Can I Trust a Back Protector I Can’t Even Feel?

Another Absinthe Neverland produced video that this time features 2008 Transworld Rider of the Year Wolfgang "Wolle" Nyvelt.

We've been featuring this and a video with Romain de Marchi for several months now on our home page without sound (many people say, hitting a site and suddenly hit with startling sound, that's annoying), and so now here it is WITH sound.

Wolle has always had a sort of mild-mannered style all his own. His flow-y style is probably a direct result of his go-with-the -flow, mellow demeanor.

Enjoy this video and listen to how Wolle answers the question:  Can I Trust a Back Protector I Can't Even Feel?


Weird Whack Romain de Marchi Interview

Not sure who this interviewer is or where he got the idea to do a Skype interview (huhum... maybe this Romain interview done here on Slytech Protection last September here?)

Anyway, it's a short and not all to in-depth chat with Romain, who talks a bit about YES as well as his snowboard travels in Japan and the upcoming shredders. Check it...

Romain de Marchi, Absinthe Films and Slytech Protection Partnership

If you were one of the hundreds of thousands of people to check out Absinthe's Neverland Tour throughout the world, you would have seen this Slytech Protection section somewhere along the line...

Arguably one of Snowboarding's biggest risk-takers, Romain de Marchi -- while oddly not wearing a helmet (he says he's too old-school for it) -- he relies on his Slytech 2nd Skin Back Protector at EVERY SESSION. Whether he's charging big mountain or is on piste for a quick late afternoon cruiser sesh, he straps it on.

"Why not?" he once told me, "I can't even feel it!"

Enjoy this short video segment....


Looking for Some Sweet Snowboards for 2010-2011 Season?

We definitely dig Romain de Marchi's go-for-broke style, and as a Slytech Shredder it's only fitting that we recommend people look into YESNowBoard.

Here's a look into what RDM, DCP, and JPS got going in their line-up for 2010-2011.


Motocross Crashes… These Guys Wear Their Protection

You  can bet your bottom dollar that most of these motocross guys are fanatical about protection.

If you think about it, a lot of what we do on the slopes is no different. Be smart, grab protection.


You Don’t Need to Speak Norwegian to Get This Insanity

I have no idea what these guys are saying, but if you watch this video, you won't need to understand the words. The pictures say it all... INSANE skiing action!

Makes you reconsider whining on a groomer wipe out! Booo-hoooo...
