For Jesper, this is real life. A looped rail feature with the top cut out. In just 42 attempts Jesper managed to put down this improbable and scary stunt. Watch the full edit from this insane build below! _ 1091349 The 3m gap Jesper flew through before landing another NDB rail trick! The 29-year-old from Ostersund has Olympic & X Games medals to his name. Speaking on the course Jesper said:...
He was also shooting movies at the time. So, I was shooting segments with my crew or I was competing. We had to do a different freeski event. We just need someone to pay for it. It has to be a week. Imagine if it was just a two day event. But the riders came (and youre reading this) for some skiing. Nines is famous for its crazy features and the riders are fully involved in the courses conception....
The 8th annual Down Rails & Doublekinks at Sugarbush Parks was met with wonderful weather and many smiling faces. It’s been 6 years since I commandeered the event with my loud voice and cardboard boxes. Each time it gets better and better. With over 150 participants, this year was definitely the largest turn out.
This contest is a little more freestyle, but it just seems like such a cool setup. The name says it all, Infinite Lines! You won Kings & Queens of Corbets a couple of times? Yeah, two wins there and one 2nd place. For the last seven years thats basically been the only event that works for me. Looking at snowboarding, with Natural Selection, thats where I really hope that ski contests will go....
When I was growing up, Salomon was everywhere in freeskiing. Turns out we can, and they’ve rocked up with a whole different philosophy. I rode the Depart 1.0 for about 20 days, most of which were spent in the Blackcomb park. It’s kind of like how the Edollo is super buttery but still survives trips to the Gucci Plateau. because the Depart 1.0 is not like anything I’ve skied before....
Introduction The Atomic Backland XTD 120 is new for the 2024 season. Let’s say you do a reasonable tour (1500m+ vertical). You want something that will let you tour up comfortably, yet also exit without you getting destroyed. The Backland XTD 120 may therefore be the boot for you. Reviewed here is the highest end carbon-infused polyamide Backland XTD model with the stiffest 120 flex. It is also the model with gripwalk to allow for use on GW-compatibleMNC (multi-norm compatibility) designated bindings....

HOW THE CHANGES IN SKI MANUFACTURING HAVE CHANGED THE FREESKI MOVEMENT. WRITTEN BY PARADISE AMBASSADOR JEREMY JACQUES - Origonally posted onparadiseskis.com My name is Jeremy. I am a freeride coach forULLR Big MountainatLake Louise. I have been skiing for many, many years now. I have seen the changes in the engineering of skis. For example: I used to race on 210cm GS (straight) skis. Now I am on a pair of 191cmVICE 113 big-mountain skiswith a 113mm underfoot....
Before skiing these, I wasnt expecting them to be a whole lot different. Luckily my first day on these at COP proved my assumptions to be completely wrong. Looking at the skis, my first impression of their quality was good. The topsheet is textured, the sidewalls are very thick and vertical, and the edges are visibly fat. On an arbitrary stiffness rating, Id give them about a 4.5. I think that this is due to their thick vertical sidewall underfoot in combination with their wider profile....
Dare I say I think this is the longest rail in Canada right now and maybe anywhere? Let me know if there is a longer rail in a park right now, especially all one piece. Check out the setup below, more photos and build video on the@guohski instagram. Thanks to Craig, Ethan, Decker, Rae and Mark for helping with the build. The event went down Sunday March 17th and we were lucky with perfect weather....
LIFE IN THE FREERIDE JUNIOR WORLD TOUR WRITTEN BY SAM BUGGY Origonally posted onparadiseskis.com My name is Sam. Im a 17 year old athlete on theFreeride Junior World Tour. We dont usually know where exactly the competition is until this meeting. We need to be well-rested for the demanding day ahead of us. A typical morning starts at 6:00 AM or earlier. At about 6:00 AM on Saturday, we wake up, eat breakfast, and drive to the mountain....
Clickbait title aside, this is not that trip. This is not that article. As a euro who rarely flies, the US IS fairly far-flung to me. Planning level 0, exoticness level -100. And of course, last season it was pretty easy to find. I was slightly injured all trip (as always) so mostly I took photos and complained. Our trip started at DIA, picking up a truck and hitting the road....
Jake Johnsons textbook blunt grab The 13th edition of Master Shredder radiated with immaculate vibes. While the features may have been smaller compared to previous years, the level of tricks certainly were not. Just in past years, the competition unfolded in three heated rounds. Athletes from all over came to Master Shredder. Regardless of the difficulty or skill level, every rider was pushing their limits and throwing down in style....
