Like the baby brother, there is significant taper too, especially in the nose. The mounting point is way back at -7.75cm, but I went for a conservative, for me -4.5cm. Approximating flex numbers is always a gamble but Id go with 5/7.5/9/8/6.5 from tip to tail. Theres a full sidewall there but it tapers down to a microcap in the rockered section. I neednt have worried, these things are a lot of fun on groomers....
Thesetup looks pretty wild(that wheel feature?!) Birk Ruud has been looking unstoppable in Big Air so he has to be right up there too. But the spectacle provided by pipe under then lights of Aspen is still hard to beat. It’s hard to look past an Eileen Gu win in the women’s event.
Line Traveling Circuslegend, Andy, has been running the Tell a Friend Tour for over a decade now. Then ensure you also tag@planksclothingand@tellafriendtour. We’ll be accepting entries until the 13th of March 2023.
That boy is the definition of style though. Cody Laplante put one down too but again, it was fairly safe. Birk Ruud is a madman, two 16s and they came around so easily despite the dodgy speed. I’m honestly not really sure how to call most of the tricks live, but damn. He did miss the grab on a dub 12 mute which killed his score though. Run 2: The weather remained inconsistent for run two with speed still an issue....

Seriously, this might be the best competition out there right now. The crew scoping dreamland _ Once again, this was free-skiing worthy of the name. The vibes, from the start gate to the finish area party, were clear to see. three off the start cliff and charging the natural features all the way down. And Sven Rauber deserves a shoutout for a loose but lit 7 off it too. Maxime put down a smorgasbord of sevens, dub 10s, and even sent a triple backflip....
Let’s find out who came out on top when it really counted! Dillan Glennie washed out her second hit after a first hit 9 that went down with promise. A good-looking run, the judges agreed, earning 73.75 and taking an early lead. 81.75 was the score to beat thrown down for Eileen. This run looked to leave something in the tank, despite being huge and clean. Both-way 9s, a rightside 7 with an alleyoop 180 to cap it off....
We used to ski this run all the time. Its the first thing I ever skied at this hill. Big, mellow curving fall line, just steep enough to make fun turns in chopped up pow. Decide when to drop left, leaning into the fall line. Like I said, we used to ski this run all the time. It used to be my go-to review ski lap. When my partner and I first started dating, wed head up in the afternoon on pow days....
Cover photo: The kit equivalent of a wacky ski. The year is 2040. Climate change has done its worst to my local. Once bountiful sheets of pristine white now poke with scraggly branches and patches of browned grass. The lines are still long. My buddies blame the new Ikonik Amazon pass for the wait. These developments, seemingly inevitable in the early 2020s, are now fixtures of the skiing landscape. Yet, theres one change that crept in silently....

Both our judges and the voting audience will have a say in who takes the win....
It’s that simple. So that’s what I’m going to do here. So this is a sketchbook tour, as well as a journey through my growth as an artist. All I remember about this is that I drew it for some sort of contest evo held. I love that year of Bacon top sheet. you could see the origins of the obsession I still have with portraying actual gear in my art....
Finland has been a mega factory of insanely talented skiers for more than a decade now. Every winter seems to bring up new upcoming skiers that we had never heard of. They basically pushed the limit of going big in the street to a new extreme. As for Forre, I’ll leave it at that. The three-skier crew has already put out two short films called Speedbumb and Speedbumb 2. I talked to Aapo Myllarinen to hear what he had to say about his latest film....
