Oct 13, 2011, Landgraaf, NL: No one was able to beat our SG riders in this first Parallel Slalom of the season! Roland “Fisch” Fischnaller had the fastest legs, as he wins the race in the “fridge” of Landgraaf. Right after him, there goes Aaron March, teammate from Italy, who also won all his heats, and only was edged out by Fisch. It was a fine result for the SG Teamriders: Strong performance of Patrick Bussler, GER,  and Andrey Sobolev, RUS on 6th and 7th place. Also Nevin Galmarini, SUI, Toni Unterkofler, AUT, and the boss Sigi Grabner himself had their first successful appearance in the first WorldCup Finals of this year!

SG rider Marion Kreiner gets 3rd in the ladies’ event. Being the fastest in the qualification, she was unlucky with a slight mistake in the semifinal – and only could fight in the Small Finals for her right to the podium. Which she made very clear against young Italian lady Nathalie Ochner. Big smile from the first podium of the season, congratulations Marion!

It was a great race,” said Ledecka from the awards podium, “A very well-prepared course, so thanks to everybody for that, and thanks to all the fans for such a great atmosphere.

It’s all about the soul of snowboarding. Making turns. The SOUL will take you where the joy of carving lives. It is a real carving toy for softboot riders. Easy carving. High performance carving. Just carving. When you feel the edge, the speed and the wind in your face. Come and feel the soul of snowboarding. Available in these lengths: 149, 154, 159 and 59 FAT, 164

The name of the board model is SOUL. This means passion from deep inner heart and being one with the activity you do. Our SG SOUL board is the symbol for being ONE with riding out of deep passion. Being in the flow of snowboarding. This board SOUL will represent the essence of snowboarding.

In the SOUL graphics this spirit should be remembered. The graphics as representative of the SOUL spirit everywhere:

– 2016/17 the mask of Guy Fawkes, (known in the movie Vendetta) representing the passion for justice and rebellion against the injustice in the history of man. (Today represented by the Anonymous Movement against international Bank Mafia.) SOUL against financial greed.

– 2017/18 the picture of Sitting Bull, Big Chief of Red Indians, Natives of North America who defend their majestic wide nature against the exploitation, subjugation and greed. SOUL and pride of being a native connected to the Big Nature.

Good times for our SG PRO TEAM rider Ester Ledecka. She has claimed victory in the first of two parallel giant slalom races staged in Rogla. Ledecka also secured her fourth win in six races in the Slovenian resort with today’s one being the third in a row. STR you are the best!

You are awesome!
