It was a perfect day up on the Dachstein glacier in Schladming, Austria for the 4Star Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam where riders were greeted with bluebird skies, warm weather and light winds.  The day kicked off with men’s and women’s slopestyle semi-final rounds in the morning and finished off with finals in the afternoon.  TSG rider Elias Elhardt brought his A-game to win for the second consecutive year with his final run in the men’s competition.

ELIAS ELHARDT MOVES INTO TTR TOP 50
With some top riders in attendance in men’s field it turned out to be quite the competition with riders pushing each other throughout the day.  Elias Elhardt has been working his way into the spotlight on the TTR tour and won today’s event with a Cab 540, backside 1080 double cork, frontside 900 and a crowd pleasing Cab 180 rock to 360 out on the wallride. With his win today, Elias earned himself a Top 50, spot in the TTR World Rankings.

Silvia Mittermueller caught everybody’s eye during training but unfortunately didn’t make it into finals. “I risked a lot but unfortunately couldn’t land my tricks clean. I am still satisfied with my performance and am now preparing for the season to show full performance in January. My goal is to compete at as many 5 and 6Star events as possible with great results in order to maintain my TOP 10 ranking.”
