For the last week the Amplid Research Cartel has been watching through the many edits submitted by the Amplid Ambush Academy members as part of the first challenge set by McRae Williams. The challenge was to create a 60 second edit featuring 5 tricks or features in a row filmed continuously with no cuts in [...]

Amplid’s go-to lens man in the Pacific Northwest Tyler Orton dropped HQ an email with a little edit he’d put together featuring Mt. Bachelor’s Sweeney Todd crew and of course Cartel shred-head J-Norm. We reckon Tyler, who considers himself a photographer rather than a filmer, has done a stand-up job of the filming and editing [...]

Last weekend a little bit of hiking into Hochfuegen’s lesser known backcountry areas rewarded Ambush rider Andy Nitsche and photographer Severin Wagener with some stunning shots.  

Last weekend the Cartel’s contest killer Dash Kamp and his HiDef 155 were in Davos for 6 Star TTR event the O’Neill Evolution. Dash had the highest score in Round 1 with a super clean backside double cork and a 5050 backside 180 out of the tricky elbow rail at the bottom of the course. [...]

Aspen Snowmass put together this tasty little edit of team rider McRae Williams and fellow X Games competitor Matt Walker familiarising themselves with the X Games slopestyle course. McRae and his Antidogmas look to have the course on lock so fingers crossed for the Slopestyle Eliminators on Friday.

Congratulations to Cartel rider John Rodosky who yesterday took second place at the Courmayeur stop of the Freeride World Tour. His run described as “playful” by the live commentators included multiple 360s, some ballsy fall-line drops and a big ol’ back flip and placed John above some big name riders like last year’s tour winner [...]

Yesterday team rider John Rodosky spent the day scoping lines for his run in the second stop of the Freeride World Tour in Courmayeur, Italy. Situated on the south face of Mt Blanc, the European Alp’s highest mountain, Courmayeur promises incredibly steep faces, tons of exposure and lots of rocks and cliffs. Tune into the [...]

So submissions are in for the first Academy challenge set by Cartel rider McRae Williams and the Amplid Ambush Academy riders have done themselves proud. The task of setting the next challenge has fallen to Amplid’s Big Mountain destroyer Teddy Berr. Teddy wants the Academy riders to film a short POV edit of any line [...]

The UK’s latest Ambush signing Jonny Pickup emailed HQ these killer photos of him crushing the rail set-up at theVans Penken Park, Mayrhofen. With Jonny spending the winter season in Austria’s number one terrain park and his lightening fast progression to date we reckon you’ll be seeing a lot more from Jonny in the months [...]

“After my crash at WCS, my life has changed. But, I still feel young and I still love to freeski even though I am 34 years old. I hope you enjoy my edit!” -Pako Pako partnered with Freeski movie mogul Evan Heath to release an edit with riding from the past and present. The edit [...]

This weekend the Amplid 13/14 snowboard demo tent rolled into La Clusaz, France for France’s number one retailer demo weekend, Avant Premiere. Amplid head honcho Peter Bauer hooked up with the French A.R.C. to present an incredible collection to France’s snowboard industry glitterati. Next stop for Amplid’s retailer test tour is the Shop’s 1st Try [...]

When the light is flat, there’s no better place to be than the trees. German Ambush rider Andy Nitsche spent last weekend in Fieberbrunn making the most of an overcast day with a wet and heavy alpine snowpack by blasting through Fieberbrunn’s feature filled forests on a pair of uber fat Lexingtons. Photographer Severin Wegener [...]

Isn’t it terrible when the boss gets to shred perfect Alpine pow while you’re hard at work. Two days ago Amplid Ambassador Stefan Falkeis went riding with Amplid co-founder Peter Bauer in the Austrian Alps with the strict instructions to shoot him mid pow turn. Stefan got a little confused and took a photo instead. [...]

Steve Stepp’s outerwear sponsor Saga have been putting together a short series of shredits they’re calling the Hungry Crew. There’s not much to say other than the skiing is smooth and styled and once again Park City shows the rest of the world how a good terrain park should be put together. No wonder Steve [...]

With the Lexington, Amplid attempted to build a ski that would cater for team rider Teddy Berr’s watermelon sized balls. When we saw the cover of this month’s Skiing Magazine it confirmed that yes Teddy has enormous Kahunas but that the Lexington is Ski enough to take everything Teddy can stomp on it. Congrats on [...]

Last season the Cartel’s very own John Rodosky earned a place on the 2013 Freeride World Tour. At this very moment John is in Revelstoke, interior British Columbia preparing for the first contest shred of the season. With delays on the first day due to a fresh storm cycle the FWT has been busying John [...]

Luka, Pako and Noah, Amplid’s Iberian dream team have been filming recently for another of their many sponsors, Buff. Filmed in moody black and white around the Spanish Pyrenees, this little edit is packed full of the style we expect from three of Europe’s finest.

From 55 degree Chamonix Couloirs to fun lines in the trees, French Ambush rider Nico Antony made the most of France’s epic snowfalls last season. Nico emailed this season edit through to HQ and there’s some great footage in the edit including some smooth POV lines with some hefty drops and pedal to the metal [...]

Last year was a world of couch surfing and pow day face shots up and down the Rockies and the West coast for Cartel rider John Rodosky. Chasing the snow and persuing his dream of riding on the Freeride World Tour meant putting school on hold and throwing away the comforts of normal life to [...]

In case you’d forgotten or you just didn’t know, Steve kicks back at Park City these days where he shreds with the rest of the 4bi9 crew. As usual it’s slick steeze packed shredding from the Dumpster Mummy in this month’s I Ride Park City episode. Soundtrack courtesy of Pete Rock and CL Smooth we [...]

Morgen Sauerwald doing green propaganda in France, by holding his recycled AMPLID GREEN LIGHT FAT SKI base towards Julien’s lense.
