I-Pod lands world’s first Cab Double Cork 1440
Friday, March 22nd, 2013Iouri Podladtchikov wins the Arctic Challenge
Tuesday, March 12th, 2013
After an evening filled with outstanding riding, it was finally TSG’s Iouri “iPod” Podlatchikov who won the Arctic Challenge title, ahead of Chinese Yiwei Zhang and the Japanese shooting star Ayumu Hirano.
When Iouri returned to Oslo this week he was determent to defend his title as the World Champion, and so he did. His winning run was highly technical, combined with great hight and style consisting of the following:
A skyhigh frontside 900, followed by a backside 900 mute, frontside 1080 tailgrab and with the finale hit of a giant cab doublecork 1080 mutegrab, a run which gave him a total score of 90.2 points.
Iouri commented: “The Arctic Challenge is a contest that I used to wait for, because it’s always been in the end of the season and it’s always been on a high level; of technical difficulty and also a high level on style. I am very proud that we still represent that today; really represent snowboarding the way that it should be – for example those big Backside Airs and some really really good grabs that you don’t see often, that’s important to me. And to be the winner right now is just insane! I’m excited to ride more contests with Ayumu in it; he’ll obviously be there in the future. There are not too many riders that have a little bit of skate style. I’m a skater and he’s a skater. I really like to watch people that have a little bit of skate style in their riding. So excited about that, and I hope that he’ll develop his tricks even more.”
Congrats Iouri!

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011
Current freeride world champion 2011 Anne-Flore Marxer has already been wearing TSG’s helmet and protection gear when she unleashed her spectacular run at the Extreme de Verbier contest as part of the Freeride World Tour 2011.
Anne-Flore is known for her open-minded attitude and energetic character. She just loves to rock wherever she is, whether it’s in the park, in the backcountry or on the disco dance floor. She is 100 percent all the time, making her a valuable and suitable member of TSG’s international pro team.
More than 20 cover shots for both snowboarding and mainstream magazines, as well as countless video segments are proof of her talent. Transworld Snowboarding elected her Rookie of the Year 2006. She then set out to collect another set of titles, among them second Most Influential Female Snowboarder of all times (Slack Magazine), Best International Rider and French Rider of the Year. Plus in 2010, Anne-Flore was the second most important Swiss person on the internet behind Roger Federer.
We are super happy to welcome Anne-Flore to our team. She is not only a great and extremely talented ambassador of our brand but she is also involved in product development. We are all inspired by her communicative personality and her valuable experience which she brings along to push our women’s line.
Anne-Flore rides with the Lotus snowboard helmet and Evolution skate helmet as well as the new women’s protectors collection. And she is currently working on a design for her new pro model helmet in 2012/13.
Welcome to the team Anne-Flore!

Elias epic revival in Saas Fee
Tuesday, September 13th, 2011It 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.
Together with best friend and TSG ‘s ambassador team rider Friedl May and Saas Fee local hustler Alessandro Boyens this summer was time for an epic revival, check out here how much fun they had shredding the park and every little bumps in between.
Right after we organized a photoshoot with Elias and photographer Carlos Blanchard for next season’s campaign. Big props and thanks to the Saas Fee tourism and cableway offices for support and great hospitality. If you next trip brings you to Switzerland make sure you get some riding in Saas Fee.
Silvia Mittermueller takes gold at Winter Games Big Air
Thursday, August 25th, 2011
Congrats to our snowboard lady Silvia Mittermueller, taking gold at the New Zealand Winter Games yesterday.
After a challenging season with a dislocated elbow followed by a rolled ankle, Silvia was happy to turn a page today taking the top spot amongst the women.
She attributed her success today in part to a desire to avoid hitting the knuckle and further injuring her ankle. “I knew I had to go big today to avoid injury,” she said. “After a series of injuries and some bad luck I am really happy with today’s results and hope I’ve shown the German national team selectors that I’m capable.” Silvia also has her sites set on competing in the new Olympic discipline of slopestyle in 2014.
Weirdest part for Silvia was when they played the German national anthem at the price giving. The funniest part was that on TV they didnt show much snowboarding but the part where Silvia spoke about German nudist beaches. Great!
