Besides Absinthe, this is Another Amazing Film

HOT HOT HOT

HOT HOT HOT

Just stumbled across this video and was blown away by the amazing shots and insane riding action. Slytech’s very-own Wolfgang Nyvelt hits some just crazy peaks that just give you chicken skin…

Riding the mountains seems like a distant memory for most us right now in the northern hemisphere. With the whole country in dark red temps, this seems to be the only hope we’ve got right now…

That is, unless you live our in Mount Hood, where the summer season is in full swing.

 

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?

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.
