A bunch of Dakine’s band of shredders made their annual pilgrimage Mt Baker for the Legendary  Banked Slalom and they made a rad edit from their time there. If you don’t know what the LBS is, this will show you why each year dudes all the way from Johnnie Paxson and Curtis Ciszek to Jamie Lynn and Terje Haakonsen make a beeline for Baker. If you know what the LBS is, you’ll want to go there even more after checking this.

Make sure you tune in from 18.00 CET to see snowboarding legends like Terje Haakonsen, Gigi Rüf, David Benedek, Jamie Lynn, Stefan Gimpl and more throw down in the burn Style Session alongside pretty much all of today’s kicker bosses. Gonna be BANGING.

Watch it live HERE.

More than 50 international riders have travelled to Innsbruck and the city will be once again the snowboarding hotspot of the season. A total of 11 X-Games winners are on their way to this year’s Billabong Air & Style in Innsbruck. Next to the Style king and the winner of the Billabong Air & Style this year’s World Snowboard Tour Big Air champion will also be crowned in Innsbruck. It’s the last 6star Big Air event of the ongoing season and a total of 12 riders could take home the Big Air crown.

The event will kick off on Friday, February 1st 2013, with a magnificent show and meet-up of four generations of snowboarders. The current top-ranking riders, among them Piiroinen, Smits, Toutant, Kadono, McMorris and Weißenbacher, will need to pull out all the stops in the jam session to have any chance of stealing the show from the sports legends, participating in the burn Style Session. All-time heroes like Haakonsen, Lynn, Iguchi, Benedek, Basich, Gimpl and Rüf, throwing down for the cream of the snowboarding public. The live stage, meanwhile, will feature rapper Left Boy and, for the second time since 2004, Die Fantastischen Vier.

On Saturday, February 2nd 2013, all eyes will be on the riders in the 6Star World Snowboard Tour Contest when the world elite battle it out for the title, the Ring of Glory, 1,000 World Snowboard Tour points and a total of 75,000 euros in prize money. The field has been bumped up from 16 to 24 riders to do justice to the larger numbers at the pinnacle of the sport. Last year’s winner Peetu Piroiinen, Air & Style Beijing winner Yuki Kadono, third-placed in Beijing Ståle Sandbech and co- favorites Sebastien Toutant and Mark McMorris will attempt to pull off the first Triple Corks on the demanding megakicker setup in Bergisel Stadium. Ethan Morgan will be flying the German flag, while Matthias Weißenbacher and Clemens Schattschneider will stand tall on their native snow for Austria. German Indie rappers Kraftklub and the current best American white rapper Mac Miller will provide the musical backing to match.

Weather forecast promises way warmer temperatures than last year to guarantee best riding conditions with a soft landing and perfect surroundings for all our fans. We are looking forward to celebrate this once in a lifetime episode of the Billabong Air & Style with 2 days, 4 Bands and more then 50 riders with you!

If you believe our photo editor, snowboard photographers are the hardest-working people in the world. Ukrainian coal miners come in a close second. This episode of Jeremy Jones’ Further Umplugged reveals what photogs and cameramen do to get that perfect shot.

In episode 13 of Jeremy Jones’ Further Unplugged, the Teton Gravity Research camera crew reveals how far they go beyond their comfort zones to film TGR movies. Different challenges emerge every day that force them to truly push their limits. Watch as these guys take you behind the scenes and show you the extreme risks they take in order to capture the perfect shot.

Further Unplugged takes you behind the scenes of Jeremy Jones’ two-year snowboarding film, Further. Get an inside glimpse of what goes on between the lines as Jones and other top riders including Terje Haakonsen, Xavier De Le Rue and Josh Dirksen travel to exotic locations such as Japan, the Arctic Circle and the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. Challenges arise around every corner as this crew attempts to push their minds and bodies further.

Re-live the times when snowboarding was actually cool by watching this gem from 1993. The rider list is like a who’s who of shred legends, with Terje, Mike Ranquet, Jamie Lynn, Bryan Iguch, John Cardiel and more tearing shit up. Hell of a find, Powder & Rails dudes.

Here’s the spiel from Vice’s Powder and Rails guys, who you should definitely bookmark if you like a bit of vintage legendary shred.

In 1993 Dave Seoane followed a group of snowboarders up and down the West Coast and the Mid West as they leave their limousines only to shred the mountains along the way.

Roadkill was the first video Dave Seoane directed way back in 1993. It was a huge departure from the previous FLF videos: there was no narration and no filler; it was all riding and lifestyle. It was also back when everyone listened to Epitaph Records bands, so there’s a lot of those on soundtrack. The crew all ride around in a limousine, between breakdowns, up and down the West Coast and Mid West, shredding at different mountains along the way.

There are a billion highlights: Jamie Lynn traveling with Circe Wallace from Washington to Tahoe to shoot what would become his signature frontside 3′s, Steve Graham going bigger than everyone, Shaun Palmer sporting a clown hair-do doing an enormous backside 3 off of the Donner cliffs, John Cardiel wildly ripping both snowboard and skateboard, just to name a few. Actually, Cards does some of the best looking air to fakie’s of all time in this thing, all on a mini ramp surrounded by snow in the woods. Future legends of style Jeff Brushie, Brian Thien, and Bryan Iguchi also show up, ripping everything Big Bear had to offer—from rails to jumps to pipe. If you love the early 90′s skate style vibe of big Blind jeans and fast music you’ll love Roadkill.

Burton released a method-only clip, and it features them all: Their current heavy hitters like Jackson, Piiroinen, Clark as well as legends such as Jeff Brushie or Craig Kelly!

Suitcase, Grasser, Northwest or Euro; there are many ways to do a method and everyone adds their own flavor to it. Many riders would trade in the ability to flip and spin for a solid method because nothing is more stylish when done well. Here are a few examples from Stephan Maurer, John Jackson, Peetu Piiroinen, Terje Haakonsen, Christian Haller, Shaun White, Kelly Clark and even some throwback methods from Jeff Brushie and Craig Kelly. Stretch the back out and watch as everyone puts their own spin to this timeless trick.

Peep the teaser for Blauvelt’s new 2-year project that’s set to drop in 2013. With an all-star cast backing up Jake’s mercurial shred chops, this is gonna be one for the ages.

Hold up, hold up. Things are about to get nasty. Jake Blauvelt is mid-way through shooting a two-year project that’ll feature Blauvelt’s own mindbending natural terrain freestyle, plus the unquestionable talent of buddies like Terje, John and Eric Jackson, Kazu Kokubo and more. All shot in crystal clear RED and Cineflex, this is gonna make your lid flip. Tasty.

Turns out we were wrong – there won’t be 13 different teasers for Burton’s new movie 13 but only five. Hence this is the last one featuring Terje Haakonsen and John Jackson.

Turning is one of the most basic moves on a snowboard, but also the most important. Being a good turner is harder than it would seem and Terje Haakonsen is a real good turner. In the fifth trailer for 13, John Jackson talks about what it’s like for him to share a part with Terje and Terje talks about why he likes freeriding and landing forward so much.

13 drops next Monday, September 17th on iTunes, DVD and Blu-Ray. Head to burton.com/13movie for tour dates and information.

For the last two winters, Jeremy and the crew at Teton Gravity Research have been working hard on producing their follow up to the acclaimed Deeper so, without further ado, here’s the first proper look at Further. It’s dramatic.

You’ll have seen glimpses of what they’ve been cooking up in the Further Unplugged webisodes and this looks like it’ll be following a similar M.O. but taking it, ahem, further. Deeper was certainly an engrossing experience and we’ve got a feeling Further is gonna be equally epic. Stay tuned for premiere tour info and more.

Here’s how TGR break it down: “Further will explore some of the world’s most remote mountain terrain while continuing Jones’ mission to camp deep in the backcountry and on the summits of unridden lines to access nearly vertical spines and wide-open powder fields. Join Jeremy and his crew as they push their minds and bodies Further.”

Locations: Japanese Alps / Atomfjella Mountains, Norway / Karwendell Range, Austria / Wrangell Mountains, Alaska / Sierra Mountains, California

Starring: Jeremy Jones, Terje Haakonsen, Ryland Bell, Lucas Debari, Forrest Shearer, Josh Dirksen, Mitch Toelderer, Bibi Pekarek

After all those years, Terje Haakonsen still manages to get some mad lines dialled. As you can see in his full part from Burton’s latest team movie “Standing Sideways”. What an epic guy.

This is a compilation of some POV moments at the Red Bull Supernatural competition at Baldface/BC featuring Gigi Rüf, John Jackson, Terje Haakonsen, Mark McMorris, Mark Landvik and Travis Rice. Filmed entirely on Contour cameras. But what’s really astonishing is the last Shazam-bit. It blew us out of our muddy European water!
