About Elena

Elena put down an incredible run at X Games Aspen in 2017 that earned the 28-year-old her first X Games gold medal. She will make her 14th X Games appearance in 2018 and now finally has a medal of every color with 1 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze. Elena made history in 2013 when she landed a double alley-oop backside rodeo at XG Aspen, becoming the first woman to land a double cork in any competition and the first person male or female to perform that specific trick in a comp. Passionate about healthy living and conserving the environment, Elena is busy with Protect Our Winters (POW) and Boarding for Breast Cancer (B4BC) when she's not on her riding.
