A few ideas:

- Georg Rabanser (he indeed got the molds and started production)
- Francesco aka Silber (has the same boots)
- Elvis (he is surely not dead...)
- Brad Pitt (ran away from Angelina....)

Got it?

Tommaso2k has the grey .900, right? The 'famous' guy has the yellow .950 if I'm not mistaken. The more I think about it the more certain I become that it was Elvis. You know the Elvis song 'Blue suede shoes'?

Finally someone stepped on his blue suede shoes, so he had to change to yellow Northwaves.... that simple. :wink:

But the Person wears a full ear covering winter sports helmet (copper-chrome), according to EN 1077 and not only a "bicycle helmet" (EN 1078) like You can see on head of one of the guys from Swoard Team.

Bode Miller?
He already owns a Kessler snowboard, so maybe he got some NW to accompany them? (Board on picture doesn't look like a Kessler at all though)

Was this photo taken at the SG Invitational or maybe at the Swiss Junior Championships last weekend (I think they were last weekend)? (I wasn't there as I preferred to go to the LBC in Stuben instead, with tons of fresh pow to enjoy).

I wrote about freeriding, not races or race-events!

After overlaying the person whith a huge spray of powder, when I stoped in deep snow, the answer comes as a sweet swiss "Juchtz" (positive expression).

The person is winner of several World Championsship Gold-medals on snowboard.
