Down with… Fips Strauss
Photo: Silvano Zeiter // www.silvanozeiter.com The other day we caught up with snowboarder, surfer, explorer, student, soccer fan, fisherman and twin brother, Fips Strauss. Coming back from a severe injury, Fips kicked off his season with a decent load of homeland pre-season pow, then he flew over to Japan for a fine pow session in February, then he went to France in order to have a fine park session at the DC Area 43 in Meribel-Mottaret, then he... broke his foot. Yew. Then, one early evening, Fips just enjoyed his couch, we popped up on his phone and asked some questions; ...
Head Jib Factory 2013 by Alex Tank & Arnette
Hats off to Head, Alex Tank, Arnette and every dude/dudette who was involved in making the 2013 Head Jib Factory happen. Looks like we just watched the recap vid of our favorite jib event... Could there be a better ending for the winter season than hanging out with all your friends having a sick session, BBQ and a DJ for the perfect sound? That ́s exactly what happened on April 16th and 17th at Oberjoch in Germany, where the fourth Head Jib Factory by Alex Tank & Arnette went down. 20 invited riders from all over the world came to the Allgäu ...
Vans Hi-Standard — Mission Accomplished!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED -- VANS HI STANDARD SERIES SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT SOME STYLE TO EUROPEAN SNOW RESORTS Paying homage to the roots of the brand, Vans introduced a new concept in ‘competitive’ snowboarding for 2013.

Riders were judged on individual style, creativity and ‘self-expression’, whilst to keep it clean, rotations over 720 were not permitted. More ...
Rider Check: Carlos Gerber
Before I start this introduction, I have to thank Anthony Brown. He’s great, Anthony. Not only because he allowed us to use his photos for our latest Rider Check, but also because he helped me out regarding my lack of knowledge about a buddy of him, Carlos Gerber. Carlos is a fine fella. He’s from a small Swiss village called Sonceboz. He’s 22 years old, currently living in Ovronnaz, a ski resort in the Swiss district called Wallis, and he’s got a big four wheel drive vehicle that drinks way too much petrol. When he’s doing a snowboard contest, he ...
Preview 13/14: The YES. Jackpot Board
I’m a little screwed right now. The other day Jan did a preview article about a board from 2013/2014 season and there’s a piece where he’s saying 'if you are a loud-mouthed, hard-partying snowboard individual with an uncomfortable horselaugh this board might be the right stick for you'. Plus, he used the word 'hallelujah'. Now I’m just gaping at my laptop screen, thinking about Gemma Arterton and trying to save our last bit of integrity. Seriously, let’s be serious on this one. The 2014/2014 YES. Jackpot is one of the softest noodles I've ever encountered. Don't get me wrong, I’m not ...
