This Saturday October 14th in Montreal will be the first edition of ALL URBAN ALL BANGERS, a street skiing video premiere. The event will take place at Blue Dog bar, on 3958 blvd St-Laurent. The doors will open at 9PM, and the videos will start at 9:30, as we have a packed night ahead of us...
Q: When did you first start hitting street rails? Do you remember the first rail you hit?
I started hitting rails when I was about 14 years old. At the time, I was living in Montreal and it wasn’t on skis. My very first handrail was done on a skateboard. Probably the most scared I ever was...
There's a new ski podcast, and it's really good. With The Mayrand Podcast, Xavier Mayrand, a filmmaker who's made some of the best amateur ski films out of Quebec in the 2010s, sits down with pro skiers and industry people to talk about "skiing, life and everything in between". If you're a real...

Rail skiing is my favorite aspect of park skiing. Rails might be scary at first, but once you get past the fear of sliding a rail and you start getting comfortable, you can really start progressing without necessarily having to "send it" like you do on jumps.
So once you've started to get a...

There hasn't been a new Line Traveling Circus episode since January. And usually by this time of the year a new season has started. But don't worry, they have three mini movies ready to be released, which I can't wait to watch, as I'm one of those who stops doing whatever he's doing when a new...

If you're around my age (20 or so) and heavily into park skiing, there's a big chance that Tom Wallisch was your favorite skier growing up, and still is. If not, he's right up there. If you follow him on social media, you may have noticed that he's been posting quite a few throwback clips on...

In 2012 they had the funnest setup, with a bunch of creative rails and even an Airbag on the last day!

FilmerUnknown Winner Danny climbed about 40 feet up a lift tower to get the shot. "It's a bit shaky because I'm shaking!" he shouted down.
With rain in the forecast for the next two days, day 5 of Level 1's Superunknown finals was likely the last big day of shooting the...

The crew heads up to Carinthia.
We're now halfway through Level 1's Superunknown XII Finals, and it's fair to say that yesterday was the most productive day so far. The project for the day was a step up with a big tube set up sideways as a tap, followed by a step down...

One of the coolest parts of Superunknown is the fact that not only do the athletes come here to shred these features like their career depended on it, they come here to create the very features that they are going to be...
Park edits are by far the most common type of video content you'll find on Newschoolers, due to the fact that it's more accessible than ever to pick up a camera and go film with your friends at your local mountain's terrain park. Even though it seems pretty simple, it's much more difficult to...
Good Company "One" premiered last night on ESPN2, but living in Canada I didn't had the chance to witness urban skiing for the first time on national TV. After finding a couple of streaming links where Tom Wallisch was commenting drag racing (some of you will understand), I had no other choice...
I consume a lot of ski content on a daily basis, and I quickly forget what I've watched a couple of days earlier, due to the absurd amount of skiing that gets uploaded to the Internet every day. That's why I decided to compile my favorite videos from the past week and share them with you guys...
