Fichtl is everywhere, and especially on many covers! Check out last issue from MBM, Method and Withelines.. He scored in collaboration with Basti Gogl, Frode Sandbech and Vanessa Andrieux! Good job guys!! Rock on!

The whole summer I was wondering how and when the next season is going to start, and my guess on mid november was way too late. My homeresort got covered with a solid 20inch powder carped in mid October. As I first saw the flakes dropping, it felt like butterflys in my belly and turned into a slayer concert in my head after. I also could hear a big happy scream of snowboarders around europe. We decided to leave the video cameras at home and keep a free mind, so I was strapping on my Texas board and rode down hill for full first day excitement. Luckily the wizard was there to freeze the some images.

Elias starts his season with a crazy part in Pirates movie and just rocked the first Freestyle.Berlin during the crossover session! Better to get a taste of what Elias has to say about it: "To ride a contest in my homeland Germany was pretty special for me and I liked the fact that Snowboarding was brought to people who would normally never see it.

On Saturday was the qualification day. In the Training everything went perfect and I landed all my tricks. When the contest was finally on, I wasn't able to handle the mind game and couldn't put my tricks down. For a moment I really forgot that there was still some more riding to come. The Cross Over session. Without any expectations it went well for me and I ended up in the super Finals. As the crowed was in charge of deciding who would go through I just went for a simple backflip, which was so much fun doing, and it worked out. In the Super finals I did the bs 1080 double cork. I was pretty happy about it and the crowd seemed to be stoked too, because they somehow cheered loud enough to make me the "Crossover Champ". From that Moment on, it was just party time full on. That night I slept something like two hours and on the next day we had a amazing party again. All the riders where really stoked on the whole event and partied like there was no tomorrow. Big up."
