TimeLine Films‘ second movie White Noise will be released soon and until then here’s a little teaser of some of the Xavier de La Rue big mountain badassness that is on its way.
This year, not only it will show the best shots from the season but also it will give an intimate and artsy angle to why Xavier is riding like he does. His way of approaching the mountain has gotten himself noticed these past season by the snowboard scene and also mainstream media.
Mammoth Mountain opened at 8:30 AM yesterday with a bit of snow, freezing temps, lots of dirt and high wind. But none of that slowed the hard core. No. They were out and charging. Yobeat was there to document.
When you get back out on snow this season, remember: Snowboarding is not as easy as the pros make it look (most of the times). Thanks to Arthur Longo, Gigi Rüf and the entire Pirate Movie Production crew for the reminder.
Louis-Felix Paradis goes snowboarding and we all get to watch.
This video features footage that earned him the 2012 X Games Real Snow gold medal, some of his time spent on Team Vacation, and some footage that until now, no one has seen. Louif is not a loud, in-your-face type of guy; he takes technical riding to the streets with modesty, unparalleled grace, and deafening style. Thousands have emulated him, but there can be only one. This is Louif.
Tony Hawk’s Ride Channel weighs in with all the important questions from the United States leading skaters including: Tony Hawk, Chris Cole, Shane O’Neill, Alex Midler, Jake Donnelly, Jorge Angel, Steve Caballero, Gary Rogers, PLG, Giovanni Reda, Justin Brock, Theotis Beasley, and Mike Anderson. Good thing we already voted.
Yep. Apparently, Alana Smith became the second girl ever to do a McTwist. We’re not really into glorifying trick progression, but sure a 12-year-old girl landing a trick that guys have been doing for 28 years is good right? It happened at Saturday, November 3, 2012 at the “exposed” women’s skate contest at the YMCA in San Diego. Congrats, Alana. You’re good.
