Behold! Here’s the movie you’ve been frothing to see – Eiki and Halldor Helgason’s Sexual Snowboarding, the full movie. Watch it.

Ok so strictly speaking the full full movie would include yesterday’s more by-the-numbers friends part, this, and a yet to be disclosed full part, but for all intents and purposes this here is the one.

Featuring Eiki, Halldor, Gulli, a couple buds and a section devoted solely to you guys who submitted clips (rad idea), plus all the associated fuckwittery you’d expect from these boys, this is what it’s about. Think the original Euro Gap movies and you’re in the right bar.

Click play, enjoy. Thanks gents.

Fredu Sirviö & Risto Ruokola to Launch Yellowsnowboarding.com

Tom Copsey — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 10:08:37 +0000

Two of our Finnish buddies, Risto Ruokola & Fredu Sirviö, will launch their “lifestyle blog” Yellowsnowboarding.com on November 4. Check the chat.

Here’s what Fredu and Risto had to say about their project. Sounds like it could be one to bookmark for sure…

Yellowsnowboarding.com for us is about bringing back the good old times we had before the industry lead us to different directions in the sport.

A few years ago we did everything together and we were able to push each other all the time in snowboarding and in every day life. It felt weird not to be able to film and spend as much time with your best friend anymore.

We came up with an idea of putting up our own blog site so we could do more stuff together and stay in touch all the time. The idea of the site is to keep posting all the time, several times a week, where ever we are and whatever we are doing.

We’ll bring loads of edits, photos and stories about our seasons for you & your mother to view. Contests around the year with sick little giveaways are going to be a part of our blogging.

We will also have a launching competition with banging prizes for the winner! So don’t forget to check out our site yellowsnowboarding.com on the launch day November 4th!

Stepchild: Child Support – Full Movie

Uli Köhler — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 11:33:55 +0000

Come join us on a walk down memory lane. We just found StepChild’s and Nomis’ team video from 2007 on Vimeo. How cool is that? Child Support was created by Sean Johnson, who brought you other classics like the Whiskey series, Video Gangs and Promo Copy. This video is still amazing by today’s standards – you’ll see footage from 1985 of freestyle legend Terry Kidwell, insane Whistler pillow lines, and a two-year part from Simon Chamberlain. Or as Sean put it, ” Every StepChild rider lost their girlfriend while filming for this movie.” And furthermore, “The movie almost killed everyone involved.” Convinced?

FEATURED RIDERS: Simon Chamberlain, Joe Sexton, Terry Kidwell, Stian Solberg, Fredu Sirvio, Chris Wimbles, Mark Sollors, Markku Koski, Scotty Vine, Risto Ruokola, Eddie Wall, Tom Burt, Jonaven Moore, Antti Autti, Shin Campos, Knut Eliassen.
