GLACIER DRIP - Summer Session on Laax Glacier

In Mid August, thanks to Snowpark Laax and Doodah Store, some Vans and Nitro riders, Dominik Wagner, Yung Doli, Jan Scherrer, Markus Keller, Davide Boggio, Maxi Preissinger, and Marc Schumy headed up to the top of Laax to have one day of fun on the snow.

Officially the glacier was closed but the Snowpark Laax guys did a great job and shaped a couple of fun features for them.

After a long and dirty ride they got to glacier where they took the snowcat and drove for another 30 min on the glacier until they reached the top. It was there where the session went down! Enjoy!

Method & Monster Energy present: MTN x DNA With Will Smith

Pivoting from the steep and deep of British Columbia backcountry to the lesser-known snowboard mecca of the English countryside, Episode 4 of our MTN x DNA series takes a wander with the Fresh Prince of Leeds, Mr. Will Smith. One of the most prominent English riders on the international scene today, Will has made a name for himself both with his technical street video segments and his work with paint and pen.

In this latest episode Will takes us to the dryslope where he first got his start, to the indoor where he cut his teeth and back to his home studio where he has recently created for Vans First Layer projects and much more. Dig in!

Look out for more MTN x DNA episodes dropping this Fall.

Method & Monster Energy present: MTN x DNA With Charles Reid

Welcome back to MTN x DNA, a new series produced by Method and Monster Energy to take a look into the snow pedigree of the Monster Snow team and how they got to where they are today.

We’ve got another Canadian featured in this sophomore episode, the versatile Mont-Tremblant, Quebec native Charles Reid. Reid cut his teeth, and gained quite a considerable following, as a content ripper, landing a number of high profile podiums in the mid-aughts and early 2010s, like a 3rd place finish in slopestyle at the 2008 Burton US Open, a 1st place finish at the 2008 Oakley Stylewars Slopestyle, a 3rd place finish in Dew Tour slopestyle in 2011 and many more.

More recently, Reid garnered attention for his quarterpipe riding chops and the style he brings to natural terrain, and it is perhaps this prowess for which he is best known. His transition toward more big-mountain focused riding has been masterful and has continued to shape his general love for the outdoors. We explore his snowboarding roots, that passion for nature, owning and flying a plane and much more in this latest MTN x DNA.

We will be dropping a new episode every Monday of May. Stay tuned!

'Off Season' With Nicolas Huber

Nicolas And Mojo planned to join the Spring Battle contest over at Absolut Park but after it got cancelled they decided to change their plans to go up to Corvatch and film there some Park jumps. This plan also then got interrupted by the government because
they decided to shut down all resorts in Switzerland the following day. They had already been commissioned for a video so they really needed to get something filmed as they could really do with the cash too.

This video shows what they managed to capture between resorts closing and the full lockdown being put in place. They had issues with SD cards and batteries whilst also having to hike up to parks and shape it all themselves. With hiking every run and low storage, every hit counted and Nicolas was on fire stomping everything first time, probably the most consistent he’d ever been, haha. So in the end the boys pulled it off and got a sick edit out it in the end, just in time to head into lockdown for some editing!

Stay Basket Presents Byen Er Vår

Is there a better day to watch Simon Houlind, the Jah'est of them all, and his homies full bake the streets in their latest video 'Byen Er Vär'? Perfect to watch with a fat chiller this one. Simon explains, "When we first thought of making this movie I was sitting together with Tobias, Andreas and Rasmus. We hadn't been riding that much together in a long time and we missed filming and shredding for a whole winter again.
So we talked about making a street movie that would be as cheep as possible, since most guys didn't have any budget for the winter. we planned out some trips to Oslo where we lived at Tobias and Jessi's place. During those days we ended up filming together with Jakub "shymonkey" and Endre who both where living in the same house, also we invited other good homies who was hyped to join on missions like Didric, Oivind and Will that joined for different amount of time. The focus was just to have fun, ride street and don't be too serious about anything. Hope this inspires more people to go ride some street on any level. Stay Basket."

59 seconds with... Nico Bondi and Mia Brookes in Laax.

Vans have recently added two new young guns to their roster, Mia Brookes and Nico Bondi. While in Laax for the 2020 Vans Hi Standard we took a few runs with these two rippers through the park, the pow and also the skatepark - which they both destroyed. It was good to see these kids psyched on riding powder and stylish snowboarding, rather than just caring about contest results. They do both ride contests, but they’ve clearly got their priorities right when it comes to snowboarding. Keep your eyes on them, because they are the future.

Cameos from Alek Ostreng, Maxi Preissinger, Nikita Sekh and Klaudia Medlova.
