For the last week of our tour we were invited by our Bardonecchian friends from YesWeCamp. Hospitality is their thing, having awesome meals three times a day and enjoying fine company in the public area of the camp. We enjoyed our stay so much we decided to stay a few more days.

Now look what we found on our mothership Mpora: Advita’s Summer Shred Edit from Les2Alpes. Great jib action with and filming with the inescapable GoPro cam by Kuba Ditkowski, Alex Sarrazin, Charles Gagnon, John Weatherley, Pierre Rue,Romain Taillefer, Mike Stalhberg & Stepan Rokos.

Enjoy!

The late John Archibald Wheeler, apparently a big shot in theoretical physics, once said: “Time is what prevents everything from happening at once.” And it is also what makes us come up with a new This Week in Snowboarding every week. Smart-people shit and snowboarding, kablam! Once again here are the highlights from this week’s snowboarding, drawn from our own site and other places that are actually good.

The urine samples gave some reasons for concern.

SATURDAY

No Joke seems to be a decent movie from Canada. But hands down, Share the Wealth looks even better. And Jeremy Jones charging down one gnar of a line doesn’t look too bad, either. 60s surf rock in a teaser is always a plus: Be Happy teaser. The Videograss crew have fun between their shots. And a Polish dude attempts to snowboard the Nanga Parbat.

SUNDAY

The angry man brings us the full Afterbang movie. Don’t forget about the epic speed snowboarder Darren Powell. Speaking of which, the Helgasons have a go at it, too.

These days some pros need a cheat sheet for their lifestyle.

MONDAY

Seb Toots has won the Billabong Ante Up contest, as this video documents. And Matts Kulisek did something scary at the same event. Watch this clip and this teaser and join the Les2Alpes summer camps. Watch that teaser and go to Japan. The Ästhetiker rip some summer pow in Hintertux. YES Snowboards bag an award. Annie Boulanger is a rad chick. (By the way, the surf in Iceland looks sick!) The 2018 Winter Olympics host race is down to three.

TUESDAY

Videograss release their epic Bon Voyage teaser, and FODT release the equally classy The Arena teaser. And there’s more teasers: Bald-E-Gal, The Völkl team can’t surf. And Tamworth sees some good riding, too.

WEDNESDAY

The teaser for 9191, the Gigi movie, is out, and it looks oh so good. The German 21Inch teaser pops up on our site. The kids make the flakes fly at HCSC session #1. The What’s Up teaser hails from Quebec. Sandbox hit up the DC Mountain Lab. Meet “the Andreas Wiig of the Andes“. Check out this awesome Burton x Tron collabo, because you’re all probably a hipster.

How can you make alpine riding look better? Throw a splashy photoshop filter on it!

THURSDAY

Watch bHappy‘s mellow last day at Northstar (warning, includes some skiing). The Cardona park down under looks gooood. The Japanese Catch Me teaser is good stuff. If you have a lot of time, watch this long German edit, or this equally long True Color clip. Speaking of Germans, their Playboard magazine turned 15 (congrats!). Kazu is the man! But do you know Charlie Idda? While we have been awarded the ‘Do Nothing Award’ several times Hannah Teter might be in for VH1′s ‘Do Something’ version. The first week of summer camp in Val Senales was a success. The pow in Brighton, too. And there will be a big air event in Las farking Vegas!

FRIDAY

The first of Think Thank’s first Right Brain Left Brain mini teasers is out. The Dew Hut Jam hails with a clip from Australia. Fluofun post a lot of next season’s board information on their site. Unfortunately, it’s all in French. Watch Andy Wright‘s 08/09 slideshow. And it is so hot in Vermont right now, you can have BBQs. Indoors.

That’s all for this week, folks. Enjoy your weekend, and don’t drink too much!

„SUMMERTIME MELT DOWN, BBQ DELUXE, FRENCH VANILLA SUNDAYS & ALL THE GOOD STUFF!“

The days are getting longer and our goggle tans are in full swing so we are heading to Les Deux Alpes, France for a wicked Summer Camp
from July 3rd until 10th. The Chillydog wagon is ready to Bang like a Benzy, Andreas Wiig and the guys are flying over to join the family so you already know this week will be off the hook! Through the week events will be going on like a Game of Skate, Forum Jib Fest, Board Tuning night, BBQs at “Les Bleuets” Bar, and of course a legendary party with the Drunken Masters at L‘Avalanche Club.

You get the chance to shred with FORUM teamriders, such as: PAT MOORE, ANDREAS WIIG, NIC SAUVE, MARIO KÄPPELI, NIKI KORPELA, SIMON GRUBER, GERBEN VERWEIJ & JESSE AUGUSTINUS!

ACCOMODATION: Résidence Le Cabourg in Les Deux Alpes

FREE: Forum Summer Camp Kit

Open to all girls and guys above 16
*16 to 18 years need to bring a guardian.

Vomit is the new neon.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY

Les2Alpes is THE place for summer camps. Or is it Blackcomb? Or New Zealand? It is definitely not Den Haag, as their indoor slope is bankrupt again. Generally, there’s a lot to do on weekends. Water sliding, for example. By the way, Shaun’s fans are scary.

MONDAY

Blaze is a cool name. The Forum Holy Moly has made a self-proclaimed angry man even angrier. A kiss mark will adorn the new TTR trophy. Skateboards are more dangerous than snowboards (or parcours). And then, there’s Harry.

TUESDAY

The Saturday Night Ride Teaser is a banger. The Homies Crew rip up Superpark. The Visual Collective‘s new teaser is out. The Kaunertal is always good for some jib action. A new film is actually called Mortal Wombat.

Collecting TTR points: Style necessary.

WEDNESDAY

Germans don’t like Greek people anymore and might stay at home over summer and collect TTR points. In California, it might become a crime not to wear a helmet. And here’s a recipe for how to fuck up your season.

THURSDAY

Straight outta Japan, Heart Films release a pow-heavy teaser. The Finns have done their homework, too. Shaun White wants to get into Hollywood. Our weekly posts get recycled, and maybe there’s too many contests.

FRIDAY

Nikita Chickita is so much fun, Isenseven’s new teaser is even more fun, and vomit is the new neon. Bon weekend, bitches!

Summer time: Why go snowboarding when you can just go, ahem, boarding?
