Big Air Snowmobile
Snowmobile helmet camera footage shot by the talented riders featured in Sledporn II by Yukon Powder Hounds. Plenty of deep powder and big air riding. Very well done.
Snow kiting
Snow Kiting is the latest winter sport. Large highly controllable foil kites are used to blast kite pilots along with just the power of the wind! The ‘Big air’ jumps that boarders and skiers are pulling under the power and security of power kites are simply breath taking.
Snow Kiting is a lot easier to learn than kiteboarding on the water!
-It is easy to stand on snow, which makes the whole process easier!
-It also takes a lot less wind to drive a board across snow than it does across water.
-The whole learning experience is lot less daunting as you need much less power…
Red Bull Snowthrill Monterosa
In the Italian Alps, Argentine freerider Oscar Sosa showed the direction in which freeride skiing is to develop: his style earned him victory at the 11th edition of Red Bull Snowthrill.
In order to win the world’s most important freeride contest this year, you needed more than exceptional risk-affinity and skiing perfection. Argentinia’s Oscar Sosa, only seventh place at the end of the first day, came from behind over the next two days to take victory among 15 of the world’s best freeriders and five selected rookies. His success was due first and foremost to the unique style he celebrated on days two and three. “My colleagues valued clean…
Speed skiing
Speed skiing is the sport of skiing downhill in a straight line as fast as possible. It is the second fastest non-motorized sport on earth. The current world record is 156 mph (251.4 km/h). Speed skiers regularly exceed 125 mph (200 km/h), which is even faster than terminal velocity, the equilibrium speed of a body free-falling through the atmosphere. The terminal velocity of a skydiver in a normal free-fall position with a closed parachute is about 120 mph (193 km/h). (The fastest non-motorized sport is speed skydiving, in which divers reach speeds of over 300 mph.)
Speed skiers wear dense foam…

North Legion SMX
The patented product called North Legion SMX, is a natural winter alternative for mountain bikers, BMX and motocross riders in the same way as the snowboard is a winter alternative for skateboarders and surfers. After just a few hours of training, freeriders and dirt jumpers can pull of the same sort of stunning tricks that they nail on their bikes.
“The SMX is a real cool thing”, says Norwegian freeride star Trond Hansen, who already tested the
prototypes. “It is pretty much like riding a motocross or mountain bike on snow, but way more stable. The whole secret behind it is the carving,…
