Welcome to shralp! episode 135 from October 18th 2009.
shralp! ignores again all that other sports and concerts and gets you snowboarding only. Here are the winners of the first qualification round Friday night and Saturday.

Like in Zürich, the crossover.champ Berlin is a snowboarder. Elias Elhardt, who didn’t make it in the regular finals, impressed crowd and judges with this Double Cork, beating FMX-rider Mat Rebeaud in the playoff.

Sunday was a busy and confusing day with all the finals.
Last seasons TTR champion Peetu Piiroinen, who won the finals with this trick, became 3rd in the Superfinals.

Hotzone.tv Park Opening

Hintertux, Austria / Oct. 2-4 2009

Early season snowfall in the States and now here in Europe give us hope for a long and gnarly season. The Park Opening in Hintertux did not benefit from these snowfalls, but weather and park were remarkable and attracted some famous names. See yourself.
