Admittedly, the original title of this video was “Sticks and Stones”, but “Girls Falling Over” seems so much more appropriate. In their latest and penultimate PS webisode, Hana Beaman, Robin van Gyn, Leanne Pelosi, Taylor Elliott, Taylor Godber, Vera Janssen, Claudia Avon, Annie Boulanger, Erin Comstock, and Gabi Viteri ate a lot of shit over the past season.

Nikita are stoked to officially announce that Lisa Filzmoser and Vera Janssen, both existing killer streetwear and outerwear team riders, are now charging the mountains with Nikita Snowboards afoot.

The girls are pumped to be deepening the relationship with Nikita and riding the new FW13-14 selection. Innsbruck-based fearless freestyler Lisa is headed to Alaska armed and ready to shoot with the creative True Color Films crew whilst also getting ‘Boobilicious’ with the Lipstick Productions ladies filming for the release of their third all-girls movie later this year. “I am so happy to ride Nikita Snowboards,” Lisa says, “as Nikita and I have such a long relationship. It’s great that they are now doing snowboards too. My choice is the Sideway Sista; it is the optimal board I can use for backcountry riding and also park. It is light and really good quality. Love it! Looking forward to going out and shooting with this snowboard.”

Pro-Mum Vera is back in Canada, wallowing in the epic conditions of Whistler’s backcountry. She’s testing out her super sled alongside the new snowboards and continuing to film the insightful ‘Vera’s Shredventures’ episodes released with Mahfia.tv and sequences for Lipstick’s ‘Boobilicious’. “I’m super stoked on the Nikita Snowboards. After snowboarding passionately for 22 years, I definitely wouldn’t ride anything but a great quality board and Nikita Snowboards have me convinced! The first week I got the board, I took it to some extreme conditions; from straight-lining Whistler/Blackcomb’s legendary Dave Murray Downhill in icy conditions, topping 100km/h in many of its turns, to ripping nearly 1000m vertical lines and chutes in the far-away backcountry of Bralorne, BC, to hitting powder pillows and jumps – the Nikita Expression 154 is my new weapon of choice!”

And from the Nikita camp, Iceland legend and Marketing Director Geiri states “We are uber happy to have awesome and talented human beings Lisa and Vera riding our snowboards. They have been a part of the Nikita family for some time now and having them riding and testing our snowboards is a very natural progression to our relationship.”

Lipstick Productions dropped their first all-girl, all-Euro shred flick last season, and now they’re back with a bang with their follow up, EUROTIC. Check the teaser.

Last season’s movie, 5 More Minutes, Please?!, was a decent first stab at dropping a girls’ Euro snowboard movie, but with their second film, dubbed EUROTIC, it looks like they’re gonna knock the ball out the park.

Most of Europe’s noteworthy ladyshreds are part of this project, and with the epic season Europe enjoyed plus trips to further flung places like Iceland and the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia the movie promises to be a good ‘un.

Starring: Basa Stevulova, Diana Sadlowski, Julia Baumgartner, Lisa Fizmoser, Ana Rumiha, Urska Pribosic, Conny Bleicher, Suray Fernandez, Ursina Haller, Sina Candrian, Aline Bock, Vera Janssen, Margot Rozies, Tini Gruber, Aimee Fuller, Tania Detomas & friends!

We had a fireside chat with Lipstick Productions’ Conny Bleicher the other day about what went down and what we could expect. Have a gander at that for the backstory and then peep the full shebang right here.

So distracted were we by all the talk of anally bleaching (don’t ask) that we forgot to ask about the story behind the rather cryptic name of the movie. Wonder no more as we hit up Conny again who dispelled our altogether seedier theory. Kinda… “The name already came up when we were looking for a production name. It’s basically that women always need 5 more minutes. They need 5 more minutes in the bathroom, they like to turn around in the morning and sleep 5 more minutes. Same in snowboarding; it takes them 5 more minutes to jump a big booter, to shovel a kicker… We are just a bit lazy and we enjoy being lazy and not stressful! Don’t take everything too serious!”

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.

Bluebird Skies, Pillows of Powder and Massive Airs Over Natural Obstacles Mark this Historic Day in Snowboarding.

Tailgate Alaska officials announced that Travis Rice and Vera Janssen are the winners of the Recco King of the Hill competition, held for the first time since 1999 outside Valdez, Alaska. The competition, staged in the legendary Chugach range, enjoyed bluebird skies and pristine pow in the Bro Bowl at Thompson Pass. Hundreds of spectators cheered each rider as they dropped from the top of the mountain into a field of soft, untracked snow and launched impossible airs over treacherous exposure.

Rice was ecstatic after being announced the winner. He earned the King of the Hill Sword, heli time from local operators including Alaska Backcountry Adventures, Alaska Rendezvous Guides, Valdez Heli Ski Camps and Valdez Heli Guides, as well as the unqualified respect of his peers. Travis donated a portion of his proceeds to the community in the ballistic afterparty held Sunday night at Valdez’s Land Shark bar.

”Conditions were all time and the venue was spot on for a long overdue AK shred contest,” said Rice. “Everyone there threw down – it was a great day for snowboarding.” Epic it was. The one-day event not only enjoyed perfect weather and snow, but also participation by some of the world’s most renowned freeriders – past and present.

Mike Basich.

“This event brought together riders from many generations, from legends like Farmer and Basich, to top pros like Rice and Landvik to next generation riders like Scotty Lago and Aaron Robinson,” said Mark Sullivan, event organizer.

“It has been snowboarding legend Nick Perata’s goal to bring back the legendary King of the Hill competition,” added Sullivan.  “It was incrediblly rewarding to help him bring the event to fruition.”

The Recco King of the Hill was held over a seven-day “holding period” to ensure optimal conditions, although the competition was held on the first day on the event schedule. Riders faced off on the legendary Bro Bowl hill for a 3 run battle challenging a riders strength, technical line ability and freestyle skills.

The Recco King of the Hill is made possible by a network of partners: Recco, Valdez Alaska, GoPro, The North Face, Ski Doo, Alaskan Brewing, Flow Snowboards, and many contributions from the local Alaskan community.
