Video 1: ENDORPHIN | a ski film by Manon Loschi and Hunter Paull
The creative concept behind this film is the graphic representation of the endorphin release in skiers in various situations on the mountain. And Manon rocks: she won the first Natural Selection and is now following it up with this film. She has definitely upped her trick game, especially in terms of style. Her Cork 3 Safety is so cool, plus Cork 7 Blunt, big cliffs and fluid lines - from Japan to La Clusaz. The movie of the year for me! Hats off!
Rider: Manon Loschi.
Video 2: TKO by Magma and Owen Dahlberg
Alex and Hunter - Magma - are back with their best movie yet. Featuring a boxing intro by Tom Wallisch, mouth watering tricks and filmed by Osap! Definitely on the backcountry kicker and street side of things, even if there are no lines - still a must-watch. I was pleasantly surprised by Nalu's guest appearance: so stylish on skis! And then there's even a street part from OG Tom Wallisch!
Riders: Alex Hall, Hunter Hess, Tom Wallisch, Max Moffat, and Nalu Nussbaum.
Video 3: ÉTRANGE MÉLANGE by GNU Snowboards
A snowboard movie filmed on 16mm that wisely combines older snowboarders with fresh youngsters. Cannon's backcountry part is really strong - his riding style seems so casual and weightless! Endless vibes and for me one of the best snowboard videos of the season!
Riders: Cannon Cummins, Jadyn Chomlack, Austen Sweetin, Matteo Soltane, Mitchell Davern, Markus Rustad, Temple Cummins, Eric Jackson, Brayden Charette, Alex Kirkland and Antonio Astillero.
Video 4: Peak Performance | Shock of Dawn | Starring Yu Sasaki
Yu pulls lines in the backcountry, accompanied by poems and heavy tricks. He lives in Revelstoke and often makes guest appearances in Sammy Carlson videos. This year, he shows off some natural-hit double backflips, big threes over gaps and impressive pillow dances.
Rider: Yu Sasaki.
