Rails 2 Riches just shut down for another year. A massive crowd turned out for the event at Killington, "way crazier than last year" according to Chubz, our man in the crowd. The riders, both guys and girls, were of course throwing down. There were some big names...

Karl-Kristian Muggerud has flown way below the radar for too long now. You might have heard of him in passing, he had a short lived appreciation thread right here on NS, but the chances are you're either Norwegian or you haven't. The video above is...

Want to win big money but hate the experience of actually competing? Can't afford to register for comps these days? Following the success of its inaugural season in 2015, The North Face Park and Pipe Open Series Virtual Competition (PPOS) has opened registration for 2015-2016 season. In...
In ‘freeskiing’ we don’t have many legends, largely because the sport is young and that sort of thing takes time. Solo projects, especially in semi-documentary form are still a rare thing but two obvious examples stand out: Tanner Hall’s ‘Like A Lion’ and Candide Thovex’s ‘Few Words’. It isn't a...
It's high time more skiers started to get involved in the issues surrounding climate change and our sport. Too often we take our world for granted, confusing the weather we experience day to day with climate and assume it's all fine because it's a pow day. So it's awesome to see Jibworx...

Hopefully you just enjoyed watching what is undeniably a fantastic 20 minute audiovisual spectacle. If not take a look right above these words and focus your seeing holes on the moving images you'll find there. If you've done that and want to find out more, read on!
I asked the mad...

It's easy to forget how good Spencer is because he tends to show up, drop bombs and then disappear off the radar for a while. I touched base with him to find out a bit more about the move and his upcoming season. With any luck a new sponsor means we'll be seeing a...
Everyone has that band or artist who, to them, will always be 'the one' no matter how their tastes change. Sure, new songs, new albums and even new genres will come along and be the flavor of the minute. Others might even become 'your favorite' for a while. But deep down you know there's that...

When I walked out of the IF3 cinema at the end of the last movie screening my opinion was that GPSY Feelin' had got screwed. Zero awards, hell not even a single nomination and yet in my mind Cruise Control should possibly have won film of the year. It certainly...
Newschoolers do gear reviews a little bit differently. We have a dedicated team of members working their way through the best product, taking time to really get to grips with things and then highlighting the stuff they love. We aren't afraid to talk about the negatives either and even on...

Last May I found myself standing in the pouring rain just below the snowline in the Scottish highlands attempting to pitch a tent, which proved to be wholly unsuitable for preventing the weather from freezing my balls off. I was there with the boys behind the movie...

Does a more documentary style project like 'For Lack Of Better', which is as much about the three of you as skiing, make the whole thing feel even more personal?
Fully committing to a documentary piece this year really allowed us to expand upon ideas that we had...

The most recent Nimbus movie 'After The Sky Falls' is a thing of beauty, if you haven't seen it, you should check it out right away here. COORDINATES II is an accompanying piece shot entirely on GoPro4 over the same period that ATSF was filmed, giving you a behind scenes glimpse in to...
In possession of insane rail skills, flawless style and what I have genuinely heard described by a girl in bar as 'a panty dropping smile', Khai Krepela has been turning all kinds of heads for years now. His seemingly effortless skiing sits well alongside a down-to-earth, mellow, hard working...

For me, Swiss Cheese-Socks is the best TC episode in quite some time, containing all the weird wizardry and dorky humour you could hope for. I spoke to Sami Ortlieb to find out a little more about the making of:
When did you guys film this episode?
We filmed in late April. After Will...

Over 20 feet of snowfall? That’s just an average winter for the two million inhabitants of Sapporo, Japan – perhaps the snowiest metropolis on Earth. In SNOWCIETIES Episode 2, AR Family members Phil Casabon, Mike Hornbeck and Kim Boberg explore one of Japan’s biggest...

How is life as a sponsored skier treating you?
Ha that's still weird to me. I love that I have had the opportunity to meet so many new and fantastic humans. The support has definitely provided me opportunities to travel and film I would not have otherwise had. Thanks to Line, Full Tilt...

People tend to think pros as untouchables who can ride it all from backcountry descents to the gnarliest urban. The reality is that most are just normal guys, who are extremely good at skiing the terrain that's on their doorsteps. But those skills don't always...
