Anne-Flore Marxer just got hooked up with APO and will be riding their MTD board from now on. X Games medallist Spencer O’Brien is also in their team and they’ve got a whacking great 4 girls boards in next year’s line. AFM has fingers in just about every snowboarding pie from comps to big booters in the soft stuff, and whenever she pops up on the youtube she’s having a laugh. She’s downright rad at sliding down mountains, and not even ‘for a girl’ rad, just plain rad. Plus, she has the industry standard 3 letter name, she’ll go far for sure. Big up yourself AFM.

Here’s what APO and AFM herself said about the move:

‘‘I’m glad to announce that I just signed with Apo!  I most definitely LOVE my new board! Super playful, light under the feet, mad pop, double rocker and super easy in pow but still awesome for freestyle moves!  It’s been a while since I had such a fun toy under my feet!  The team is full of really fun shredders who I have tons of respect for and love to hang with! The Apo office is right around the corner and I LOVED our very first meeting which was supposed to happen in the office and ended up as a big half day of pow shred before everyone went back to work!  40cm and blue sky, what else for a great start!?!

Another APO podcast dropped, and it features the lesser know riders of their team: Valerian Ducourtil, Aljosa Krivec, Johann Baisamy, Felix Cadiou, Flo Heim, Jonel Fricke, Franck Moissonnier and Chris Weber.

Enjoy!

APO are back with their second webisode, and this time round it’s Swedish slayer Hampus Mosesson and Canadian Martin Gallant getting it done downtown and in the BC. Another killer APOdcast, it must be said.

APO Snowboards look to be killing it right now. Following hot on the heels of last week’s APOdcast 1, with Rene Schöller showing off his powder skills, is this two-man bangfest featuring Hampus Mosesson killing it downtown and Martin Gallant clocking up some solid pow-miles. Watch it now.

Winter’s well on the way and APO Snowboards have kicked off another season of their APOdcasts with this stoke-inspiring shredit of team bud Rene Schnöller slaying more powder than should be legal.

If this does not make you want to ride, you are either not a snowboarder, or dead. Simple.

The boys score the goods at the Austrian resort, with Arthur Longo, Valerian Ducourtil, Coin Coin and co sessioning some solid backcountry booters and the infamous chalet gap, plus Francky Moissoinier gets some more POV goodness for your eyeballs.

Following hot on the heels of that is another edit, this time of how Coin Coin got on at the recent Winter X Games Europe in Tignes, France. Check it out!

Regis Rolland was one of the first snowboarders in Europe (if you haven’t seen the Apocalypse Snow movies then you should try to hunt a copy down to see Regis in his pomp, out-running avalanches and, improbably, 80s ski aliens in equal measure.) He’s had his hand in several of Europe’s foremost snowboard brands – Apocalypse, A. Snowboards and now APO – and you could legitimately argue that what this guy doesn’t know about making snowboards doesn’t merit knowing.

Arguments aside, Regis knows his stuff and is therefore the best person to talk through some of APO’s highlight product for next season. First up is the freestyle-orientated MTD that’s aimed at anyone who likes to send it, with a dual rocker for easy-riding fun and carbon torsion beams for solid edge hold and heaps of pop. Next is Tyler Chorlton‘s first ever pro model, the TC, which Tyler himself designed the shape for and features the combined W Rocker. Then there’s the pow-loving Spray, their new model for the deep days featuring a huge nose, narrow tail and a soft flex. To wrap it up, Regis raps on APO’s dual entry system binding, the Expresso, which allows you to fold the highback down for easy entry or use ‘em as regular bindings on steeps.

So check out what he has to say about these new bits of shred gear from the APO stable.

As you may have noticed from our earlier guttural post, we are deep in the bowls of the snowboard tradeshow ISPO, feasting our eyes on that latest, freshest product that the brands will be offering you up come fall. Check out some of the highlights from our first day of snooping, with the Ride, Dragon, K2, Capita, Union, Analog, APO, DC, Rome, Bataleon, Rip Curl, Volcom and more in snappycam’s eager viewfinder…
