The hunting season begins…
From Oslo, Norway, Mikkel Bang first proved he meant business to the world when he won the Rookie Challenge at the Air & Style in 2006, gaining a wild card spot in the main event. The following year he powered through the knock out big air competition, beating many of the world’s best riders to take second place overall with an incredibly slick switch backside 1080. King of jibs and jumps, Mikkel rules in both slopestyle and big air competitions, in 2009 alone he racked up four podium spots at major events including the X Games, the Canadian Open and the Dew Tour. Famous for his endlessly positive attitude and enthusiasm for pretty much everything, Nike 6.0 are stoked to have him on board the footwear team and are looking forward to working with him in the 2010 season.
So hot right now after winning Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam and 7th place at Billabong Air & Style. Elias Elhardt will be riding in the International Team of Nitro Snowboards and Raiden Bindings for the upcoming season. Elias is not just only a sick rider, he has an amazing personality! Therefore they are all really happy go get a new member of the Nitro family!
Maybe it’s just us but we are always slightly stunned to read something about the Australian snowboard scene. They had the Australian Open alright and they still have the Stylewars, but are they REALLY riding down there? Nitro Snowboards just signed young Ozzie chap Nate Johnstone.
The rumors are true. As winter has arrived, so has Norwegian phenom Andreas Wiig to Forum’s pro team. Joining Peter Line, Eddie Wall, Pat Moore, Jake Welch, Stevie Bell, John Jackson, Nic Sauvé and Daniel Ek, Andreas is set to give it 110% this season. Whether riding the park, at a slopestyle event or filming in the backcountry, Wiig continually pushes his limits. And he is also the latest join Foursquare’s talented pro team.

After a night of action on the big air jump at the 6Star TTR Billabong Air & Style 2009/II in Innsbruck, Austria, Marko Grilc took the top spot on the podium and is now the new leader on Swatch TTR World Tour. Grilc was not on the original invite list, but after two injures during practice for the main event, he was given a spot in the legendary snowboard competition.
The comeback of the legendary Straight Jump format to the Bergisel Stadium was a full success. 11.500 fans witnessed their snowboard heroes at the Billabong Air & Style Innsbruck. On the perfectly working kicker, that replaced the quarterpipe of last year, Marko Grilc ruled the final of four with a Switch Backside 1080 Double Corked Mute Grab and 281 points. He only recently entered the starting the field of 16 riders after the Canadian Sebastien Toutant had to cancel because of an unfortunate injury. Peetu Piroiinen (21 years/FIN/268 Pts.) placed second and Andreas Wiig (28 years/NOR/251 Pts.) came in third.
UPDATE: Marko Grilc wins the Air & Style. Marko chipped in for the injured Seb Toutant and made the most out of it! He now stands on top of TTR rankings! Congrats. The starting field of the Billabong Air & Style is complete and the action is ON!

The Horsefeathers Pleasure Jam took place on Dachstein glaicer for the seventh time. This year again the contest was a Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour 4 Star Event. The audience got their money’s worth, everything from heavy fog to bluebird sky and more than enough wind to mess up anybody’s day. But weather conditions didn’t stop 70 men and 20 women from showing some awesome runs. Huge airs, big spins and double “everything” combinations. And not to mention the parties in the evening where it all went completely crazy.
