Join the Nidecker team on a search for the perfect turn. From the High Alps of Europe to the bottomless pow of Japan, there are endless ways to ride a mountain, and many strands to snowboarding culture. Narrated by Mike Basich, this award-winning film seeks to find a common thread. Because when you boil it down – behind all the laps, the airtime, the spray – all snowboarding is… is left and right.

On sunday February 19th took place the fourth edition of El Tarter Banked Slalom with a full riding field in all categories. More than 166 registered riders were ready for the Banked Slalom circuit shaped by the El Tarter Snowpark organization, which this year changed the setting, located at left side of the main jumping line.

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
In Senior Women category Agustina Pardo repeated victory in front of Alejandra Seisdedos and Gina Ros, with a fast and smooth descent
The competition finished with a celebrated barbacue for all riders who enjoyed the after riding with friends in a sunny day with a very good vibes
Ultimately, El Tarter’s Banked Slalom has been a great success thanks also to sponsors like Kilvil and Viladomat for making it real

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.

In this video Mark McMorris presents his video part in ARK with very technical riding, steep lines, drops and freestyle backcountry to make us dream.
