Day 2 of ISPO is done and we’ve been continuing to beat our way through the hallowed halls to bring you a preview of the freshest snowboard product for the 2011/12 season. Check out yesterday’s highlights from Nikita, Nike 6.0, Bataleon, Lobster, Skullcandy, Artec, Vans, Elan and more…

“The second tourstop of the Elan Trick Tip Tour in Bottrop/Germany is history. Here is the podcast of what went down.”

ELAN TRICK TIP TOUR READY TO BOSS PROGRESSION

Elan Snowboards is gearing up for winter by launching the Elan Trick Tip Tour, offering kids of all ages a rare chance to pick up some tips from our pro riders while taking our all-new gear out for a test ride. Spreading the word via leaflet distribution in local shops and ski resorts, the Elan Trick Tip Tour is aiming to recruit a veritable army of young supershreds-in-the-making – each and every one of them eager to add something new to their bag of tricks.

A fully stocked Elan Snowboards test booth will serve as the designated meeting point for all Trick Tip Tour participants. From there, riders that sign up to sessions will be invited to try out our 2010/11 gear while also grilling our pro riders on the do’s and don’ts of shred-related trickery. At the end of each Trick Tip Tour session, we’ll be dishing out a free snowboard to the rider deemed most worthy of recognition, whether that be for best trick, most improved rider or even biggest bail – so watch this space!

If you can’t make it in person, you’ll be pleased to know we’ll be capturing all the action on film before uploading it as downloadable podcasts on www.elansnowboards.com – keep tuning in as autumn gives way to winter to see what gets thrown down and to find out who walks away with what.

Come the end of the season, we’ll also be giving away a complete Elan Snowboards set-up to one very lucky winner in our special end-of-season free prize draw.
