What's up NS! I'm in Verbier with the majority of the Faction Team who are here filming for Season 3 Episode 3 of We Are The Faction Collective, the Final Episode! You can follow the action from tomorrow morning on Snapchat and upcoming news exclusively on NS.

We also figured when is there a better chance for you guys to find out more about any of the riders than when they are all in one place. So over the next few days the stacked crew out here will be checking in to this thread to answer your questions.

The riders currently around are:

Tom Granier, Arnaud Rougier, Adam Delorme, Tim McChesney, Duncan Adams, Will Berman, Cody Cirillo, Antti Ollila, Dan Hanka, Alex Hall, Giulia Tanno, Laurent Gauthier, Sam Anthamatten, Etienne Merel + the Faction Staff

So, any questions you have for any of these guys, we'll try to get them answered. I have (of course) been drinking, so this might not be 100% coherent but let's make it an epic Q+A session. Fire away!

Will AD be able to beat his legendary ~120ft straight air from last year?

Why is this the last episode? Will there be future team edits in a different style next year or what?
 
Who usually guinea pigs the shit you guys hit in these videos? Is anyone a bit more ballsy about sending it and trying new or sketchy tricks?

What is Adams favorite sex position? for uh reasons
 
Where is Candide??

Stop wasting money on other riders and just make a movie about Candide and Adam Delorme. together in one super edit like the old Rastafaride movies. You will get 10 billion more views than any other edit.. and I shall die happy.

Does the purchase of Faction skis finally unlock the double back ability for me?

Absolutely. I even think you can't do a double backflip if you don't have Faction skis. - Arnaud Rougier
 
Antti - with Faction stepping up and backing you now (well deserved), what have been some goals you've been able to achieve this season?

Guinea is whoever's feeling it. It depends on the feature, and whoever's up for it. You can usually get a mutual feeling on who feels good. But if I had to say it I'd probably say Arnaud. Or Duncan. I think Adam can answer that second part. - Will
 
When will you make a team version of one of those days, Adam delorme in a one of those days edit would be sick
 
Already asked but I'm wondering too. Where is Smelly socks Dan?

Also stoked that AHall and Cody are out there Killin it

whats going on with smelly socks?

I actually broked my arm during preseason, got healed up, and had to do some comps with the national team and the Faction webisode shooting. But do'nt worry, there will be a new Smelly Socks pretty soon!! - Dan
 
Can you just follow around cheddar and berman and keep a tally of how many alcoholic drinks they consume over the week?

Great many thanks, that question solved, I have another, how much street cred will I get for ridding Faction's from time immemorial? In essence will they get me laid?

That would pretty sick - Adam

That would be really sick. With fondue? - Dan

Why is there only like two shots of Adam Delorme per edit?
Click to expand...

I'll answer this one for them:

Who the hell can keep up with him to film him for more than 2 shots? I suppose Faction would have to outfit Candide with a glidecam setup to do so.

We feel like it's time to evolve and come up with something new.

It's been 3 amazing seasons putting together these episodes and webseries, we had so much fun doing this and couldn't be happier with the reactions from our community and general public.

In regards with what to come next...what you guys would like to see from us?

I'm thinking a HHUUUUGGEEEE! game of slvsh between all your international riders. Anti vs Tom vs Candide vs Simon vs Adam.

Pick numbers between one and five then roll a dice and who evers number shows up first goes first, then second roll, second person, etc,etc.

But instead of playing to SLVSH, play til FACTION. My mind is imploding just thinking about it.

Or since Simon spends most of his time in Whistler, you could play like Tim vs Will vs Alex vs Cody. Or any combination really.

I may have an idea that would work out better in the end, Inspired by the Ryder Cup (golf tourney)

Game of SLVSH or FACTION and do international versus America.

Set up riders and whatever country gets to 5 wins first isthe winner (so int. Or America would be the winner)

if you only got one week more of skiing for your whole life, what resort would you ski?
Click to expand...

Probably Vallnord, Andorra. If I can pick a time, I'll say March.

- Tom

Revelstoke, BC. Never been there but sounds all time.

- Alex

Ruka of course! No doubt, it's the best!

- Antti

How does Alex Hall do those eff'd up rail tricks so easily?
Click to expand...

I do back stretches so I can twist my body a lot. Or tall body, long legs. I don't know.

Loads of ice cream too.

- Alex

He eats like an elephant.

- Daniel
