Canadian Ambush Rider Ron Tremblay’s interview

March 20th, 2010

What would be the first question you wouldn’t have an answer for?
-What is life?

What in your eyes made you what you are today?

- A series of completely random events.

How did you get into this?

- My addiction to adrenaline.


What is the meaning of style and who’s got it in your eyes?

- Style is someone who looks good without trying to look good .Or, in the case of snowboarding, does tricks without trying to make it look good. Someone who tries’s to much is really bad style to me. Read the rest of this entry »

European Freeskiing Open 2010 – McRae Diary

March 20th, 2010

… by McRae Williams

First of all, this was my first year attending the European Freeskiing Open, and let me just say it was an amazing time even though the majority of the event was canceled. After all the good things I had heard about the previous years in Laax, I had to make it happen. Skiing, partying, hot chicks, and amazing chocolate; what more could a guy ask for.

Early Monday morning, my trip began as I headed to the Salt Lake City International Airport. Three planes, two trains, and a bus later I arrived in Laax. I can’t even begin to explain the beauty of these mountains. I hauled my luggage through the town in awe of my surroundings, as I desperately searched for my place. Once I finally found it, I was amazed at how much more luxurious the living was compared to those at the riders palace, courtesy of Orage. I stashed my things and headed out for some serious exploration. Little did I know, I would be up early the next morning ready to compete.

For the second consecutive year, Volcom Stone’s Peanut Butter and Rail Jam stopped in Luz Ardiden, a small resort located in the French Pyrenees.

A LITTLE MEMO FROM ASLE

March 13th, 2010

Hi folks!

Now we are in the second week of our tour de alps. So far we’ve been in some different places, mostly we have hade a lot of sunshine and not too much powder. Still we have had some really good times.

At the moment we are sitting in the café of Nangijala in Disentis and look at the snow falling from the sky nicely. So perhaps our powder dancing has been registered.  We’re going to be down in the Alps to March 15. Have not been skiing any quite spectacular yet, but have a few days with some small drops and some crashing.
Sending some photos that one of the guys we have traveled with have taken, he do not work as a photographer, but learned, however, that when you run the rocks are gray clothes may not be the smartest!  So the next time it is photo time I take my colorful clothes out.

Greets,

Asle

Superunknown VI Finalists – Top 25

March 10th, 2010

Level 1: “In a year where we’ve received far and away more Superunknown entries then ever before (over 100 from around the globe!), it’s also been the toughest decision making process to date. So, this year instead of a top 15, we’ve upped it to include the top 25 (though, 28 really), and even that was a hard number to whittle things down to. For every finalist, there was at least one other worthy contender that could have taken their place.

Amongst those 25 AMPLID’s got 2 riders: Luka Melloni from Spain ad McRae Williams From the US. CHeck out their vids right here…:
