Check this slick teaser for what appears to be a serious look at the importance of snowboarding to the lives of Ride’s pro team. And if in depth navel gazing’s not your thing, then fear not as we’re betting that with the likes of Jake Blauvelt, Seb Toots, Hana Beaman, Marco Feichtner, Alex Cantin and Austin Hironaka as the subjects there’s gonna be some heavy stunts being thrown down in the episodes too.

The last of Sebi Geiger and co’s Different Direction webisodes of the season is live, and sees the crew getting their splitboard on in their home resort of Silvretta Montafon. POW!

“We’ve been filming this episode in our homeresort Silvretta Montafon with Manuel Bernert and local hero MFM (Marco Feichtner). We tried to search for new areas with our splitboards to shoot on new spots. Unfortunately we had to stop filming one week earlier than expected because Sebi hurt his ankle on the last spot.

This was the last episode for this winter and we want to thank you all for watching! It was a pleasure for us and we hope we will see us next winter again! Goodbye for a while.”

The 686 team trip episode 2 is out: see Forest Bailey, Marco Feichtner, Ryan Paul, Sebi Geiger, Ben Thomas-Javid, Mario Wanger, Atsushi Hasegawa and Captain Pat McCarthy messing around avalanches barriers and getting buried in the Montafon backyards.

This is Episode II of the 686 Team Series, watch the first episode here, and find out more on 686.com.

Check out Fichtl’s epic full part from this season’s Pirates movie, UNIQUE8. It’s a full-on powder bang fest. Now go snag yourself a full copy of that badboy on iTunes. In our opinion it’s their strongest movie to date.

Scuttle over and bag your copy of UNIQUE8 on iTunes.

Marco ‘Fichtl’ Feichtner is a beast when it comes to getting it done in the backcountry. This edit is shots that didn’t make the cut for his part in UNIQUE8 but, really, are pretty sick nonetheless…

Second part? Oh yes, the first part can be found here.

Forest Bailey, Marco Feichtner, Ryan Paul, Sebi Geiger, Ben Thomas-Javid, Mario Wanger, Atsushi Hasegawa and Captain Pat McCarthy teamed up for some fun times at the 686 team week in Marco’s dumped up backyard of Montafon. Check out the first webisode of the 686 Team Series.

Here’s the full flick. Enjoy 53 minutes of madness from the Winter of 2011-2012.

The Mad Ones is a a web-based video project by Liam Gallagher. Inspired by the Beat Generation and specifically the writings of Jack Kerouac, The Mad Ones followed the freaks, all winter long. This is a movie about snowboarding and some Beatniks.

Riders:

Forest Bailey, Forrest Burki, Patrick McCarthy, Shaun McKay, Wyatt Stasinos, Nick Russell, Kael Martin, Bryan Fox, Mark Landvik, Lucas Debari, Nick Ennen, Scott Blum, Dan Liedahl, Alex Beebe, Will Lavigne, Jamie Lynn, Sebi Geiger, Marco Feichtner, Atsushi Hasegawa, Kohei Kudo, Austin Hironaka and many more.

Watch 40 seconds of Kalle Ohlson and Marco Feichtner getting beatdowns filming for their parts in Pirates’ new movie, UNIQUE8. Oof.

Marco and Kalle are two hard workers and solid stompers but both take a beating once in a while. This is a reminder that flying high and dropping deep has consequences when a detail is wrong – that’s when maneuvers get out of control. It doesn’t matter how good you are – sooner or later you will eat shit!

Our second, hammer-filled issue of the season hits stores today that will have you frothing to strap in like a rabid wolf. Peek at what’s in issue 132…

DYLAN THOMPSON INTERVIEW

It’s fair to say that Dylan Thompson’s something of an enigma here in Europe but one thing’s certain: his riding’s anything but low-key. After successive, mindblowing urban assaults in FODT’s recent movies we decided to give Dylan the exposure his riding deserves.

KAZAKHSTAN

Last winter our French ed embarked on a journey east with Morgan Lefaucheur and his Almo Films crew. Their destination? Kazakhstan. Going low on the Borat-gags an high on culture, the boys scored the goods and slashed and jibbed the old Soviet state’s impressive mountains and monuments.

GIGI & FICHTL SCORE PERFECT MONTAFON

An early-season dump in the Montafon meant the Pirates crew got off to a sterling start shooting for UNIQUE8. Regional homeboys Gigi Rüf and Marco Feichtner took full advantage of the tit-deep conditions for the lens of Jerome Tanon.
