The 6290 Show Up presented by TDI (@technicallydoingit), taking place at PenkenPark in Mayrhofen from March 27-29, 2024, is the very first inclusive snowboard event in Europe. This unique event gathers renowned names from the snowboarding world, with top riders from the US, including Zeb Powell and Rob Roethler. Esteemed personalities like X Games Chief of Sport Culture / Host and Public figure Selema Masekela will also grace the event, alongside a stellar lineup of European riders.
The initiator of this very special event is US-American Luis Medearis, who is living his dream travelling the world to capture some of the best snowboarders in the world on film. He is part of TDI, an all-black snowboarding crew comprised of Zeb Powell, Rob Roethler, Keir Dillon, and many more talented riders. The crew is creating a space for people of color in snowboarding. Luis says this about his motivation: “I am seeing the effects that the TDI crew has been receiving when going to different mountains and events and seeing the positive energy that revolves around providing a diverse atmosphere. Bringing the snowboard community together and mixing the culture together strengthens our sport and invites more people to learn how to snowboard. Snowboarding loves more snowboarders.” The European premiere of the 6290 Show Up is a huge milestone for the community: “Hosting the first inclusivity event in Europe is an amazing opportunity to pave the way to making the mountains more colorful as Zeb would say. Diversity in snowboarding is on the rise at a high level and this is the perfect opportunity to build on that. The conversation of diversity in Europe has been a quiet one and we are excited to give it a big TDI welcome this March and further the conversation.”
