Amplid pumped millions of dollars into French Ambush rider Yannick Prebel’s latest film project POWrno from FRESH CREAM MOVIES. Forget the RED Epic or even the Canon 5D mkII, POWrno was shot exclusively on GoPro to give it an edgy “Blair Witch Project” POV kinda feel. Although we can’t quite work out where the millions have been spent, there’s some nice powder shots, a close-up of Yannicks earphones and some conclusive evidence that Yannick needs to work on his stickering skills. “Sometimes weather can be very bad, somtimes very good. It just depends on your point of view”. POWrno, not coming  to a cinema near you, ever.

Yesterday we’ve been riding a “Seventies Style” tunnel with a tough oververt combined with a tiny transition. Here a shot of me doing a switch heel flippppp, cool session, but damn hard for the body! Enjoy, Yannick.

… proudly filmed in the alpes. By frenchman Yannick Pebrel. Making you dizzy.

… to the winter season on the southern hemisphere, “saludando” with a classic method air, oldschoolish tweaked by Yannick above Las Lenas.

The season here in Argentina is coming to an end. My computer got stolen the other day, shit. But I’ll get over it. Here is one last shot, slaughtering the virgin powfields of “Entre Rios” in Las Lenas. Need to go now, parilla at Miguel’s.

See you soon,

Yannick.

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 !

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

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

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.
