Gian Simmen Retires from Competitive Snowboarding - Legends Session at the O'Neill Evolution
It ends where it all started. Right here in Davos. In 1996 a quiet, shy, pimple pocked, braces wearing DJ, Skate, Snowboarder punk won his first major title only meters from where this piece is being penned. It was a Swiss Championships. And his name was Gian Simmen. To celebrate the man, and his last official contest here at the O'Neill Evolution, Gian has organized a 'Legends Session' -- and legendary it was.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Our first digitally global Spring Battle is over and we are pumped about the participation and feedback we have gotten from all of you. Thanks to all the riders who have submitted their tricks and thanks to everyone who shared, liked and supported this experiment! We are grateful that we could make this happen and hope we delivered some good entertainment. We know we have to improve some things in the concept and tune our systems to make sure all riders, who want to compete can do so in a fair and consistent way. We will find solutions and be back with an even better, bigger and hopefully also a regular Spring Battle in 2022. Have fun riding wherever you are and stay loose. Here‘s some clips that unfortunately fell through the grid this year. Probs to them! #RideOnJake @burtonsnowboards @bluetomato @redbull @visitflachau @world.snowboarding
