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.
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.
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.
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!
After a four month forced break, Elias Elhardt is finally back on his board. He still feels a bit strange on the board but sure remembers how to ride! Have a look yourself!
Together with Elias in this clip you ll see the rest of the Nitro Team, Dominik Wagner, Marc Swoboda, Benny Urban and the friends Danni Rangiani, Alex The Tank and the new hip hop rising star from Sweden Ludwig Lejkner riding rail under a rain of dollar bills.
Enjoy the ride
Peepshow gathered footage from a lot of the ladies in their upcoming movie to put together this edit of strictly park clips. TSG rider Silvia Mittemrüller got a bunch of great closing shots. Check it out now!
Elias Elhardt shares his new episode of Elias & Friends featuring his first USA trip to the X-Games in Colorado. Although this special trip didn’t end as expected it was for sure a trip that Elias will remember.
Check couple laps in Breckenridge park, some shredding with Mathieu Crepel in Aspen and big air action.
We have added the young hungarian snowboarder Viktor Szigeti to our team. Viktor has been supported by our hungarian distributor since quite a while and is now officially part of our ambassador team.
Viktor just finished with a sensational 1st place at the Plan P contest at Horsefeather Superpark Planai (Qparks Tour 2011).
Viktor rocking the snow parks. He visits the ski sports college in Schladming, Austria, what gives him great opportunities to practice with brilliant coaches. Being a very motivated and positive thinking rooky, Victor is constantly on the road, traveling from contest to contest with photo shoots in between. Victor has already some great sponsors on his side and will prove soon that he can compete with the big names. He is aiming at participating at the X-Games and the Olympic Games in the future.
