You may think this was a result of weeks of planning and preparation but no… I’d picked up my visa just hours before takeoff and figured out precisely nothing about the trip. Those of us who arrived early were free to roam for a couple of days in Beijing. That meant trips to fake clothing markets, historic sights oh and the clubs, which were nuts. Somehow through all this, Karen, our incredible host, managed to keep us on track....

The ledge itself wasnt too intimidating but getting to the edge of it made me nervous. This feeling can also occur when you take ecstasy and the drug slowly kicks in. However, you also feel empowered by this euphoric stimulant and are eventually filled with overwhelming positivity. Dont let risky decisions become the norm. Slow your roll and satisfy the soul! The ladder attached to this building was the critical attribute that made my vision more of a possibility....

A Swedish man in a tracksuit won and this made some people extraordinarily angry. In more mainstream news, Tom Brady french fried when he should have pizza’d. On the opposite end of the fame spectrum, Daniel Hanka did a very horizontal 180. Can we see it with no slomo yo? But the one that really made me sit up and take notice was this from Scott Nelson. http://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/859302/Scott-skis-really-fast From epic speed to an edit shot with almost none....

https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/853809/HOW-TO-BUTTER-ON-SKIS---TAIL-BUTTER In this video we break down how to tail butter on skis in detail. The carve should then go into a skidded turn. As you have skidded about 90 lean back quite some. The softer flex your skis have the easier it will be. If you could t find a spot like this one you could settle for just a flat easy slope. Find a nice tiny roller and increase the speed a bit....

X Games Real Ski is like christmas come early(/late/again) for skiers everywhere. Six of the craziest street edits of all time drop at once for our viewing pleasure. with pretty much every trick. He has it all, traditional comp wins, backcountry jump game and of course, insane street skills. EHeath: For me, 1 and 2 in this contest were basically interchangeable. Henrik created an amazing video that also had tricks we had never seen before....

I’ve seen better judging too but I guess that’s just like, my opinion man. Andri Ragettli breezed through with a safety run as a result. BMile also went down as the first rider in his head to head gifting his heat to Dennis Ranalter. Dope lines from him and a relatively clear win. Cody LePlante took the closest win of the round, edging out Johan Rohrmoser with a jibby run....

The ideas put in motion at Dew Tour seem to be catching on. It didn’t translate so well in France today. That said, as an exhibition, I can see how it worked. 4 runs, two different rotations from the four possibilities required for a combined score. On the flipside you get to see higher risk and creativity tricks in general. He was throwing some very familiar blunt 9s too, watch out world, he’s coming....

When you think of Africa many things come to mind. Skiing is probably among the least likely things to be associated with the continent. Lesotho is a mountain kingdom in southern Africa, surrounded on all sides by South Africa. The hectic feelings of anxiety, packing, and the uncertainty starts to grow. I drove back from Canada and packed all my stuff after a quick nap. Half conscious, i started making my way from upstate New York down to Baltimore....

The President was vocal in his dislike of the opposition skiing as he coined it. His sentiments were echoed by the President of the IOC as well. “We are letting skiing be overrun by outsiders,” he continued. If we, as skiers hold onto our values, we will fight against this FAKE SKIING. What’s next, anunderbonkat the Olympics?!" The President was last seen purchasing a J Skis Make Skiing Great Again hat....

Austin Torvinen Not the biggest name, but if you knew it, you knew this kid was nasty.
