Awesome Winter Sports

Epic Snowboarding POV

Epic Snowboarding POV

Most of the snowboarding videos we’ve seen have been edited to show the best action. Olympic and X Games snowboarding medalist Sage Kotsenburg shared nine minutes of unedited first-person GoPro footage from his rides through the fresh powder at Eagle Pass, BC. If you’ve never taken a backcountry route, it’s the closest you’ll get to being there.

Riding a Bike Down a Ski Slope

Riding a Bike Down a Ski Slope

Athlete Fabio Wibmer headed to the slopes of Kitzbühel, Austria, to take in some winter sports. But his high-speed ride down the challenging course known as The Streif was on two wheels instead of skis. Beyond his brass balls and cycling skills, his only advantage was the studded tires on his bike and a SICK! outfit from Nineyard.

RECCO created a technology that helps rescuers find you in the event of an emergency in mountainous terrain. It uses radar waves to help detect your location, even in an avalanche. This small, inexpensive stick attaches to your pack to reflect radar waves and improve your chances of being found by a RECCO-equipped search team.

Skiing Through School

Skiing Through School

We learned the hard way that riding a skateboard through school was a no-no. So we can only imagine the detention we would have gotten if we rode skis through the hallways like freestyle skier Matěj Švancer did after graduation. Though, we’re guessing Red Bull got permission to lay snow down in the hallways.

It’s getting blustery out there, so cozy up and look cool with Burton’s wicking and reversible fleece shirt. It’s got a fresh style, with a quilted ripstop upper body and sleeves and snaps to help you ventilate. Will we really be freeriding soon?

Red Bull Freeze 2014

Red Bull Freeze 2014

Passing by a cold, empty skate park can be so sad. It’s nice to see that Red Bull once again got some midwinter use out of one by blanketing it in ice and giving ice cross racers a chance to compete in a skill and style competition.
