to this, Caja plans to organize 1 or 2 exotic “girls only” trips but will not yet reveal the destinations.

Caja chose the Lotus women’s snowboard helmet, the TSG back protector and crash pants to protect her on the mountain.

Welcome to the team, Caja!

Floriane Pugin won the silver medal only just 0.36 seconds behind her french compatriot Miriam Nicole. Emilie Siegenthaler came in fourth.
