It's a well-known fact that there is currently nothing to much less snow in the Alps. And cat pictures aren't the last word in wisdom either. Which brings us straight to the topic of freerider gossip. If you like reading Skiing, Bunte, Gala, Bild or Spiegel Online, you've come to the right place.

If Cody and Travis are already battling it out like this, isn't it time to find other heroes? How about these guys from Playmobil? Seem to be hard on the gas
