Woodward @ Copper – LINE Week!

July 15th, 2010 - Posted by Apeman in News, Propaganda

LINE week at Woodward just went down!  LINE MC’s Ian Compton and Alex Albers on the chronic-cryptonites and Carrie Rossman on her shadows joined the campers for session 3 at Copper mt.  The week’s schedule included skiing on Copper’s summer version of the Catalyst terrain park in the morning, barn sessions in the afternoon, and many other recreational activities throughout the evening. The session had a great atmosphere where tons of new tricks were dialed in and put on lock for the up coming winter season.

Take a look at what the morning had to offer.

Taking a brake in the morning from hiking, Ian Compton sits to meet the campers and take a minuet to floss.

Happy (day after) Canada Day!!!

July 2nd, 2010 - Posted by ryan in Propaganda

What did these three crazy Canadians from Montreal do when they ran out of snow? They drove to Hood that’s what! In the first of three installments these guys faced an epic journey past border guards, thunderstorms, Team America and rising gas prices. Thankfully they made it to Hood where they were able to kill it in the park with Afterbangs and put the footage to tight jeans rap. Watch and you’ll understand.

Ski Testing at Hood

June 24th, 2010 - Posted by ryan in Propaganda

On the slopes of Mt. Hood in Oregon, a group of Line’s finest tested out some secret skis under blue skies and sunshine. Even Eric Pollard drove up the road to join in and give his full participation.

After all the ski swapping and laps were over the group headed down for some Huckleberry shakes and a thorough discussion about the pros and cons of what they rode that day. This is how progression happens and great skis are made.

LINE Podium @ AAI

March 23rd, 2010 - Posted by korbi_r in Propaganda

Hey Folks,
just came back from the Andri Ambühl Invitational in Arosa, Switzerland and I have to say it was a great weekend!
I drove to Arosa friday night together with Jussi Mononen after having a great day shredding in Mayrhofen!
Saturday we woke up to perfect weather and went straight up to the mountain.
The kicker was in perfect shape and after 1,5h of practise on the PERFECT jump the qualification´s were on! After three runs, one style, one tech and one jump of the riders choice 8 people made it to finals!
After a little wind came up we decided to change the format to two jumps, one style and one tech, both of them count!
So one little mistake could cost u the win…
Everybody was still throwing down hard and a lot of sw 9´s sw 10´s forward 10´s and flat 5´s were seen from a lot of the riders!
Jussi Mononen took 3rd place and his first podium of the season by showing what he can do best in skiing a huge cork 3 japan styled out until the end and a massive cork 9 reverse tail!

Jussi´s cork 3

In the end it was down to Elias and me after scoring a 91.33 on my first cork 7 blunt and beating Elias in the Style createria everything was down on the final jump!
I went big with a sw dub cork 9 mute stomping everything clean, while Elias boosted a forward dub cork 10 mute taking him the win by just a few points!

Finally I ended up in 2nd position which I´m really stoked about!

I have to say a huge thank you to Andri who straight is the man by offering one of the best jumps I have ever hit!

3 Comps in 3 weeks

March 9th, 2010 - Posted by korbi_r in Propaganda

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.

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 = )

In the end Jossi Wells was the men to beat, followed by Russ Henshaw in second!
Pekka Hyssalo showed up a really strong performance with a sick dub cork 12, but unfortunately he missed the podium by one spot! Big Up to Pekka who skied really good!
After Austria it was time to get back to switzerland for the European Freeski Open!
After the Qualificatin went really well for me, qualifying in 4th with a lip 2 in the downrail, a 2 in 2out on the straight gap box, a sw 180 in 180 out on the wallride, a sw right bio 7blunt followed by a sw left dub cork9 mute and a right cork 9 blunt, my expactations for friday finals were high!
efo roy
Unfortunately we were unlucky again, the weather changed and slopestyle finals got cancelled due to heavy storms!
Instead a Rail Jam was happening which I ended up getting 10th place and best german competitor! I did some sw 2 pretzel 2 on the dowrail and a sw 2 blind change up to 2 out on the dub kinked rail! 
After Euro Open I headed back home to enjoy one wonderfull powder day with my girlfriend and now it is time to go back filming yeeeeaaaaahhhhh =)
have a good one everybody and make sure to check out:

Nimbus Point & Shoot: Garrett Russell’s HOME

March 2nd, 2010 - Posted by Apeman in Propaganda

pns

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.
