Red Bull Stratos was one of those events that we just couldn’t wait for it to happen. With all of the videos that were released and every image that was sent out, it was an event that was going to blow minds. For those of you that don’t know anything about Red Bull Stratos, read on…

So, in an over simplified way, Red Bull Stratos is essentially one man attempting break the record for the highest ever sky dive. Whilst doing this the crazy person who’s attempting to break this record is going to break the speed of sound upon his extremely fast descent. Sounds crazy right? You’d be correct in agreeing. It is crazy.
The man who is going to be attempting this feat is Felix Baumgartner – certified ‘crazy-enough’ to go through with it and have a stomach that’s stronger than diamonds!

Red Bull: Supernatural

A post in Events, Snowboarding which was posted on January 13, 2012 by Keltron.

Red Bull: Supernatural

Supernatural. As the dictionary defines it – Pertaining to, or being above or beyond what is natural; unexplainable by natural law or phenomena; abnormal.

When it comes to Travis Rice, supernatural can only be defined as fucking epic. After The Art of Flight everything TRice does from now on is going to be nothing short of spectacular. But what is Red Bull’s Supernatural all about?

Well, it’s the first-of-its-kind backcountry competition designed to challenge the best all around snowboarder on the planet. Travis has grabbed himself a gaggle of lumberjacks (that has to be the title for a group of lumberjacks) and hacked away at a mountain in Baldface. As you’ll see from the video they’ve created some ridiculous features that are ready to be covered in snow, and by this time, they’re probably drowning in the white stuff. So who will be invited to this? Your guess is as good as mine at this point but what we do know is that there will be 18 of the top snowboarders in the world going for the crown.

Seriously… this looks amazing.

Overkill? – The Art of Flight game

A post in Snowboarding which was posted on September 19, 2011 by Keltron.

A lot of films in Hollywood follow up the release of their movie with computer games, clothing, CDs… you name it, they’ll release it with the film’s title stamped on it. So is it any surprise that Travis Rice‘s latest blockbuster now has a computer game attached to it?! So it’s not anything amazing, it’s not something that will be released onto the Xbox or PS3 but it is a computer game nonetheless.

Overkill? - The Art of Flight game

So, after looking through the insanely well done Art of Flight website, there’s a link to head to a Red Bull web page to play the game. It’s a simple game where you control a snowboarder (our guess is it’s modeled on TRice) as he flies down a mountain. You then control his speed and tricks to gain as many points as possible to top the ever changing leaderboard. Like I said, simple game.

Nothing major but I’m wondering what your thoughts are. Is it overkill or just another added bonus to a great snow film?

The Art of Flight – best snow film ever?

A post in Events, Snowboarding which was posted on September 9, 2011 by Keltron.

The Art of Flight - best snow film ever?

It’s always going to be quite a claim for a snow film to be the best film ever but is The Art of Flight going to take that crown? With Travis Rice being the main man in ‘Hollywood‘ snowboarding right now, any film with his name in it is going to be a big one, especially after That’s It, That’s All.
There’s been a lot of hype around The Art of Flight. There have been trailers, tv spots, gossip… you name it, it’s had it. Red cams have been used all over the shop and it’s going to be an absolute HD dream but let’s not stop there. It’s got a cast involving (already mentioned) Travis Rice, Nico Muller, Jake Blauvelt, DCP, Scotty Lago… the list goes on.

So what do you expect from the world premiere of one of the biggest snow films in recent history? You expect it to be held in an iconic city and bring in some celebrities. Oh, yeh, that’s totally what happened. Held in the Beacon Theatre in New York City, that’s one box already ticked. Celebrities? Justin Timberlake, Owen Wilson and Mike Diamond from the Beastie Boys – tick. Red Bull Media House have spent a lot of cash getting this all sorted and the guys at Brain Farm (who Red Bull collaborated with on the film) were stoked to see the turn out. With this film being 2 years in the making everyone was understandably nervous but it got rave reviews from everyone in attendance.
