Tom Copsey — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 06:38:42 +0000

Watch this if you like switch backside 180 Methods, rad Finnish riders and roadtrips…

Jon Vital, one of the dudes who used to film for the pretty sick Ero One films, spent last winter shooting with the renowned KBR Productions crew. To end his season Jon embarked on a road trip to Lapland that ended at Wappulounas. He made a documentary on the hidden side of a roadtrip between snowboarding, parties and chill out…

KBR Productions Presents – ‘Golden Years’ Teaser

Tom Copsey — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 06:47:29 +0000

The crew of Finnish badasses responsible for last year’s most excellent movie, Snake Bite, are back with the teaser for their new project, dubbed Golden Years. It looks hyper rad. Get the lowdown and check the teaser like right now!

KBR have in the space of a short few years gone from plucky upstarts churning out bro-cam edits to Euro movie crew heavyweights. Check their full movie from last year at the bottom of this post and you’ll see they mean business. For 2013 they’ve added a few more Finnish ninjas to the roster, switched up the format a little – they plan to release three ‘chapters’ followed up by an extended full movie this autumn – and by the look of the teaser Golden Years is going to be stoking the asses off street-focussed shredders, while even giving those with a penchant for pow a li’l something something too.

KBR’s Golden Years presented by Battery.

Three chapters and extended full movie dropping in Fall 2013.

Filmed by Eemeli Nättinen, Gus Tible & Jon Vital.

Riders: Toni Kerkelä, Petrus Koskinen, Sami Luhtanen, Janne Lipsanen, Teo Konttinen, Antti Jussila, Sakari Lähdesmäki, Niko Länsiö, Jani Sorasalmi & Elias Veijola.

Best Free Snowboard Movies of 2012 – #10 – Snake Bite

Uli Köhler — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 16:00:56 +0000

In an all-new approach to snowboard journalism we let Google Analytics decide which were the most successful free snowboard movies of 2012 (aka we were too lazy to curate anything on our own). However, looking through the list it became apparent that some of the movies are that good, you, us, and everyone should watch them over and over again. And what better than sipping on eggnogs under the Christmas tree and getting stoked on snowboarding. Well, apart from going snowboarding, which is exactly what we’ll be doing while you’re reading this.

The 10th most popular free snowboard movie of 2012 was KBR Productions’ Snake Bite. Finland’s best up-and-comers get their shred game on, mostly on rails, in parks, and around town. Their best movie yet? Hell yeah.

Riders: Petrus Koskinen, Sakari Lähdesmäki, Elias Veijola, Toni Kerkelä, Sami Luhtanen, Antti Jussila, Janne Lipsanen, Niko Länsiö, Roope Höynä and more.

KBR Productions’ Snakebite B-Roll

Tom Copsey — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:42:16 +0000

KBR’s latest movie, Snakebite, drops online on November 5 2012. Till then, they’ve decided to wet your appetite by dropping this edit of shots that didn’t quite make the final cut.

Don’t let the B-roll moniker phase you; there’s some fancy railboarding on show in this. After watching it already, we can attest that the full movie itself is fully worth a watch, so stay tuned for that – or you could even head to the the Helsinki Snakebite premiere should you be bold enough to party Finnish style.

Riders: Toni Kerkelä, Antti Jussila, Elias Veijola, Sakari Lähdesmäki, Niko Länsiö, Janne Lipsanen, Sami Luhtanen & Petrus Koskinen

KBR Boys Lapping Ruka

Tom Copsey — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:50:27 +0000

The KBR crew are back with another quick edit of some funtime park lapping at Ruka. There are no triple corks in this, just good riding that really made us want to go shred ourselves.

KBR Meets You – Full Movie

Tom Copsey — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 09:30:39 +0000

This free Finnish flick from KBR Productions will have you hyped. Just watch it.

The crew at KBR Productions have been impressing us each year with their low budget/high quality snowboard flicks featuring some of the lesser-known Scandis. Each year the riding’s got better as has the filming and editing, so following on from last winter’s banger, Homework, is their latest offering – KBR Meets You. Even our notoriously hard-to-please photo ed was pumped on this bad boy.

Nice to meet you!
