The idea behind the Banked Slalom is to enjoy some runs with your friends, without much pressure for the results, gathering riders from all ages and generations to spend a great day of riding.
The Banked Slalom circuit had a brand new course enjoyed by all the riders
The competition format was designed to only one run so all the riders had to make sure they did a good job on their first timed descent
Banked turns and acceleration in between, are key to get a good time. Pau BartoloAgustina Pardo took victory again with a very smooth run
In the Senior Men Category Marc Roure took victory in front of riders like Tyler Chorlton or Jordi Font,who took the second and third spot of the podium respectively, with Miguel Moreno pretty close to the podium

Greetings is a snowboard street short video filmed across Europe during the winter of 2021-2022. It serves as a companion piece to our larger project, Sincerely Yours, which we produced for Ride Snowboards in Europe. With Greetings, the aim was to create a condensed, street-focused version with a unique vibe. The video is designed to be watched in less than 10 minutes, providing a burst of morning motivation before hitting the streets. We know that in a 30-minute project, some tricks could be overshadowed, so Ride Snowboards wanted to give them the spotlight they deserve. And of course, why not create an additional piece that showcases the incredible talent and excitement of snowboarding? Featuring Mikko Rehnberg, Kristian Skjømming, Louis Labertrande, Pierre Scafidi, Samuel Ærø, Jonathan Begley, Maria Hilde, Nicolas Palladio, Rasmus Rönkä, Sara Säkkinen.
