Therefore it couldn’t have been a better day.’ says favorite Elias Elhardt, who won the contest with his Frontside 360 Stalefish – Frontside Boardslide run for style, and a Frontside 900 Melon – 270 Frontside Boardslide on his technical run.

Marco Smolla´s statement about the clip:
“Lederhosn – the traditional Bavarian dress. Locals wear it all year and everyone else wears it at least for the two weeks at the Oktoberfest in Munich. After an amazing time at the Wiesn (Oktoberfest) Elias and Me decided to just keep on wearing our Lederhosn and go to Hintertux to shred the slushy park there. Watch out for some new Lederhosn Outerwear at next years Ispo…”

Together with the 2 former snowboard pros Jens Anselstetter and Heinz Löhle, Germany´s reigning ‘Rider of the Year’ and TSG pro rider Elias Elhardt has launched the project elooa Camps which will start in the winter season 2011/2012.
The ideology behind elooa Camps is simple, but the concept unique: International snowboard pros, certificated coaches and the founders themselves offer the participants an incredible snowboard weekend including pro coaching, photo shoots and video analysis. The participants will get an interesting insight into the snowboard scene and at the same time profit from the pro’s experience and passion.
“We would like to pass on our expert knowledge as well as enthusiasm for snowboarding and push the individual skills of each single one, no matter if it is about trying your first 180 or stomping a 720″, says Elias Elhardt, who will be joining the first 2 elooa Camps in Hintertux and Stubai.
We are happy to support eelooa Camps and highly recommend you to visit it.
www.elooa.com is online now and the dates for the first 5 elooa Camps are set!
It was ten years back when Elias Elhardt was in Saas Fee, Switzerland with his family and he got to learn the back flip and got soo much into snowboarding he could not stop it anymore.

Enjoy Elias little edit form his last year’s natural terrain riding.
Elias: “I really like all the different directions in freestyle Snowboarding, but there’s one I love even more than anything else… Riding Natural terrain. Being out there in the Backcountry, thinking of your own line, take off and landing. It’s all just imagination up until you finally try it and draw your line into the untouched field. This gives me the best feeling ever! For that reason I wanted to show you this little clip of natural hits that I did last year. Enjoy.”
