6 minutes of epic park-based snow porn from Halldor Helgason, Ulrik Badertscher, Ethan Morgan and friends. Do yourself a favour and watch this.

Although, of course, they spell it ‘Keystone: The Moive’ as they clearly spent more time shredding than learning how to spell. Literacy issues aside, we reckon this rivals the RK1 boys’ park slaying webisode we dropped a while back (watch it here – it’s AWESOME) in the holy-darn-shit-hot-snowpark-shredits stakes. What do you reckon?

If you needed more proof that the Scandis – specifically the Norwegians – are owning park snowboarding these days, then be sure to check out this edit from the RK1 crew as they put the beatdown on Keystone and Breckenridge. Humbling skills and a bang bus of an edit from bossman Olav Stubberud, this even features a cameo from Steve-O of all people and some of the best knuckle tricks you’ll ever see. Check it…

1. Ulrik Badertscher in Shred Bots Do the Dew Tour

Ulrik Badertscher lays down a fricking 1620 and makes it look like a 1260. Amazing.

2. Scott Stevens in Videograss at Bear Mountain

Scotty Stevens is always good for some dazzling snowboard move. Here he is again with some one-footed jib madness. It is as much joy to watch as is every single clip he appears in.

3. Nicolas Müller in his Nixon Welcome Video

While most brands’ welcome videos are pure boredom things change when it is about Nicolas Müller, the most beloved snowboarder on this side of our galaxy. And when you’re done admiring a classic powder turn we recommend checking out his full part from the latest Absinthe snowboard movie Resonance.

If you ever wondered what video game snowboarding looks like in real life, watch this. Mark McMorris, Ståle Sandbech and Ulrik Badertscher make short work of back triple 14s, regular 14s and backside 1620s. Re. Tarded.

The burn dudes are back at it with another conceptual piece of shredit. Following on from last year’s Human/Machines they continue exploring snowboarding’s opposites by taking a look at backcountry and contest riding.

Picking up from where burn’s Human/Machines ends, POWDER & GLORY explores the two opposite poles of snowboarding—backcountry and contests—and is seen through the eyes of six burn riders at the height of their careers.

Riders: Gigi Rüf, Mathieu Crepel, Arthur Longo, Stale Sandbech, Werni Stock and Ulrik Badertscher.

Filmed and directed by Mike Hatchett and Travis Robb along with Brad Holmes, Logan Knutzen and Jeff Wright for Standard Films.

Check out the burn boys throwing blacked out hits in the Landgraaf snowdome.

burn don’t like to just knock together montages of their team throwing the hams. No, they’re more concentrated on realising a concept to promote their energy-laced fizzy pop – we’ve had ‘Alive‘ (where their poor riders were set on fire), ‘Human/Machines‘, and now ‘Black Snow’. For this, they flew in burn boys Gigi Rüf, Ståle Sandbech, Ulrik Badertscher and Gulli Gudmundsson, drove them to Holland’s SnowWorld Landgraaf, turned out the lights, and let them get all disco.

Since Norway is like the European New Zealand anyhow, the Norwegian snowboard team takes to the NZ parks like a fish to water! And don’t forget: There are only about 5 million Norwegians, compared to 315 million US-Americans…

If we spotted them correctly, you are going to watch Stale Sandbech, Gjermund Braten, Roger Kleivdal, Ulrik Badertscher, Torgeir Bergrem, Fredrik Austbo, Emil Ulsletten, Helene Olafsen, Simen Neraker, and Aleks Oestreng.

Winning!

Finnish wild boy Roope Tonteri put down a Cab 12, back 9 and boardslide 270 out to take out Ulrik Badertscher and scoop the 2012 edition of the Burn River Jump in Livigno. 

In an exciting and thrilling super-final 19 year old Finnish rider Roope Tonteri was bestowed with the prestigious title, $15,000 and 800 points for the TTR Overall World ranking. Canadian Mark McMorris took the BURN JIB MASTER title and earned $3,000 for his Switch Hardway 270 on 270 out on the down-rail.

Thousands of spectators descended on the course setup near Livigno’s town centre to check the action, and the setup at the Mottolino Fun Mountain Area was in a perfect shape for creative snowboard action. 16 riders made up of guys who’d qualified, bagged a wildcard or were invited threw down hard all night long with an array of heavy trickery.

The judging was divided in two parts: 50% for the action on the main kicker (measures: 20 m, 3,5 m, 60 m), and 50 % for the jump over the river Spoel and the jibbing playground in the finish area that gave riders five different options.

The best four riders passed into the super-finals, based on the k.o. system– Roope Tonteri against Mark McMorris and Staale Sandbech against Ulrik Badertscher. Four world-class freestylers, all who had a good chance of winning. But this night Roope and Ulrik advanced to the final round matching for the victory. Roope Tonteri showed a huge Cab 1260 followed by a Backside 900 over the River “Spoel” finishing with a Boardslide 270 out. That was a hard act to follow for Ulrik, who started with a Backside 1080, a double Backside Rodeo 900 and ended up his run with a cab 270 hardway. 91.33 to 90.33 points in favour of the Finnish was the message of the four judges. Right after the decision smiling Roope Tonteri had this to say: “My heart is beating so fast. I am happy to be here. I feel really good at the River Jump. This morning I had a sauna and then I came to the contest. But I didn’t expect this victory. Ulrik’s run was so strong.” The podium was completed by the 2012 Double X-Games Winner Mark McMorris, who additionally to the third place in the big air competition won the BURN JIB MASTER part.

BURN JIB MASTER 2012: Mark McMorris/CAN, trick: Switch Hardway 270 on 270 out

The 2011-2012 Tour finale is drawing nearer, Stale Sandbech is currently leading the TTR Overall Ranking. Jan Scherrer made his way into the top five today, improving from the 7th to 4th position. Mark McMorris dropped one spot, even though he made it to the final and came in third, he was not able to beat his own best Big Air results for the 2011-2012 season. Today’s results will count towards the Big Air rankings for the 2012-2013 season, with the Big Air Tour Champion Seppe Smits crowned at the last 6Star event of 2011-2012, the Billabong Air&Style in Innsbruck.
