NY Snowboarding Rail Jam

Alex Rieger — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 09:42:00 +0000

I went to New York on Thursday, February 8th to meet up with Scott Mallette who is the agent of Mike Goldschmitd, Scott Lago, Tyler Emond and other kids. He told me about that rail incity competition directly at union square and I guessed it is the perfect place to meet. When I arrived in the afternoon, the warm up session with Lago, Wall, Magoon, Vito, MFM, Kaas and many other high roller has already started. The crowd could not get stopped by the ice cold wind which blew all over the place and screamed for more 270`s all night long Best trick was Lucas Magoon`s massive back tail 450 off on the big kink rail but winner of the contest and of $15K was Mr Wall who was definitely the most hard partying guy at the after party (s). It is fashion week in NYC, baby!

Air & Style was Awesome

Hey Fellas,

I had the pleasure to watch Air&Style life this weekend and it was awesome.

The riders stomped tricks, never seen before in a row and the crowd got crazy. The atmosphere in the Munich Olympic stadium was like during the soccer world champs and specially while David Benedeks double cork 12s, Antti Auttis fs 12 tail and Trices double back late bs 180 the Munich audience was loud!

On Sunday, after three party nights and a bad hangover, I still could not believe what I saw a day before.

Right now I am packing my boardbag to go to Breckenridge with some of the ratiopharm snowboard team members, Christophe Schmidt, Xaver Hoffmann, the Strauss twins and Silli Mittermueller to shoot some stuff and have great time together in the Colorado pow.

I will keep you updated!

Cheers

Hey Fellas!

Just came home from Rail Battle in Augsburg, Germany. It started on Friday morning with qualification of 55 snowboarders and 15 girls. A lot of international riders found their way to Augsburg City Gallery like Fredrik Evensen, Erik Botner, Daniel Ek, Kareem El – Rafie, Mike Casanova, Silvia Mittermueller, Peter König, Marco Smolla, Marco Swoboda, hole isenseven crew including speaker Esel (Donky) and a lot more.

The best of all, we were in the same hotel all together and so the party was program…

On Saturday, the final day, the best 40 boys and 10 best girls battled themselves in k.o. system. At the end the crowed get stoked by the best 10 male and 5 female shredheads and the winners Erik Botner and Silvia Mittermueller.

After the competition and short shower all the riders met up in Cinemaxx to party themselves. The last came home right exactly for breakfast, it was awesome!

Thanks Lautlos – Crew for a fun weekend!

The Legendary Kaunertal Opening

Hello Fellas, my name is Alex Rieger. I just started working for Millhaus in Munich this June to do the HEAD Snowboards and ratiopharm snowboard team management. I would call it my dream job!

This weekend I visited the legendary Kaunertal opening with HEAD rider Fredrik Evensen and his good friend Christopher. We arrived Friday morning and the weather was just perfect. Bluebird all day long and not to crowded. But the snow condition was as bad as never before, so they could not do a slopestyle competition. Instead of slopestyle they decided to do a jibjam on a kinkbox… At least it was fun to party hard at famous “Kiwi” and watch all the snowboarding alcoholics
