Because Man Cannot Live by Skiing Alone

Posted on March 15, 2011 by | 2 Comments

Although he might conceivably survive, and quite possibly flourish, on a proper balance of skiing, surfing and mountain biking.

Thanks to ever-alert reader Nick Chapple for the heads up on the mountain bike vid.

Tele Teaser Tuesday x 4 – Deeper, The Way I See It, Reel Rock 2010, Action Heroes

Posted on October 15, 2010 by | Leave a comment

OK, I know it’s not Tuesday and there ain’t no telemark teasers in here either. Sorry to disappoint. But Jeremy Jones is coming to visit and I thought the neighborly thing to do might be to big up his video premier this Sunday night at Le Cinema Vox at 21:30. From what I’ve heard tix are selling out fast so best purchase in advance if you’re interested in getting a seat. 2 out of the 10 skin ticket price goes to Protect Our Winters, Jeremy’s non-profit, global warming awareness organization.

And for those not into snowboarding here’s one that I initially thought I was going to skip this year. I mean seriously, any vid that makes you wait until 1:45 says one thing to me: that crew got blanked last season. But then it started  getting loads of awards at things like the IF3 fest so I figured I better throw it out there.

And for those that wonder what all the snow-related fuss is about – I mean after all, autumn means cold rock and sticky rubber, right? – here’s a promo forwarded by alert reader Mark Gray for the Reel Rock film tour that has probably already blown past your town. Cool vid, nonetheless.

And since I’ve got every other sport on this page I might as well throw in some mountain biking. But this ain’t your everyday mountain biking that’s for sure. Mad, mad, mad, mad, mad.

Servoz DH

Posted on May 17, 2010 by | 1 Comment

Local shredder Scott Barnett made a sweet vid of he and his bros, Vincent Darlix and Loic Claret, ripping around their home turf of Servoz just a few weeks ago.

Scott is 18, studying photography, training to be a moniteur de ski and hopes to do more film-making. If this vid is any indication of things to come we hope he does too. Keep charging, Scott.

Mo’ Danny McCaskill in Chamonix

Posted on May 14, 2010 by | 2 Comments

Whatever.

With all the foul weather over the past few weeks about the only thing to do in Chamonix is: 1) go hang out at the daily CHXHC meeting on the bridge at the Midi or, 2) drag your bike out of the basement, dust ‘er off and start wenching. Whoops, my bad. I meant wrenching, not wenching, but depending on the state of your current ride (or lack thereof) feel free to choose whichever works best for you.

And if you need a bit of motivation for the wrenching (seeing as how the last of the available Swedish girls left town last week) then just take a moment to have your hair blown back by Thierry Donard’s video of Danny MadCatSkills for the Perfect Moment film Instant. Danny is like the Rodney Mullen of mountain biking and I never thought I’d ever say that about anyone. Ever.

Special thanks to the Insted ladies for the heads up on this one. Yes, they’re Swedish. No, they’re not available.
