And this month’s A.R.C. Ambassy Award goes to “Green Room Store” in Mayrhofen for putting up such an awesome tent, turning their shop practically into an A.R.C. flagship store.

What brings an eclectic group of young adults to the Oregon wilderness for the summer? Is it a love for hiking, hermitism, or crystal meth? Hardly.

Hi there!

Yes, it’s snowing. Still. Which means even more workload for the Schneestern shape team. At least they got easy access to their parks now: The entire crew is on Amplid shreds, for a better living, for a better kicker testing.

Schneestern has been building kickers and rails for the Air & Style, the Red Bull Stairway To Heaven, Kaunertal Opening and many more events in Europe.

Wikipedia: “The phrase research and development (also R and D or, more often, R&D), according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, refers to “creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of (hu)man, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.”

The A.R.C.: “Getting that shred onto the next level!”

Next generation ARC member Phil is preparing for his first ride, to take his daddy and friends up to the mountains.

Normally we sleep in the car to get the first tracks. Last night we slept in our tradeshow booth. The ISPO will mean: 4 tough days without riding… :-)

Check out the italian ambush army scoring at the Railway to Heaven, an all-self-judged video- and photocontest.

Big in Japan …?

A.R.C. inhouse photo editor Peter Ortmann, ambush riders Wasti Huber and the one and only Heise a.k.a. “SHRED MY FARM HEISE” having a peaceful supper at the Amplid headquarter “cantina”. We all wish you a merry x-mas, lots of snow, obstacles to shred, tricks to nail and spins to stick.

Peace, your A.R.C. !!!

Here some non-action-shots of Teddy visiting a Dry-slope with Maxi Kaiser, Head of “Schneestern”, in Edinburgh (Scotland) last week. The resort will get a delivery of some sick rails and boxes made in Bavaria. (check www.schneestern.info)

Teddy´s quote:” That´s the first time I´m stoked not to ski, cause my ankle isn´t a 100% jet. This Dry-slope-thing scares the hell out of me. Big up to all shrednecks in GB!”

Thanks again Leo for an awesome time up in the Klondike.
