Look kind of fun those weird binding-less powder boards.

Got by far the best snow today I have ridden for years. Over waist deep in many places and so light. So many lines to claim too and so little time! Was firing on all cylinders. Mad adrenaline.

I like that the nug has a bright base.

2 weeks exactly now since I quit roll-ups. Again. For about the 5th time. Still feeling well aggro. Grrraaaa! Exercise is good. Speed is good.

Elvin took this. Not much going on but I like it. Tap before takeoff.

Zacher

A group of friends mountain biking, dirt jumping, surfing, skating, skiing and snowboarding whilst on a trip to chile, all superbly shot with an amazing Red Camera, some other high end film equipment and nicely edited together and published by guilhemmachenaud.com.

Hat tip Yann.

I like the way Travis thinks. I hate the red bull media player. Auto start?? FFS. I dont want to have to edit the code when I post (although I had to for this). Flash? Still? Apple killed flash. Get with it. Embed code which doesn’t allow wordpress rescaling?? Come on now, I dont want to have to do a maths equation to work out the correct size ratio via the code. Sort it out red bull, your videos are amazing, just upload on youtube or vimeo or make a decent media player which doesn’t take people 30 minutes to post.

Leave at 12pm, 8 minutes to the bottom of the lift from Kiska, which was slower than the 6 minutes it takes without traffic. 4 runs, a few fairly rubbish bad light photos with Zacher who was riding my old board and then back to work.

Siiiiiick. The video thumbnail doesn’t really do it justice. Watched it 3 times. YES. Snowboard.

No chance of any biking here at the moment, but the snow is starting to get pretty good.

These look pretty amazing. Seem to handle really well too.

VIA MOTO

Had a pretty good ride yesterday up in Zauchensee. Was only jibbing around the mountain rather than in a park, but I landed a load of tricks for the first time this season which felt great. Backside Indy 180′s off lips just never get old, no matter how old I get. Even nailed a clean switch 540 stalefish, albeit not exactly massive. Stoked anyway. Claim it!

FROM TWSnow: In reflection of 2011 we dug through 52 weeks worth of wallpaper to be sure you had the year’s sickest ones to use for your computer’s screen. More here.

So many quality photos in this video. Inspiring

Was talking yesterday to someone about the limits in action sports, but every video that comes out just seems to be pushing it even more. I broke my back (fractured vertebra) hitting a big hip too fast years ago on my board so I know how dangerous it can be. Was just slightly too far on my heel edge on take off and couldn’t pull it back around. Amazing seeing how big this dude is sending it.

Mega crash on run three, guess he surprised himself how much air he got. Backflips the same drop cleanly on run 5. Respect.
