The Northwave Drake CAMP OUT Tour ended its busy schedule last friday. Two weeks of intense travelling, riding and activities to spread around Northwave – Drake support for snowboarding. It really was a success. Here below an overview of the tour from the words of NICK VISCONTI. Attached some pictures. Thanks again to Alvaro, the team riders, the photographer, the filmer and everyone who made this possible.

“The Drake Northwave European “Camp Out” tour is gearing down from the Autobahn’s fast lane to the road for recovery. I literally don’t even know how to describe in detail the tour, partly due to the fact that if I did your email inbox would not be able to receive the Gb size of the text I would have to send. The tour schedule has been little less than literally insane. Nothwave/Drake’s “Camp Out” Tour was a euro hallucinogen trip! The drug reference was nothing less than a metaphor to describe the excess of productivity. We may all have a screw loose for attempting and succeeding in this tour, but our binding screws were tight and we left the European Alpine front more destroyed than WW2 . All this being said, it has been a truly incredible experience. We have been constantly in motion pinballing between countries, retailers, photo shoots, magazine meetings (including Rolling Stones,) and glacial snowboarding. Specifically, we snowboarded in Hintertux, Saas-Fee, Zermatt, and Les2Alpes.; we visited key retailers in Montebelluna, Milan, Munich, Innsbruck, Grenoble, and Saas-Fee; and we linked with Onboard Snowboard Magazine, Act Snowboard Magazine, Sequence Snowboard Magazine, European Snowboarder Magazine, and briefly with Pleasure Snowboard Magazine. When reflecting over the past two weeks, I am blinded with a flabbergast that glazes my eyes with awe… and delirium. I am filled with a sense of overwhelming gratitude and satisfaction that we have made more than the most of the tour. Stay tuned with Northwave/Drake for tour videos, photos and text via social media platforms, websites and the 13/14 catalog. Furthermore, our trek will be highlighted with the above magazines and marqueed in OnBoard Snowboard Magazine as a 10-page editorial print piece releasing soon! I have never been more physically stretched from lack of sleep, over-socialization, and snowboarding, but am glad because it revealed the limits of how we can push physically, mentally and spiritually and stay healthy. Now reflecting from a friends home in Geneva, Switzerland I am at a loss for words to describe the blessings of this trip. I am a sponge for knowledge, relationships and experiences; because of this I am forever grateful after many trips to Europe to no longer be a tourist or traveler, but a distant relative that visits home frequently. Investing into memories, not materials.

I was tempted to write about the unlikeliness of our readership to ever ride at Mountain High in Southern California, but then I looked at our website logo and remembered we are the authority on “global snowboarding”, which makes this teaser kind of relevant.

Coming in Fall 2012, Mountain High’s first full length snowboarding film featuring MFM, Kyle Lopiccolo, Nick Visconti, Harrison Gordon, Spencer Link, Cory Cronk, Trever Haas, and Ryan Paul.

The 2012 Winter X Games saw their first snowboarding gold medallist when the Snowboard Street competition went down last night. Forest Bailey took the victory ahead of Ryan Paul and Nick Visconti. Instead of describing what wizardry they pulled off we recommend you just watch this clip. It’s all in there…

Check out this highlights edit of shots that were made possible thanks to the Banshee Bungee. BANGARRZZZZ!

It’s no secret that, along with the motorised winch, the bungee has transformed urban snowboarding and the way riders look at features downtown. What was once overlooked as speed was impossible to get is now a whole new playground to be explored.

Banshee Bungee are the best-known makers of the bungee, and have dropped this highlights reel of the bangers that were bagged thanks to their lengths of coiled rubber. With riding from Jake Kuzyk, Dan Brisse, Bode Merril and more, this is fully legit. Watch it.

Riders: Jake Kuzyk, Parker Duke, Nick Visconti, Lucas Magoon, Nic Sauve, Dan Brisse, Sean Black, Jonah Owen, Alex Cantin, Bode Merrill, Nik Cioffi, Teo Konttinen, Dylan Thompson, Johnnie Paxson

Highlights from: Absinthe’s twe12ve, Videograss’s Retrospect, MFM & Fam’s Familia 2, Think Thank’s Ransack Rebellion, Pirate Movie Production’s Bottom Line, Forum’s Vacation.

It takes about 1:45 until the riding begins, but even before that, things are quite entertaining.

With “Hot August Nights ” revving up in Reno, it is only befitting to showcase where our engines took us in “Hot August Days.”

As anyone who’s ever done it will attest, snowboarding in summer is one of the funnest experiences you can have. Once you’ve accustomed yourself to the horror of early starts after long nights of making party, the slushy shredding and off the hill activities will have you reconsidering heading to get a pummling in the surf.

Nick Visconti and his Dangerzone crew know this and skipped across the pond to hit up France’s finest summer snowboard spot – Les Deux Alpes. Let the goodtimes roll…
