The first and only AFP World Tour big air event in Australia is set to take over Thredbo Alpine Resort with some of the world’s best Freeski athletes going head to head from Tuesday, September 8th.
Last year’s champion Elias Ambühl of Switzerland will return to defend his title on the biggest jump built at any Australian ski resort against Australian Olympian Russ Henshaw, who had back to back wins at the event in 2012 and 2013 before taking a break from local competition last year to prepare for his Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic campaign. Ambühl and Henshaw are arguably two of the best big air skiers in the world right now with sights set on gaining an early points lead on the 15/16 AFP season leader board.

However neither will be without opposition from the strongest field of world ranked competitors the Toyota Big Air has seen since it was introduced to the international circuit in 2012. Ten out of the current top fifteen have secured a start including Team GB Olympian James ‘Woodsy’ Woods along with fellow Salomon Team member Oscar Wester and GoPro athlete Jesper Tjäder from Sweden. Last year’s runner up, Canadian Noah Morrison and Swiss wunderkind Jonas Hunziker both return as strong contenders but throw into the mix a slither of Australian’s – crowd favourites Jesse Houghton, Thomas Waddell and Sontimer team rider Ryley Lucas – all with a hometown advantage and this certainly becomes a space to watch.
So what can spectators expect to see? Above the Cruiser chairlift (valid Thredbo lift pass required) at the top of Merritts is an almost incomprehensible pile of snow which, over the next week, will be shaped by the terrain park team into Thredbo’s centrepiece. Since 2009 the jump, regarded by athletes as one of the best and biggest (often in excess of 100ft) on the planet, has played host to Australia’s first competition double cork, then in 2013 the Southern Hemisphere’s first triple cork as well as most recently the infamous “naked crash” that was reported by news outlets all around the world.

Jumping is weather dependant and will conclude on Saturday September 12th with a unique “Game Show” format that will see skiers paired in teams to combine their tricks to complete the allocation amount of rotations in front of an X-Factor style judging panel. “Following the measured success of Sam Ruttiman’s 100ft naked cork 7 last year, we are working hard to mould this elite competition into a melting pot of death stares, peer pressure and mind games among the world’s best big air athletes. It should be a lot of fun for the riders and make for some great spectating…” – Andreas Gloor, Event Director.
For those of you at home who like to play along, the OHW GoPro Challenge launches today. Whether it’s skiing down blue runs, hucking off kickers or having a snowball fight, show us how much fun you have in the snow by submitting a short GoPro clip for the chance to win a trip to Thredbo Alpine Resort and a GoPro HERO4 Silver camera, plus mounts and accessories. Entries are open now on onehitwonderevent.com under the ON THE MOUNTAIN tab until October 5th.
On Saturday night, Melbourne indie pop band Alpine will headline a night of live music in the Thredbo Village Square after the AFP big air presentation to mark the One Hit Wonder Mountain Festival Official after party.

It is a quite unique event when you‘re swimming in the pool and guys on skis are flying doubles right over your head. This is KROM WARS, the original freeski Big Air water-ramp contest in the Czech Republic at the end of the summer.
The contest day, August 29, started up with a bluebird sky as hundreds of stoked people congregated at the outdoor swimming pool in the small city of Hulín to watch invited freeskiers from nine different European countries. The competition started with a qualification jam session on the big air ramp and cannon tube. The kicker had been improved since the last event two years ago. Every rider had 5 jumps to try to get into the final.
The final round was reserved for the best 12 guys, who competed in two head-to-head rounds to determine three riders for the superfinal. Bad luck for the great Austrian riders, they eliminated each other, with only Dennis Ranalter remaining.
It wasn‘t easy to get into the superfinal ,as tricks were not allowed to be repeated, and the level was pretty high:
Dennis Ranalter knocked out his friends and favourites Christian Jenny and Sam Baumgartner. Tomáš Peč gave no chance to German Thomas Trifonitchev and Daniel Hanka. Martin Horák (last winner) beat Matic Lovko and Ondrej Beneš.
The superfinal tricks were original and surprising. The crowd, which consisted of thousands of people, pushed the guys above their limits and the atmosphere was unforgettable thanks to them.
In the superfinal each rider had four tries to show his best. Two best jumps counted.
A big thanks goes to everyone who showed up and helped to make such a perfect end of summer.
On August 15, Blue Tomato hosted the first “Captain’s Quest” skateboard competition in Ramsau, Austria, bringing internationally renowned riders together on a floating mini-ramp for a one-of-a-kind skateboard session. You can read up on the full story here.
A SLVSH Tournament is Underway in AustraliaSince its debut last fall we’ve all grown to love SLVSH, the S.K.A.T.E.-inspired video competition series hatched by veteran competition skiers Matt Walker and Joss Christensen. Throughout their travels, Walker and Christensen have begun filming one-on-one park duels in their own unique format. The games provide a truly entertaining alternate take on terrain-park competition and how to judge riders against each other (If you haven’t watched any of the games yet, you’ve got some catching up to do over on the SLVSH website!).
Now, the creators of SLVSH are on their way to fulfilling a new goal by organizing the first-ever SLVSH Tournament.
On Facebook, SLVSH announced that eight skiers will duke it out in the first SLVSH Cup. Organizing a tournament has always been a focus for the SLVSH creators, who see their game as a viable alternative to increasingly standardized slopestyle competition. The only problem is getting all the riders in the same place for long enough; since it’s difficult to film more than two games per day, a full-blown tournament can a week or longer to complete.
Here are the first-round SLVSH Cup matchups:
Joss Christensen vs. Matt Walker
Chris Laker vs. Jossi Wells
Evan McEachran vs. Russ Henshaw
James Woods vs. Tom Wallisch
“The tournament is currently post first game, but the finals haven’t happened yet,” Walker told us via Facebook. “We have a solid weather window, so I’m excited, hopefully the Aussie meteorologists are right.”
As for details, we’ll have to wait until the videos drop on SLVSH.com, with the first match-up between Walker and Christensen reportedly dropping today.
“We experienced our longest game in the quarters, which beat the previous record by 15 tricks,” said Walker. “I’m very stoked on how it’s going, the park that Perisher has built and, above all, the level of riding in the Cup has been unreal.”
“Also, I need to thank all the homies who helped us film,” he added. After all, filming four games of SLVSH simultaneously requires eight different capable cameramen – no easy task to coordinate!
The Red Bull Linecatcher moves to TignesSome have known the news for a while, but now it’s official with a release on the Tignes website.

A large parking lot surrounds a flat building that holds the Scott branch and other smaller offices. If you know where you’re going, you enter by the back door; if not, you can get lost. The corridor is empty, but a colorful sign “Like That” invites you through a door and into another world. You knock on the door and enter. On the right side, a modern kitchen with a bar; straight ahead, a storage room; on the left, the office itself between boxes, pictures and shelves.
The style is pure, which contrasts with the numbers of items and goodies around, like a giant painting with the High Five Festival colors. A guitar shows off in front of a Rock’n Snowboards visual. No doubt, it’s another world, the world of the Like That agency. Sitting around the low table, Gaylord is talking with coworkers and partners in a relaxed atmosphere, while the open space slowly reveals the invisible workers. At the end of the meeting, they all move outside to check the new Oakley motor toy for the pleasure of those old kids who, as Gaylord admits, “have fun with nothing.”
Mint syrup in our water, dictaphone on the table: it’s on for 15 minutes of talk, passion and metaphors. Gaylord is good at that.

So Gaylord, how is going the preparation one month before High Five?
When we love, we don’t count, so I don’t count my days. I work a lot and didn’t take any holidays. This year, for Like That, it’s the first event of the year, when usually we would already have had Vars Tournament and Kumi Yama, so it’s like Christmas for us. We are super ready and we have plenty of surprises. We are ready earlier because we worked more and we were focused only on this event. We did so many things that we didn’t have the time for before. The magazine is printing right now (an 84-page complete magazine). The teaser is ready so we just have to finalize some stuff. The event will be bigger as well.
Did you stop the other events to focus on High Five?
Kumi Yama was a personal decision. I though that seven was enough, and I preferred to stop, rather than having them stop me. Like a musician, I prefer to announce my last album, rather than not being able to do the next one.
In Vars, the mayor changed, etc. We didn’t’ fight about it; if we only get a third of the money, then we just don’t do a shitty event. Our name is Like That, cause it’s “like that” and not any other way. The advantage with the High Five Festival is that this event is ours.
What’s the news about this year’s High Five?
We will have the Ocamp, a secret spot with 350m2 of wood structure we built ourselves. The ephemeral restaurant will also become a ephemeral bar till 1am with music and beer. So for those who don’t want to go to the club, they can drink beer for three euros instead of 10…
We have a lot of new movies, including some exclusive premieres.
There will be an autographic signing spot with riders there all the time.
For those who have all-access passes, there will get a special package with poster and stickers we made in collaboration with The Bunch, Poor Boyz, etc.
For the first time, we also have 14 pairs of Atomic/High Five skis to give away.
We also took a lot of time making sure that the riders will come. We have a lot of them this year.
Which detail is your favorite?
This year, it’s the surprise pack. I also really like the popcorn.
This surprise is: “Life is a surprise, and High Five could be too.”
Basically, we’ve got a nice surprise in store. We like to make our audience feel like kids again. The suprise pack will be offered to the first 400 people to buy the all-access pass.
How do you prepare for an event like this one?
In your head, it’s like a dream. It’s like when you schedule your holiday: you think about what do to do if the weather is good or bad, you think about everything. I often say that we are like the team in Ocean’s Eleven. We prepare all the possibilities, and the goal is to do the holdup of the century, to do the best event. It’s pondering a lot of questions, and realizing them in reality.
Where would you rate the coming event on a scale from 1-10?
My objective is to get 19 on a scale of 20. I don’t like to rate 1-10.
And how would you rate last year’s event?
Last year was a real challenge because we stopped our collaboration with iF3 in April, when we were already super close to the event. We had to contact film productions and motivate people. When you change your name, a lot of people are afraid, so a lot leave you and you have to accept that people don’t trust you anymore.
However, if you were the captain of the iF3’s boat, you will be the High Five boat captain too, and you built it as well. The goal is to trust and have the same crew.
For me, this year will be the best edition of iF3 and High Five by far.
Let’s talk about the parties.
We love music, so we look forward to providing several different genres. At the bar it will be more minimal, while at the club it will be more techno and hip-hop. There will also be a rock=themed “Bon Appetit” party. We will have great artists including Club Cheval and C2C Style. The opening party will be at the bowl, and the closing party at the Pop.
Your events are growing, but the agency only has two events now. What’s the future for Like That?
In my mind, it’s not the best when an artist releases an album every year. I’m really happy we have the time to take a break and create something new. The goal is not to have 20,000 events. This year we also did a lot of consulting for brands. We always have the same amount of work, even if you don’t always see it.
We will continue growing High Five and are preparing some stuff for next year already, but we can’t tell anything more right now. If I can make another artist comparison: If you try to produce too much, you don’t produce anything good.
We’re trying to be a real skiing festival including freeride, freestyle, free-tele. The familial aspect is something we like. We want to show that freeskiing is not only about the X Games and the Olympics, but also about people who film all year long. I liked what Nico Vuignier said: “I wonder what people will remember more: Candide’s “One of These Days” edit or the Olympics podium.”
Right now we’re already thinking about next year and focusing super hard on High Five. The goal is to not have too many buns in the oven.
Everything you need to know about the 2015 High Five FestivalIt’s that time again: in a month, France’s freeskiing festival will be back. The High Five Festival isn’t just a movie screening, but a tribute to the spirit of freeskiing itself—it’s the place where the pros come as freeski fans to tell their summer stories and winter dreams, and lose some memory at a party or two. It’s a very lively place where livers are abused as much as the eyes are pleased. Here’s an incomplete list of what medicine this year’s High Five will offer. Tomorrow we’ll have an interview with the Doctor himself, High Five organizer Gaylord Pedretti.

A hot-fire dryslope edit from the UK's OverStoke FestivalNormally a dryslope edit wouldn’t be all that much to get excited about, but this cut from the OverStoke Festival, a new ski gathering that went down last week at Stoke Ski Centre in the U.K., is pretty damn good. If these kids have this much steeze skiing on plastic, what’ll they look like on snow? Are dryslopes somehow conducive to afterbang?

The International Freeski Film Festival (iF3) has announced its selections for its ninth annual ski-movie extravaganza in Montreal, Quebec. Of course, as anyone who has attended iF3 in Montreal before can attest, you might well remember the party scene more than you do the movies – if you remember anything at all.
Nevertheless, these are all the great webisodes, edits and films that will be debuting at iF3 on the 24th to 26th of September, 2015—so you should try your best to stay sober enough to enjoy them!

The seventh annual Summer Feast took place August 3-9, 2015 at SNOW DOME Bispingen. The ski and snowboard camp fired up participants from all across Europe not just with the biggest park setup yet inside the indoor ski hall, but also with numerous side events and a perfect atmosphere in the camping area.
The Summer Feast has earned itself a permanent place on the event calendars of the European ski and snowboard scene, drawing increasingly more freestyle fans from across Europe. In addition to a crowd of Summer Feast veterans, there were many new faces to be seen in the camping area next to SNOW DOME Bispingen who had come to join in the collective chilling, shredding and partying.
The setup in Snow Park Bispingen was completely re-designed for the event. Including several special obstacles that occasionally left even the pros stumped, the park also offered a large number of boxes and rails for everyone from beginners to advanced riders. Quick rebuilds throughout the week provided constant variety in the setup, while the weather played along and offered great conditions for the outdoor sessions.
On Wednesday the snowboarders had their High Ollie Contest in the outdoor riding area, constructed with snow brought out from the indoor ski hall, while the skiers showed their stuff on a tube during the Rossignol Best Trick Session. The highest ollie at 1.30 meters was sprung by a well-known face, Klaus Schwarzer, who dominated the competition last year and is still not to be beaten. For the skiers, Felix Althammer showed the best Overall Impression, taking home a pair of Rossignol FKS bindings.
The action continued on Thurday with a public photo and video session in the Snow Park and an evening cool-down session at the Neff Waterslide Contest. After a few test runs, participants were soon tossing backflips, front flips and sideflips into the pool, with goodies from Neff as reward.
After another photo and video session on Friday, the mini-ramp lovers had their moment at the Blue Tomato Skate Session, where a crew from Sweden stood out with technical tricks and smooth styles.
The Saturday-evening Rail Jam brought the action back to the Snow Park one more time. Riders tossed their best tricks in a relaxed jam-session format, competing for cash, Blue Tomato gift cards, and drink vouchers for the afterparty that were tossed out on a trick-by-trick basis, while larger prizes waited for the overall winners.
In the men’s snowboard category, Moritz Loef prevailed over Severin Willmann and Taddäus van Treeck. On the freeski side, David Krieger landed in first place, followed by Marcin Pośpiech in second and Simon Storgaard in third. The victors were rewarded with boards, bindings, clothes, skis, goggles, helmets and ski poles from Technine, K2 Skis and Rossignol.
The video contest, for which participants had the whole week to film their best line in the park, was won by Taddäus van Treeck. In the riders’ voting he captured the audience with his highly creative tricks, winning a free ticket to next year’s Summer Feast.
Then, after a quick pre-party in the camping area, it was off to the Dorfwirt to celebrate an extraordinary week. You can stay up-to-date on all the latest from Snow Park Bispingen on their Facebook as well as Instagram.
