Season Recap

2012-01-24T04:56:00.000-08:00

Here is a quick season recape so far. I didn't ski untill December to rest my knee and get as strong as possible, to be a 110% recovered fom my knee surgery which i had in July. In the beginning of January I went to Breckenridge Colorado to get some ski days in and to ski the second Dew Tour Stop. I stood on my skis for three days in Breckenridge then i got a fever and got verry sick. The Doctor first though it would only be a strep throat, turns out in the end i have mononucleosis. The problem with this virus is you cant do anything there is no medication or anything else. The only thing what helps is to do notthing and stay in bed. The doctor can't even say how long its gonna take me to ski again. Now i'am back home and doing everything i can to get healthy again as soon as possible! Well i guess you have to take everything with humor right. At least the three ski days i had in Breck my knee is awesome!!!

Legs of Steel
Nothing else Matters is here! It's fast, it's spectacular and it's loud! Canadian Andre Nutini brought high class cinematography into a freeski project run and managed by the four athletes Bene Mayr, Tobi Reindl, Thomas Hlawitschka and Paddy Graham. The result is a 30 minute action packed skifilm with an ending segment to remember forever. Turn your speakers up, click fullscreen and lean back, because Legs Of Steel is here and they are here to stay.

"The next 30 minutes are a big thankyou to all LOS supporters around the world. When we left everything else behind to do a full time project of our own, we could have only dreamed of all this appreciation and support we've got throughout the past year. We want to thank our partners Voekl, Marker, Fiat, Oakley, Red Bull, Monashee Powder Cats, Atomic and Leki for committing to us...and not start laughing when we presented a movie concept with the funny name Legs Of Steel. Even more important, thankyou to every single skier that believed in this project and came out to film with us this winter. We are honored to have you guys in our movie! The season has been a hell of a ride and we are proud to finally present the final movie to the world. Yeh, it's cheesy to say this but watch out for 2012. This is only the beginning and we are ready for big things. Rock and Roll!"
- Andre, Paddy, Tobi, Thomas, Bene

This time last year the Legs of Steel crew sat down to begin planning one of the most mind-blowing park segment ever filmed. It’s difficult coming up with new ideas and it seems the only way to get noticed is to go bigger than anyone has gone before. But the Legs of Steel crew stepped outside the box to create one of the most outrageous shoots we've ever seen. Watch Bene Mayr, Thomas Hlawitschka, Fabio Studer, Lucas and Tobi Mangold, Antti Ollila, Oscar Scherlin, Lolo Favre, Elvis Harsheim, Sebi Geiger, Nico Zacek, Tobi Tritscher and Toni Hollwart join forces in Kaunertal, Austria. Tune in next week for the final webisode, A Season Review, before the free online release of Nothing Else Matters on October 26. For more information about the project visit www.legsofsteel.eu.

Full Part: Scotty Vine - "thats what i would call creativ progression"

2011-10-11T04:02:00.000-07:00

"In snowboarding, I believe imagination and creativity go hand and hand. Potential for creativity is everywhere, but people need to learn to recognize it by using their minds. I'll never stop imagining or creating, because to me, that's what makes snowboarding fun. The 2010/2011 winter was my favorite so far - I met amazing people AND had a great time. Every winter gets better, and I can't wait to start the next one." -Scotty Vine-

Amazing Landscapes Timelaps

2011-10-09T08:45:00.000-07:00

PLEASE WATCH IN HD FULL SCREEN w/SOUND. It is a much better viewing experience. Hopefully you have a 1080P monitor and good connection. If not, bug a friend or colleague that does. It is worth it.

Landscapes: Volume 2 is the second of a three part series (probably). Every frame of this video is a raw still from a Canon 5D2 DSLR and processed with Adobe software. In Volume 2 I again show off my beautiful home state of Arizona and I also made several trips to Utah. This video has some iconic landmarks that we have seen before. I felt that showing them again with motion controlled HDR and/or night timelapse would be a new way to see old landmarks.

Legs of Steel WEBISODE 3

2011-10-05T04:10:00.000-07:00

After a successful trip to Canada, the LOS crew flew back to Europe to a spring that the harsh and disappointing winter had left behind. Sven Kueenle, Paddy Graham, Bene Mayr and Tobi Reindl quickly fell victim to season-ending knee injuries. But the likes of Dennis Ehlert, Fabio Studer, Tobi and Lucas Mangold stepped up to the plate to help out the LOS Crew in their darkest hour of the season. The result was better than anybody would ever have thought. It's amazing what you can do with some creativity, hard work and lots of dedication from the crew. But see for yourself and tune in every week for a trilogy of webisodes until the online release of the FREE movie,
'Nothing Else Matters'.

Just looked threw my computer and found some picures of the Dotz Rims photoshoot pretty much a year ago. My Mini was looking super pimp back then!

The Mini made it even on the Cover of the Dotz Magazine and became a Dotz Adventskalender with the amazing Swiss Lindt chocolate.
