Newschool style tricktip

January 12th, 2012

Here's our boy Anto Brotto showing the latest way to go for jibbers.  You kind of forgot that you once received a nice safety leash in your bindings box, didn't you? Well now's the time to dust it off and incorporate it into your shred set-up in a very steezy and nifty way.

Douds Charlet snatching 2nd on FWT

January 9th, 2012

Looks like Douds has started 2012 off with a blast, snatching away a 2nd place at this year's Freeride World Tour first stop in Revelstoke, Canada. The resort is well-known for it's feather-light powder and engaging backcountry terrain, a perfect environment for our Chamonix-based French freerider. Once again his experience of big mountain riding has made the difference, leaving only Ralph Backstrom in front of him with a mere one point difference after their respective descents of the Mackenzie face. This is a perfect start of the FWT tour, having its next stops in Chamonix, Courmayeur, Roldal, Fieberbrunn and finally Verbier.

Rock On Snow after hours

January 6th, 2012

Working for a snowboard company has its perks. Here's some quick footy of some fun rides we took during and after the Rock On Snowboard Tour test event a few weeks ago in Serre Chevalier. Fresh snow and nice weather blessed our season opener in the mountains and were very grateful for that. If you want to come and take a look at our boards, next stop will be La Clusaz for the Snow Avant Première (15-17 january). Hopefully some more video opportunities on the menu there. See you in the snow!

Snowsurf sur les snowparks de Vars! from LDP on Vimeo.

Anto Brotto and a bunch of friends decided to film a podcast about the new snowpark in Vars for Snowsurf. It looks like a dream come true for jibbers if you ask us! The recent big dump of snow has allowed for serious feature building. Check out LDP's edit and enjoy that real wacky italian soundtrack!

Antwerp Ski and Snowboard Railbattle awesomeness

December 5th, 2011

The long awaited Antwerp Ski and Snowboard Railbattle finally took place in the crowded industrial halls of Antwerp's Park Spoor Noord. The venue used to be some kind of train repair shelter or at least something of that kind. For this occasion Threesixty Events amazed hundreds of spectators with a huge metal structure, real lowland fridge snow and 4 different rail features to hit in the most creative ways. And man, were Yannick's crew's efforts rewarded! We saw a few of the craziest railcombo's ever. Some stuff would even make JP Walker and Jeremy Jones cry for their mommies.

Anyways, with the fair share of Dutchies showing up, the contest truly became a battle of the lowlands. As co-sponsors we gathered a part of our own troops, sending young Jens Rummens and French rail-surgeon Anto Brotto to the top of the scaffolding. They fought for what they were worth but this time they were overpowered by some gnarly foreign fridge kids.
