Whoever uploaded this gem from around 2001, we salute you. Abandon work for the week, crack open a brew and check out the Canadian Wildcats crew in their heyday. Awesome movie.

For those of you wondering where those dirty Icelanders who produced the now-infamous A2M movie got their inspiration, watch this and pay special attention to the 15-odd minutes post-credits where the magic truly happens…

And if you’re wondering where these guys got their inspiration from, watch this.

Return of the Wildcats is the second snowboard video from the infamous Canadian/American crew and as you would imagine the vid contains plenty of sick footage…Although a lot of the video is made up of footage of the likes of Trevor Andrew pissed and falling around the place, there’s also a lot of good snowboarding…All the team riders have good individual sections…Kale Stephens has the first section with plenty of snowmobile action as well as some sick snowboarding including a massive cab 900. Chris Brown’s section is one of the best with the tune “I’m an Arsehole” by Dennis Leary going down very well. Also features Max Jenke, Devun Walsh, Chris Dufficy, Dionne Delesalle, Joni Malmi, Paavo Tikannen, and plenty of others.

Featuring: Bjorn Leines, Chris Brown, Dave Cashen, Dionne Delesalle, J.F. Pelchat, Kale Stephens, Pete Andersen, Brad Plamus, Chris Dufficy, Devun Walsh, Gaetan Chanut, Jacob McIntyre, Max Jenke, Rob Dow

Two of our favourite riders in the game – Messers Tyler Chorlton and Gerome Mathieu – set up their own movie production gig last season and called it WhatWeWant Films. Levity is their first full movie, and it is banging. Watch it now!

30-odd minutes of some of Europe’s finest stomping their mark across the pow-laden zones of the planet? This is what we want, and this is what they say…

Alright, here is our first movie called Levity. We’ve been shooting around Europe, Turkey, Japan, Canada and the USA for it and we had great conditions everytime. Enjoy the movie as it completely free and stay tuned for more podcasts and a new movie after next season!

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.
