Elena Hight Joins Nike 6.0

Right on the heels of Elena Hight being officially welcomed to Volcom’s snow team, Nike 6.0 has announced that the 19-year-old is part of the family.

“Elena is a great addition to our team. Nike 6.0 has always been about the youth and capturing the energy and enthusiasm of this culture on and off the snow. Elena can ride it all, but is best known for her explosive halfpipe runs. Despite her age, Elena has the confidence, focus, and talent of a seasoned pro. She is pushing women’s snowboarding to a new level, and has the kind of style that earns her the respect and recognition of snowboarders young and old.” said Barrett Christy, Snowboard Mentor for the Nike 6.0 team.

Hight’s credentials are well-known but most recently she’s won the Van’s Cup Halfpipe two years running.

Already on the Nike 6.0 team are snowboarders Mason Aguirre, Broc Waring, Matt Ladley, Ellery Hollingsworth, Trevor Jacob, Bryn Valaika, Ben Watts, and Ross Baker.
