8Mile Life Whistler Montage

Some choice cuts of deep winter bluebird awesome from Whistler on this toasty Tuesday morning.

Not a great deal happening on Planet Rad this morning – winter’s done, it’s too early for the glaciers to be really rocking and the southern hemi’s yet to crank up – so to ease the pain here’s some highlights of full-on winter shred sledding from 2009. Balls deep bangers from Whistler BC never get old, and nor do guys like Johnny Lyall, Kale Stephens, Benji Ritchie, Charles White, Mikey Rencz, Eero Niemela, Gaetan Chanut, Martin Gallant, and Terje Haakonsen.Cheers for the pickmeup, 8Mile Life dudes.

8Mile – New Monster Episode

Uli Köhler — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 13:17:55 +0000

The 8Mile crew is back with a whole season of sick webisodes. 8Mile Life? Man, it’s those heavy hitters that put out the excellent Moose with Hat flick earlier this season, and they are always busy throwing out sick web content.* Apparently they now have backing from Monster Energy, which is always a good thing in terms of financial support (and complimentary energy drinks).

Featured riders: Mikey Rencz, Eero Niemela, Johnny Lyall, IIkka Backstrom, Dustin Craven, Andrew Geeves, Kale Stephens, Jody Wachniak, Benji Ritchie, Kevin Griffin, Devun Walsh, Chris Dufficy, Shin Campos, Todd Malus, and Charles White.

More episodes to drop on a monthly basis & more information on their website.

* And here’s 8Mile explained in 8Mile’s own un-minced words:

“8mile, originally the basement suite of Mikey Rencz, Johnny Lyall, and Eero Niemela in Creekside, Whistler B.C., was home to many of the worlds top pro snowboarders. Night after night the sh*t kept piling up and morning after morning the stories grew. 8 Mile is now a lifestyle…we ride it every day and live it every night! This is a snowboard movie of professionals living their (sometimes not so glamorous) lifestyle, filmed and edited in the interest of good times! This movie isn’t just about rad snowboard footage but the lifestyles and personalities of snowboarding today. No holding back!…ok maybe a couple things”

Since we are official media partners I guess we better post this gem! It is 8Mile Life’s “Moose with Hat” teaser. I know, there’s too many film crews these days to remember all of them. Tell us about it. But this one is different – it features Johnny Lyall, Eero Niemela, Mikey Rencz, Kale Stephens, Iikka Backstrom, Benji Ritchie, Kevin Griffin, Jody Wachniank, Chucky, Dustin Craven, Tall Todd and many more! It’s good. It’s fun. For real!
