Frontline Rail Jam 2011 Winner: Denis Leontyev

October 6, 2011 By

This last weekend held the 7th edition of the Frontline Rail Jam across the pond in Stockholm on October 1st. The setup was definitely a good one. A lot of stairs equals a lot of potential for painful bails. There were some pretty crazy moves going down, but in the end, it was Denis Leontyev who came out on top. This past summer, Denis graced us with his presence here at Windells Camp. If you have seen any of his riding, you know he has some next level rail skills.

Check out the footage of the Rail Jam here:

Backcountry at Night

January 31, 2011 By

The Burn Units crew sent this over and we wanted to share with everyone!  Backcountry at night is SWEET!

From Burn:

“This planet is alive. If only we could know what it knows, see what it sees. Sometimes you feel like it’s trying to tell you something, showing you where to look, how to see. Lighting up the darkness ahead, illuminating your soul.”

Burn is honoured and excited to present ‘Alive’, featuring The Burn Units, a rider-led initiative headed by the legendary Austrian snowboarder Gigi Rüf, star of many a Pirate Movie Production and hands-down one of the most stylish riders on the planet. In ‘Alive’ Gigi is joined by fellow Burn Units riders Norwegian freestyle prodigy Ståle Sandbech and ultra-smooth French sensation Arthur Longo.
