We’re back with another pro snowboarder Mixtape this Wednesday morning, and this time round it’s the young Dutch master Jesse Augustinus. Dang, son, ya boy sure loves that gangsta sheet.
ELIAS ELHARDT IS A “CALM PERSON WHO THINKS BEFORE HE TALKS;” “AS A RIDER HE IS A FREAKING CAT:” ”(HE IS) JUST HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING;” ” SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU TALK TO A WALL WHEN HE’S DAYDREAMING.” THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE DESCRIPTIONS GIVEN BY FOLK WHO KNOW ELIAS ELHARDT.
In early November, we accompanied the Nike 6.0 team on a short trip from Manchester to Halifax. We shared the car with Kevin Backström, Jamie
Nicholls and Gjermund Braaten and having spaced out the Travel Scrabble set we decided it was time we played a little game of Knowledge.

Snowboarders have always been ravenous for any kind of shred sustenance, but recently the way we sink our teeth into snowboarding’s rumpsteak has changed immeasurably. Following the sport used to be a much more lethargic affair: In the days of old school shred media kids went snowboarding.
For a while we have been setting up riders against each other in a little web game of shred trivia called “the Knowledge”. On our website you can check these out on onboardsnowboarding.com/tag/the-knowledge.
JP Solberg has been a household name in snowboarding ever since he won the Transworld Rookie of the Year award in 2002. Over most of the decade he impressed us with his backcountry prowess and style. However, with his untimely exit from the Burton global team, his era seemed to have ended. But fortune favours the brave and he landed on his feet with his own board company YES.
For this month’s 13 for luck we tracked down young german ripper Marco Smolla in his beloved hometown of Munich. For the first time in three years the bavarian steered clear of severe injuries and locked down a solid video part in Isenseven’s latest banger Don’t Panic.
