This morning at Cerro Catedral. It’s not about the style of that dude – it’s the light and the mist ! Shot by Sebastian’s cell-phone.

ARC artist Michael Hanauer moved from Sydney to Vancouver straight into his new 4-wheel* GMC homeoffice (*4 wheels, not 4-wheel-drive):

“I’ll be driving out to Vancouver Island tomorrow, surfing and working from there on the 2012 boards. (more…)

One snowstorm hits the next one. And in between ? Bluebird. Here comes spanish ambush ripper Christian Boiria from the iberian peninsula, hibernating in Las Lenas, Argentina.

“PRO” = when you get bucks for tricks. Harry did. Whether as a judge or a rider. 5 euros per sticked trick is pretty good, thinking how many tricks one sticks over one season.

Cerro Martin / Las Lenas (ARG): First decent on a snowboard by Amplid founder Peter Bauer in 1988. A couple of years later: No secret spot anymore, but still one of the most beautiful powpow faces on our white globe. Yannick Pebrel a.k.a. Prebel, carving some early morning turns, burning calories and earning a huge chunk of beef. Right on !

Heise goes Canada. In fact he is a hoser himself. Check out the full camp coverage on the euro riders here …

Well, Yannick has actually been not THAT lazy, thinking that it’s a 1 hour hike in almost 12.000 ft. altitude.

Instead of studying spanish, ARC man Andal Zissler decided to teach indy. This is the backyard of “China Town” – dead end valley of Las Lenas. There is always stuff to shred …

What happens when euroshredhead Andal Zissler meets Frenchman Yannik Pebrel ? What if they get to stay in one flat with BBQ-man Miguel Duhalde ? You don’t wanna know … Here is the route they did:

And here comes a little note from “Y.”:

Hey guys,  finally wind stoped and we’ve been able to shred the mountains of Las Leñas …  just the time to see the fantastic world cup final and as a miracle, the wind stopped ! Some more news and photos soon, more snow is coming !

Excuse my french, regards from Argentina, Yannick

Guest coach McRae Williams was on hand all week to stoke out campers, help them dial in new tricks, and get a little summer shredding in as well…. More Info you will find at our friend’s blog at ORAGE !

Just in case you’ll be hanging out at Whistler (Camp of Champs) in June or Hood (Windell’s) in July, you might have the chance to run into Heise. Any question on “How to turn your moms’s garden into the world’s best railpark” ? Do not hesitate to ask him …

… shooting Benny Deeg during a spring backcountry session, privat kicker, secret place, somewhere in Austria.

One on the wall, one in the air. Even same haircut. Wondering whether it smells like Kryptonite as well when Yannick sticks that air. Yannick “Rebel” Pebrel a.k.a “the reincarnation of obstacles”, somewhere in France.

ARC artist Michael Hanauer jumped onto an airplane from Australia to Bali to put his feet into the warmest water surfable !

The complete “how-to” camp with Pako: from chatting up chicks to all kinds of water pretzels. Info on the course program at www.pakobenguerel.com !

… showing some last snow action before he’ll turn his head for bikinis on the beach instead of spins on the mountain.

Another Pako Benguerel show down: La primera película nacional de los mejores riders de Freestyle de la península. We Are Family une al snowboard, freeski, mountain bike, bmx y fmx, bajo la misma esencia, el Freestyle. Producida por Boston Enjoy Productions.

Well, Stefan Falkeis did last week. Shred buddy Pat Tilg released the tube, phodawg Christian Waldegger froze it. Nice !!! BTW: This photo made it to PLEASURE-Mag’s centerfold this month. Check it out …
