Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Hi everyone,

Since a bit less than a week, I landed in Santiago, Chile. Despite the spring conditions, the snow layer is here, and mountains of Chile are still great to go shred =) ! During the last days, the resort of El Colorado, Chile, hosted the first stop of the Freeskiing World Tour.

I decided to take part to this comp, and I have to say everything’s happened well ! I finished second, I was crown “SickBird” (best line of the comp). (more…)

“SO GNAR” MIX TAPE STRAIGHT FROM L.A.

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

SO GNAR got the next Mixtape ready for you to Download!  This one is coming Live from Los Angeles CA.  Our boy Chris Cuts has been holding it down there for quite some time.  This mix is a nice blend of Funk, Soul and some new jams.  Gotta love this mix, he starts with one of my all time favs, Summer Madness!  The journey begins there, the mix travels through a little Bill Withers and Bar-Kays…and ends up with a funky Mark Ronson remix of Miike Snow’s anthem “animal.”  34 tracks are mixed on this nice little Gem that conveniently wraps up in 72 minutes.  That way you can burn it to disc, pop in your car and allow it to be the soundtrack to you summer.

ROMANTIC HARRY

Friday, July 16th, 2010

ARC rider Harry Juen must have either smoked some bad ass herb, or he is deeply in love … however this shot has been voted “MOST ROMANTIC PHOTO” within this blog. It might have also been a depression due to the bad surf in the background.

AMPLID hosting the 2010 West Coast Session

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

After four years it’s starting to feel natural: when spring rolls around, the days grow longer and the snow starts to melt, a group of skiers from diverse locales make something like a pilgrimage to the slopes of Mt. Hood, Oregon for the West Coast Session.

Timberline builds an amazing terrain park to ride, Windell’s Camp provides breakfast, accommodations and access to their awesome campus, and Amplid makes all the necessary arrangements. A place to stay, a place to ride, and good friends to enjoy it all with: that’s WCS in a nutshell. And eventually we all wake up to alarms buzzing and realize that it’s May 5, it’s dumping snow, and for the fourth time around, the West Coast Session is in the works. It seems hard to believe that it’s May. Four feet of snow have fallen in the last week and the park crew at Timberline has had a hard time digging out the park.

This is supposed to be a sunny spring park shoot – but when it’s snowing in May, who’s complaining? Besides, it just wouldn’t be the West Coast Session without a bit of fresh snow around to “ruin” all the fun. READ MORE @ NEWSCHOOLERS.com …

ORAGE MASTERS: CHEER UP FOR THE ARC

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

The legendary Orage Masters will go down in Whistyler on April 17th.

Skiing’s one and only, infamous Anti-Comp is back with its break all rules attitude, costume-clad competitors, on hill shenanigans and 6 year history of being the “funnest” comp on the planet. We’re stoked that you’ll be joining us for the Orage Masters 7 at the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival on April 17, 2010.

The Orage Masters is a simple round robin slopestyle where teams compete head to head in 15 minutes jam sessions. The winning team from each heat advances to the next round. 8 Teams enter, 4 move to the second round, 2 teams compete in the finals and 1 ultimately takes home the Masters Crown and coveted White Dinner Jackets. New to the format this year will be the Half Time Hoe Down and Superlative Awards.-After the quarterfinal round of 8, the 4 eliminated teams will be asked to send one team member to compete in a 4 way winner take all challenge with cold hard cash on the line.

-Two additional awards will be given during the event, one based on Best Choreography for on course performance and another for Best Team Theme & Event Spirit. The two teams competing in the finals, and the winner of the Half Time Hoe Down will not take part in the Superlative Votes. The Voting will take place just before the Final Round

The ARC will be represented by: Jessica Warll (CAN – new chick on the block), Steve Stepp (USA), McRae Williams (USA) and Pako Benguerell (SPAIN). More info right HERE.

A good day with nice people!!!

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

Last week THE  pr agency “Häberlein&Mauerer” invited me to a skiing day in Hochfügen. We couldn’t ask for a better weather. Conditions still were good concerning the fact that we saw people sunbathing almost naked on the terrace. All in all a great day ending with the statement of Stefan Mauerer about the new Rockwell: “What a  start in the day in HOCHFÜGEN. Testing the new Rockwell: It´s lightweight, It´s fast, It´s easy to handle and still it keeps the trace. Thanxx”
