YES. It’s a Movie 2 – the Alaska shredisode
Good Morning Alaska indeed!
The boys at Yes hit up Haines, Alaska and this is the gorgeous result. Were loving the spines, roosters, views of Alaska and their avi training (setting a better example than Travis Rice – jumping from Heli’s and what not). Not too sure about DCP’s dance moves at 0.56 but he’s got the summer to work on that.
Enjoy!
Whitelines Rail Jam ups the ante at The Snowboard Test
Ollie Dutton front boards his way to second place
As the original home of the Whitelines Rail Jam, The Snowboard Test in Kaunertal is always one of the best events of what’s now become a full-blown series. But while every year is entertaining, none of the previous Kaunertal jams came close to what went down last week. In terms of the level of riding, the crowd, and the overall atmosphere, this was definitely the best Whitelines Rail Jam yet.
We’d hooked up with DC to up the prize pot this year, and thanks to their army of willing helpers (cheers Stenti, Hannah, Fran, Edd and Frankie!) and the lads from FBBB (Ali, Mikee, Neil big up yourselves) we kicked things off only a little later than we’d planned. DC had set up their ‘easy-up’ tent at the bottom of the course, which gave riders the choice of either a big, blue donkey dick rail (as MC Scott Penman put it, “whichever donkey that came from has something to be proud of!”), a c-rail or a round red gas pipe.
Kaunertal had shaped things to perfection, and sent us up a snowcat loaded with a hefty-looking generator and a hench old soundsystem. Once we’d switched the militant jungle sounds coming from chief organiser Craig Scrivener’s iPod for some slightly more chilled tunes, appointed Jonny Russell and Sam Nelson as head judges, and cracked open the first of the free beers, we were ready to roll.

‘Taking Chances’ – Nicolas Müller talks to his manager Circe Wallace
This is one of those random videos that pop up in our inbox from time to time. The ‘Avant/Garde Diaries’ are, according to the press release, “a digital interview magazine by Mercedes Benz that launched in July 2011.” God knows why Mercedes are getting involved in snowboarding and making arty videos (I’m guessing their was a smooth-talking, wide-spectacled designer from Munich involved) but this is actually pretty interesting. If BA were once the world’s favourite airline (you know, before all the strikes) then Nicolas Müller is the world’s favourite snowboarder. He holds this title because he does exactly what he wants, on his own terms, and this free-spirited personality shines through in his riding. Circe Wallace may be less familiar to many of you. A 90′s pro (with her own boot on Vans) these days Circe is one of the most powerful behind-the-scenes figures in snowboarding, managing some of the world’s top pros and helping to put on events like the recent Red Bull Supernatural. Hearing her chat with Nico about the business side of the game is a bit of a rare treat, and it’s certainly eye-opening to hear him refer to his agent as his “guardian angel”. Quite how this arty-farty conversation over a game of table-tennis will help sell luxury cars is anyone’s guess though…
Win limited edition Oakley Goggles
You could soon be getting rad like this chick from SSX - only she's not wearing goggles.... whatevs, you'll look the dogs anyway.
We’ve teamed up with the makers of the new SSX game, EA Sports, to give away some limited edition Oakley goggles. The company (which helped Calum Paton break the World Record for the longest rail slide ever last year) has given us three pairs of these beauties to hand out to lucky readers. With all the tech you’d expect from Oakley, and a nice-looking collab colourway, these will be pretty frickin’ stylish way to keep your facemarbles safe on the slopes the next time you go shredding. Best of all, we’re asking the least demanding on questions for the win.
Which of the following game modes can you play in SSX?
And if you’re feeling simple and need a clue, have a look here…
