Peep 3 mins 14 secs of the Deeluxe team getting wicked. Sick riding from Marco Feichtner, TJ Schneider, Dan Brisse, Xavier De Le Rue, and more.

Some of this you may have seen, some of this you may not have, but if Deeluxe wanted us to watch this and think “Darn, the Deeluxe team rips,” then they can sleep safe in the knowledge that they have suceeded admirably.

This is what they say, and they deserve extra kudos for using the term ‘safety meetings’. These are very important.

One year of developments and innovations, travels, safety meetings, kickers, rails, gnarly lines and most important a lot of fun!
Marco Feichtner, Dan Brisse, Xavier de Le Rue, Elias Elhardt, TJ Schneider, Aline Bock, René Schnöller, Sebi Müller, Tadej Valentan.

Here is the 2011 Deeluxe Team clip.

The Canadian snowboard movie crew Alterna Films just dropped the teaser for their upcoming new flick 13 O’Clock, and we waste no time by posting it straight away. 

Featured shreds: Tadej Valentan, Chris Rasman, JF Fortin, Vera Janssen, Jesmond Dubeau, Craig Beaulieu and friends.

It all started when Rene Strgar (snowboard rider) and Anže Suša (snowboard rider) opened the 5-0 Store last year and subsequently the 5-O Team was born. By that time there had been only one snowboarding movie produced in Slovenia in which both of them had a part. With a few friends Aleš Kegl, Andraž Kadunc, Blaž Vizjak, Jernej Zver, Niko Poljanšek and Peter Perunovič they started shooting. For starters it was just for fun. They produced short clips and little trick tips that should help with the progression of Slovenian freestyle sports like snowboard, skate and BMX. After that there came little reports and soon they found themselves filming for their first big project “Shut Up!“.

With video they just want to give the people a sneak peak into what they were doing this winter and how a couple of guys are living thier everyday life toghether or seperate… How they have fun and how they spend their time togheter. The idea behind the movie and the team started small and basically they tought that this is where the idea is going to stuck, but the future brought something else.

Riders: Anže Suša, Rene Strgar, Žiga Erlač, Mitja Kodrič, Matej Pavlič, Peter Štrafela & friends (Tadej Valentan, Domen Bizjak, Marko Grilc, Tim Kevin Ravnjak)

And if you already have a cool job or don’t know exactly why riding a QParks park is good fun we posted a nice edit of Slovenian rider Tadej Valentan shredding the Dachstein park at the end of this page. This will help brush up your knowledge…

Are you searching for the perfect winter job? Then go ahead and apply at QParks. We are searching for motivated shapers for some of the best freestyle terrain parks in Europe.

For the upcoming season, QParks is taking skilled forces who help maintaining and constructing our snow parks. You will learn the craft of shaping from its basics. You will get insights into the work of our park designers and head shapers and if you can impress us with your work and your style, maybe next year you can be teamleader at a QPark!

As a shaper you get accommodation, a season ticket and are partly employed at adequate payment. The workload consists of around 10 to 13 hours a week. Much of the work will be outside the normal operating hours of the lifts so you have enough time left to run riot in the park or the ski resort. If you are a motivated shredder and you want to spend the rest of the season in the beautiful QParks resorts don’t waste time and send your written application to jobs@qparks.com.

The application should consist of: name, age, snowboard or ski, eventually experience as a shaper, telephone number and your opinion why exactly you are perfect for the job. Creativity is welcomed but time is limited!

Let’s start the season … see you on the mountain!

The QParks-team

On your scene platform www.qparks.com you get closer insights in the world of QParks.

The Horsefeathers crew were denied on Iran, so their crew hit up the urban terrain way closer to home. Check out this sick jibbing from Tadej Valentan, Killian Wiget, Ville Uotila, Darek Bergmann and Tomas Tuzar as they cruise spots in the Czech Republic.

“‘Shit happens’ could also be the title of this obscure mission into the depths of Iran. Well, almost. As the plans to visit this country which very few associate with snowboarding were coming to the final stage, all involved were more and more excited. And then half of the crew did not get visa. Shit.

Riders ready, video crew ready, photographer ready. After brainstorming through numerous alternative plans a consensus was reached: lets explore unridden and overlooked parts of the Czech Republic, a country where snowboarding is strong and parks can be found even in the smallest resorts still hides many options which many would not even consider rideable, droppable, jibable, grindable, or whatever else. Initially, as the snow cover cumulated and heaps of powder covered the whole country a grand plan with road gaps, castle drops and freeride shots was put into place. And then the rain came. Shit.

Everyone lined up: Tadej Valentan from Slovenia, Killian Wiget from Switzerland, Ville Uotila from Finland, Darek Bergmann and Tomas Tuzar from Czech Republic plus David our photographer and Vit with Peterson with all the video gear. An alternate plan was produced and a new mission was out there – to ride what no one has ridden before even if all the powder has turned into a sucky, heavy blanket. Not an impossible feat, but definitely a project needing a lot of effort and energy on all sides. The crew started their search for unique spots in a mountainous region called Ore Mountains sitting on the border of Czech Republic and Germany. Numerous spots were found and hit including old uranium factory, a historical lime kiln and a wind power plant. After several days of discovering the unlikely the course was set east towards the biggest Czech resort called Spindleruv Mlyn. There the exploration of stairs, balconies and other mountain city landmarks continued.”
