ELIAS ELHARDT - WORLD EXCLUSIVE

Elias Elhardt is a shred from Germany, He was coming up fast in the Junior ranks in the middle of last decade winning pretty much everything he entered and on the tip of everyone's tounges. All was looking peachy until he was struck down with lung troubles that kept him off snow for a season.

Fast foward to the present and he is well on his way to establishing himself as one of the shining lights on the ttr, currently sitting at 10th after a 3rd place at the Air and Style in China.

On top of all the contest glory he seriously kills the powder. I first noticed him in a Rip Curl video from a season or two back where he had by far the standout part and was ruling the natural terrain.

Here is another edit from him and his buddies enjoying a day at the Penken Park which is one of the funnest parks we have ever ridden in one of the sickest valleys anywhere, the Ziller! And to top things off we have an exclusive interview to boot.

Enjoy it.
