BASI biz with Ben

BK sat down with Nicol and Kris Bell to talk BASI when he was up for a course last month. After talking shop the guys headed out to the hill for a quick burn in the sun. Back 1, front 3 and cab underflip from Kris, clean as anything! Stick around til the end for a nice Rutger cameo.

BP + BK + QP =

So Barry 'frontflip führer' Parker went for something that we're pretty sure has never been landed at Garthdee. Ben joined in but sadly neither of them became the first to stick it. You don't get much closer than this though! Great effort from the guys, we'll see it stomped soon.

Ben tears up Tignes X-Games park

BK has sent us this video of his day sessioning the X-Games park in Tignes:



Banger of a kicker run: switch back 5 stale, back 7 melon, massive back 1 tail! This was apparently his last day in Tignes before shooting off, and looks like he went out on a high.

The new LSR Project blog is now online, and you can check it out here.

Ben is out in Tignes as we speak, with three of our favourite drymat rats: Kris Bell, Fin Bremner and Lara Wood.

Unlike most camps that summarise the week's events once it's all over, LSR are releasing videos and photos every day, with maximum input from the groms themselves. Here's the first riding footage, edited by Fin:




Speaking of the wee man, he'll be riding in the final of the Quiksilver Radar comp this Friday, and we wish him all the best. Check back at the weekend  to see how he got on.

Ben gets some pow in Tignes

 Europe's not had a great season by all accounts, but Ben managed to get some fresh last week and sent us the footage. Says the man himself:

"Neil McNair and myself made the most of a bit of snow up near the glacier in Tignes. Bastard hike in, some rad snow"

It was well worth the trail-breaking: freshies all the way down, doesn't get much better. The shredding's top drawer as well: some nice butters from Ben, while Neil gets the best white room we've seen in a while. Awesome filming from both parties as well; the last shot's a winner!

Been a quiet week for shredding, so here's a classic from last season. Emmet, Barry and Ben tear up Tignes, 2nd January 2010.

Lowriders Grom Camps 2011

LowRiders are at it again: after a massively successful inaugral camp in Morzine last year, the crew are off to Tignes in 2011. Timed to coincide with the resort's hosting of Winter X-Games Europe, the program offers bairns on- and off-snow performance coaching with two of the best in the business. Pipe, park, all-mountain freeride, it's all covered in one unique, affordable week of high-end coaching.

Ben in Zermatt

Back in November, Ben got his GoPro out for a few runs with some of his fellow trainers. Perfect conditiions, mellow riding, a shit-hot edit and a fair few chucklesome moments all add up to a great watch.

WILL IT SHRED? - Ions

Product props from those who know. First up, Ben ‘Killer’ Kinnear talks Burton Ions…..

 

The Ions have become the benchmark in boots for me! It's easy to get all techincal, but I don't have a clue what features these have, and I don't care either! To me they are well made and ride great. Light, stiff (enough) and long-lasting.

Great grip and support for hunting in the back-country:

　

You can snowboard in them too!

Simple boot that ticks what should be a very simple ticklist when it comes to buying boots.
