Eiki and MFR in Snowboarder Magazine's Rider of the Year Issue

Jan 21, 2009 - 02:29 PM

Snowboarder Magazine just released their annual Rider of the Year issue. After an epic first real season traveling on the Rome team, our own Eiki Helgason was named "Rookie of the Year". Eiki put down some of the heaviest tricks of the year and ended up grabbing the closing part in No Correct Way. Jeremy Jones jib had this to say about Eiki; "Out of nowhere completely! That's the real meaning of a rookie: to me anyway!" and Gigi Ruff simply said "He's got it all!"

Our favorite female hellion Marie-France Roy found herself in the number 2 spot in the Women's Riders of the Year list, but also grabbed "Female Video Part of the Year" and a great quote from DCP "Her Part in the Rome video was very sick- good mix of things, good music, sweet pow footage, well rounded and new locations"

Congrats to Eiki and MFR for a job well done! Grab a copy today from your local shred shop
