3 Comps in 3 weeks
Hey Guys,
it has been a busy 3 weeks for me, going to switzerland twice and austria for the Red Bull 401, Austrian Freeski Open and European Freeski Open!
The Red Bull 401 took place 3 weeks ago in Hoch Ybrig switzerland!
It is a whole different comp then all others, u have a dartboard with all four 1080´s as the bullzeye and then all four 9´s all four 7´s and so on!
U also have 2straight airs and 2switch straight airs!Every trick is worth a different amount of points and u have to get down from 401 to 0 in as less runs as possible, by performing certain tricks, mixed with double grabs, combo graps, inverts and double corks bonuses!
It really is hard to understand but the Red Bull guys did it perfect = )
I ended up in 3rd place behind Jonas Hunziker and Elias Ambuehl!
The comp was a lot of fun, the weather was perfect and the concept legendary.

stoked about 3rd place
After switzerland it was about time to go back home and take part in the Austrian Freeski Open!
This year all the athletes gathered in Kaprun!
The location was new and the thoughts were high!
After a good first traing day up on Kitzsteinhorn everybody was ready for the big Finals!
Due to the weather situation the organisators had to do qualifications and finals in one day!
The Strong wind made it hard to get the speed right, and we were only able to hit 2out of 5obstacles! I decided to to something different and nose butterd the kicker besides the canon box, with a nose butter cork 9 and a sw cork 9 on the jump! Unfortunately this was not enough but I ended up sessioning the smaller jup a little more and tried a nose butter cork 12 = )

Nimbus Point & Shoot: Garrett Russell’s HOME

Point & Shoot by Nimbus Independent is a series of quick edits from Nimbus Athletes (in this case LINE MC Garrett Russell) so tune into their site for new videos!
Epic skiing in the San Juans of Colorado. My brother, roommate, and myself skiing some classic back country. Thanks goes out to Will Wesson for filming me in the park and BC booters, Brad Foley for taking photos of me, and my brother for showing me the way! Other than that, this is what I have been up to on my free time. I won’t lie, I really miss Mammoth sometimes and riding with the crew, who ever it may be. But a man has got to do what a man has got to do.
For me… this is saving the Russell legacy; our sacred cabin.
Powder Mag Week Begins
Line is out here in Jackson Hole, WY shredding the gnar with Powder Magazine for their annual ski test and gathering of the ski industry people who sit behind desks most of the time. Hopefully we can make it through the week. Enjoy the pics!

Hattrick at Polish Open
The road trip to Zakopane actually starts on Wednesday, including the consequences of a Wednesday night in Innsbruck. A part of the crew was displaced to some of Innsbruck finest localities by the Legs of Steel. This is why the departure time was changed without further ado from 8h to 10h at 5 o‘clock in the morning.

Polish Streets
On Thursday morning the downdays and Line traveling crew consisting of the Photographer Thomas Charry, Jussi Mononen and Jonee Puelz under the guidance of Line‘s „Mista Cash“ Korbi left to Poland. At the Chiemsee Roy Kittler joined us. The fact that it finally snowed after a dry period lasting for weeks implied a big disadvantage for us. The traveling time was extended about more than 4 hours, so in total we spent 14,5 hours on the road. Our 2 navigation systems both didn‘t know Zakopane, which didn‘t speed up our duration spent in the car, as well.

Eric Pollard’s Self-Edit(s)
Eric Pollard is a skier, an artist, a ski designer, and a film maker. His vision for Nimbus Independent has become reality traveling around the world filming what he wants, with who he wants. The best part is he gets to edit it how he wants. This all started from not being satisfied with how his segments were edited. Enter the famous Eric Pollard “Self Edit”. Even though EP’s day job has become making self edits (and of his friends), he still has time for Line to pump out a fresh one of his 2009 season.
Eric now has a FACEBOOK page, so you can be his fan and get updates from the road! Enjoy!
