Broken femurs are nightmare injury for most skiers. How is the recovery going? I definitely dont recommend breaking your femur, to anybody reading this! Even harder than an ACL or anything else. Im glad to be at the end of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByBlTLblvzo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link How has it changed your plans? Im still planning on competing in all the contests that I had planned to before the injury. I also hope to be working on the film project that I was working on....

I wrangled the rowdyStrictlycrew to chat again about their next movie offer, welcome. Last time we chatted they were fresh off winning Am. Movie of the Year & Best Cinematography at iF3 and were getting prepped for their inaugural film premiere. _ Matt Kretzschmar: What was your plan of attack going into last winter? Did you guys change anything up? Andrew: Yo Matt, thanks for the praise I really appreciate it....

Each of their models comes with a standard layup and graphic, or the option to customize your own. Deviation built me a custom model of the Ballistic an all-mountain jib ski. _ Shape/Flex/Construction: Coming in at 99mm underfoot, the Deviation Ballistic falls happily into the All-Mountain Freestyle category. Upon receiving the skis, I immediately noticed how well constructed they looked. On Snow: The Ballistic is an awesome all-mountain ski. Overall they carve really well and are a great option for ripping groomers....

They are, as always with Erics skis, stunning to look at. However, I have always thought white skis, especially white powder skis are a stupid idea. A 16m average turn radius in the 184 length is the result. Luckily, these are super easy to ski. Which means they rip on groomers. The deep sidecut is so much fun for carving, even in the long length and even center-mounted. I had a blast taking them just about everywhere....

Premiere Photos: Laura Obermeyer.Premiere words: Matt Kretzschmar. 20 years, 20 groundbreaking movies. “I finally know when to cheer now” Hornbeck exclaims as Wallisch does some characteristically mental urban trickery. We are all excited to see what the next chapter holds for you. I’m on a self-imposed flight ban and the transatlantic train service is sadly lacking. At this point, some things need to be made clear. you could’t hey everyone and it’s the latter breed who will be happiest here....

Last winter was slightly different and more personal. NS caught up with ABM at Audi Nines last April to explain why. _ We’re in Austria in April, the season’s winding down. So how was your winter? Winter 2019 was incredible, I made it through the season without any injuries. When I came back skiing in New Zealand, it was amazing. I was super hyped and skiing better than I was before the rest....

J is no stranger to NS and what people these days like to ski. This season, I was looking for a new pair that can do it all. Looking at Js line, the new Vacation looked like a great fit. Shape, Flex, Construction The Vacation is an all-mountain directional twin-tip ski. The skis have a sintered base, 3/4 wrap 2mm edge, and full sidewalls. Examining the profile, youll notice a little bit of camber (3mm) and a pronounced early rise....

Pronounced forward, the company is proud to makeGear for Alpine Living, wherever you are. The result is gear that you could wear in the gnarliest weather, on & off the mountain. This emphasis on urban/alpine duality that sets FW apart from other brands. Most premium outerwear manufacturers prioritize function over fashion, or the inverse, sacrificing quality for style. For us it was important to bridge the gap between technicality and looks....

The halfpipe has seen many changes from it’s humble beginnings to the biggest snowsports events in the world. An explosive growth in the mid 90’s as well as an equally fast decline only a decade later. Many things have changed since pipes were the standard of terrain parks. Snowboard only signs disappeared helping the massive freeskiing movement. Pipe standards grew to 18', then eventually 22' thanks to the Zaugg. Pipes continued to grow in size, and shrink in number....

_ Hi Pep, youve been pretty busy recently! How long have you been planning to leaveK2? There was never a plan to leaveK2. K2came out for a marketing shoot in April. At that time I had some initial conversations with the team manager, about redoing my contract. He was looking forward to that and I was really looking to build on our relationship. He wanted some advice and opinion, so I said sure, why not?...

I skied the BDog Edgeless in best months of the season in February and March. Aesthetically, the BDog Edgeless has simple, great looking graphics. Shape/Flex/Construction The Armada BDog Edgeless is an asymmetrical ski with a hybrid rocker-camber-rocker profile. It shares a Poplar-Ash wood core with the regular BDOG but the lack of edges really softens the ski. On Snow: It’s actually hard to decide where to start with this ski....

Words by Matt Masson. Jyosei is the Japanese word for woman. JYOSEI is a short film about eight womens month-long trip to Japan last year. Maddie and Laura told NS about the trip, the movie and their thoughts on women in freeskiing. _ So who first thought of making JYOSEI? We had wanted to do projects in the past, but nothing ever really happened. She floated the idea of going to Japan together....
