On sunday after the snowbroader Spring Party in Lyon, we met up with Arnaud, the guy who brought Freeboarding in France. Arnaud had called up some of the local freeborders and fixed us with some decks. The guys brought us to a nice spot, gave us some good advice about how to nail it and we got our first tries.
The idea with Freebord is basically very simple: don’t think skateboarding, think snowboarding.
At first it’s really strange but after trying and trying again, we managed to get our first rides going!
Frankly it’s the best thing I tried since a long time. The feeling is really like snowboarding…the streets!
I had a blast and I think I’m already addicted to it.
Arnaud was kind enough to offer us a board so that’s it: I’ll Freebord the whole summer for sure!

It took me a good 30 minutes to feel confident and get some cool rides. It only took Kevin Pearce 2 minutes to be an expert…at least that’s what Arnaud told me. But I believe him and this video proves it! Try a Freebord as soon as you can!

For the third year in a row it’s time for some of Scandinavia’s finest snowboarders to take over the town of Kumla on the 30th of April, Today!!
Just as last year, invitations have also been sent out to riders in other parts of Europe.

The site of the event is the beautiful park of Kumlasjön which is located in the centre of the town. The park has a”natural slope” which will be built to a contest arena with lots of rails, boxes, bonks etc.b

There will be some new rails and boxes this year that the infamous David Ny and his company Scandinavian rails will build.
Some of the sponsors will also be attending DC RNJI to show some of their new products and during the day there will be Swedish top DJs and artists performing live on stage.
On the evening The Fabulous Flying Circus and the Aloha Hemp girls will throw a huge party at Club Zäta for everyone over 18years old!!

Yo yo! We arrived yesterday evening in les 2 Alpes and went straight to party in smithy’s for the sNowsurf party. It was cool, the beer was flowing and we met a lot of friends. We didn’t party that hard for a first night but just enough to miss out the wake up call this morning.

No worries, the sun was shining and we went to pick up our accreditation. After the Jandri ride, we arrived on the “village”. Lots of brands had a booth and it was really not so busy. Perfect weather conditions but really icy snow so we didn’t ride much but the park was nicely shaped and some riders were going big. We spend some time on the village and interviewed quite a lot of “important” people. Watch out for BrOADER [TV] episodes coming up very soon!!!

Heading back down in the middle of the afternoon, we went to check the Mini “Réunion de chantier” contest organised by Rossignol. Quite fun! A nice trick on the pic nic table owned a teesh and the ollie contest was going on too.
Next to it, Burton build a huge rail setup and kids where throwing themselves on to train for The Freestyle Highway to rail which will start in roughly an hour!

That’s it for no, talk to you later. The bros.
