Videos of the Week #14 2025/26 | Combine

The interplay of his talents in the mountains

02/06/2026
Hannes Hemper
First we go to France, where it gets steep and crazy - mountaineering and steep skiing. Next up is a trip to Japan and the world of carving tricks on a snowboard. There are also two behind-the-scenes videos of the X Games. Finally, we show a mogul video and take a new look at 2027: Gator Lock as a competitor to BOA.

Video 1: COMBINE | Jérôme Caroli

After 14 years of racing downhill mountain bikes, he is leaving the familiar circle and heading for the high Alps. Jérôme loves speed - that quickly becomes clear. So what does he do now? He combines his skills and rides his mountain bike over glaciers and skis on steep slopes. A crazy Frenchie - and there's more of that in the next three videos.

Rider: Jérôme Caroli

Video 2: À BORD DU VIDE - Ode to Steep Skiing | Aurélien Lardy

What is steep skiing? The combination of mountaineering and the fun of skiing. A love letter to these extreme situations and what it means to him to be so in tune with the mountains.

Rider: Aurélien Lardy

Video 3: Arc'teryx Presents: Fifty-Fifty

What two women. Over fifty and still at this level of ice climbing. The film follows the two of them as they continue to learn and become better climbing partners. Very inspiring and something different from the winter world.

Riders: Sarah Hueniken and Ines Papert

Video 4: The Traverse of the Aiguille du Belvédère // THE GRAND SKI TOUR Ep. 2 // Dave Searle

The traverse of the Aiguille du Belvédère in the Aiguilles Rouges near Chamonix is pure mountaineering. We accompany the two of them on numerous rope maneuvers and climbing passages - all on skis. There are also impressive views of the Mont Blanc massif and French high mountain mountaineering.

Riders: Dave Searle and Aaron Rolph

Video 5: Shackleton Presents // GAMAN: An Exploration into the Hokkaido Backcountry

A tribute to extreme situations - even in Japan. Despite minus 25 degrees, wind and tough conditions, they are on the move. A visually appealing short film that takes you away from the ego and back to the central question: Are you still really there?

Rider: -

Video 6: 25/26 팀노네임 x 양모필름 스노보드 카빙 트릭 🎬 Carvingtrick Movie

What did I just see? Japan's carving trick culture is just crazy. They practically dance down the slopes on their snowboards: Heelside carve, zip 720, then toeside carve. That's art.

Video 7: Scariest XGames EVER!!! by Magma

Magma Monday, the web series by athletes Alex Hall and Hunter Hess. This week, X Games regular Birk Irving joins them. He and Hunter ride the halfpipe, while Alex Hall competes in knuckle huck and slopestyle. One of them really cleans up - and the others don't stand a chance.

Riders: Alex Hall, Hunter Hess, Mac Forehand, Fin Melville Ives, Colby Stevenson, @steepsteep, Luca Harrington, Konnor Ralph, Tom Wallisch, Birk Irving, Tormod Frostad and Matt Labaugh.

Video 8: Trust The Process - Mark McMorris

Sparky, probably the most decorated snowboard slopestyle rider. At 34, he may not be the youngest anymore, but hard work pays off. He obviously hasn't been on the podium since the 2025 X Games, but he has learned new tricks. Just in time for the Olympics and the X Games 2026, he's back - gold in slopestyle at the X Games Aspen. What a competitor: the first two runs were crashes, in the third everything went perfectly. His mindset is simply incomparable.

Rider: Mark McMorris

Video 9: Pre-season Training in Ruka with Maïa Schwinghammer

I think this is my first mogul-specific video here. Join Maïa, a Canadian by birth, as she trains in Ruka and learn how moguls have changed in recent years.

Rider: Maïa Schwinghammer

Video 10: BOA Ski Boots vs. Gator Lok by Stomp It Tutorials

Most people will know Jens from various ski and trick tutorials. This time he is at a ski show for the 2026/27 season and shows us the new Gator Lock for ski boots. He explains the difference to the BOA system and shares his opinion on it.

Rider: Jens Nyström
