Here comes Benny Deeg on a 2009 Amplid proto with reverse camber. We told Benny it’s supposed to be ridden in powpow. But Benny won’t obey and goes ripping the park at Steinplatte instead. You’ll get to hear more about this board design soon…
A.R.C. artist Luis de Dios, working on 2010 Amplid graphics. Nope, he’s not on crack. More work of art you can check out on his website www.dediosm.com ! Enjoy …
Steve and Tom, discovering Red Bull. Pure though. The Jägermeister bottle is Brandon’s. Obviously. Drinking age, don’t forget !!!
The alps will get dumped. Up to 3ft. / 1m forcasted for the next 4 days. Wear your beacon… More info at our friends from snow-forecast.com right here!
Check out Tom’s latest coversot on this month’s SKIING Mag in Germany. If you wanna see more Wallisch action go to Erik Seo’s website and have a look at some extraordinary photography.

All you need to know is your home mountain, and you will find powpow even 1 month after the last snowfall. Christian Hohlrieder, shredding Pass Thurn. 2 days ago.
… after a long day with team riders up at Kirkwood, CA. Ready to escape into his Skull Candies and another beer! Prost!!!
This shows who takes team obligations and environmental issues seriously: A.K. Amplid team member Luke Thorington drove all the way from Juneau to Sierra at Tahoe (Summit County !!!) to show faith at the team photoshoot! Word Luke, right on. Looks like you’d sign the Kyoto protocol !
The price you have to pay for a nice kicker is (apart from poaching): Building one. A.R.C. ambush pilot Simon Günther invested some sweat into this mediumsized but heavenly kicker to shred his Declaration ’til sunset.
Tom, Steve, and the rest 4bi9 crew killing it at PC…
A.R.C.-Team member Dennis Ehlert is still suffering from his pneumonia.
He had to undergo a surgery last week and it’ll take another 3-4 week to get fully recovered.
Best wishes from Amplid and the whole Amplid Research Cartel
Mr. Hill, here at Hood for the Burton Am Series. Seth was the only rider to qualify for men’s finals in both slopestyle and pipe (5th and 4th place finishes). Look for him at the US Open in VT next month…
After a little “art-trip” to Copenhagen (read more), Floh went back to his Austrian mountains and spotted a really nice and sick line.
This week the conditions finally where nearly perfect and he went for it!
Only a few days before he qualified for the Snowfever 08 in Fieberbrunn!
Big Shout out !!!
Below some pics of the Amplid Fresstyle and Freedride Camp in Romania.

Engadin Snow. Yesterday: freeride day. Teddy starts. Sick line. Awesome off-axis front flip. Smooth turns. Nice. I liiiike. Everybody liiiikes. Cliff drop. Followed by straight line. Catching Edge. At 50 mph. Nose fucked. X-ray. Nose broken. Ouch. Next day: Teddy smiles again. We liiiike.
Check out Amplid Norway frontman “Ole Christian” float on the Chol’ in Norefjell 3 days ago … (Racing background visible :-) !)
The catch of the day.

Brandon, Steve and Tom - mounting up their new skis …
oho!
The Face of the engadinsnow freeridecomp. Damn! It could need some more snow. So let´s see what we can do.
Teddy B
This is what you look like when you overshoot a kicker and land on your goggles. That shit happened yesterday in Kitzbühl at a TTR Contest in the quali heat. Anyway a blue eye and a fucked up wrist doesnt mean you can not ride. So I made it into the finals and finished 3rd.
Benny Deeg: “In your face boooooyyy”
Normally it takes 1-2 weeks to recover from a pneumonia like i have to deal with. But since today, i feel and obviously look that much better than a couple days ago. Can’t explain why, i took the picture right after my brilliant breakfast. Must be the doctor’s banger effort they put in my problems.Anyway, hope to be back on skis soon. piies dennis

Look up the word “STOKED” in your dictionary and you will find a photo of Seth. “Woooord” son !
A.R.C. rider Seth Hill out of Boulder, CO made out pretty well after dropping a front board pretzel 270 out. Seth walked away with a Pro contract from DNA, Bern helmets and Love sac. He also received a $1500 signing bonus as well as some prizes that included Ogio travel bags, custom Bern helmets and a helmet cam.

Hey, there is an A.R.C. rider on place 17 ! Not bad for his age… :-)
The A.R.C. got a brand new van. Well, at least the stickers are brand new. Good luck with the ABS, Brandon!
BTW: Next investment will be a drop-in ramp on the roof …
Grandmaster Seth and Luke Skywalker, working their asses off at the Kirkwood WWSRA demo in California.
The Amplid Research Vehicle at Baker. We were cleaning the car about 8 hours before…
