This spring, like the last, Les Arcs in France will become the epicenter of freeskiing for one week as the world's best skiers descend on the resort for the B&E Invitational. Cartel team rider Kevin Salonius would like to be one of the skiers jamming with BDog and Edollo, but he needs your votes to be selected as a Wildcard.
One of the privileges of working at Amplid is seeing team riders join the brand and really flourish on Amplid products. 12 months ago Finnish freeskier Kevin Salonius joined Amplid. Kevin brought insane skiing and movie production skills, and a ton of enthusiasm to the brand and we're stoked to announce that he will be joining the Cartel Intl team.
Kevin Salonius spends all summer in his garden, but he's not planting Petunias, watering his prize marrows or weeding the flower beds. Nope, Kevin spends all summer in his garden working on new rail trick combinations for the season ahead. Here are some highlights from summer 2014.
The most productive professional skier in the industry, Kevin Salonius, just dropped his 2013/14 season edit. The conditions in Finland might have been a nightmare last winter for the urban scene, but Kevin and 22 Productions managed to stack enough footage to assemble a banger season edit.
Kevin Salonius is one of the hardest working skiers there is. We added to his workload this summer and shipped him a new true twin, prototype park ski to put through its paces. Little did we know he'd like the ski so much that he'd film his entire summer edit riding it.
Are your skis running a bit slow up on the glacier in the soft summer slush? Do you think a stonegrind with a deep structure would help improve glide? Well, Cartel rider Kevin Salonius can help. Kevin's new stonegrind service guarantees the deepest structure money can buy.
Last winter in Helsinki was a washout, the number of good, cold days with a base of snow on the ground could be counted on fingers and toes. Poor conditions didn't stop Amplid's dark horse, Kevin Salonius, from filming urban. In February Kevin linked-up with Norway's Wordup Projects crew to film at some of the city's famous spots.
Team rider Kevin Salonius was unstoppable last winter and he's continued that momentum into the summer. For the last four days Kevin has been awarded Newschoolers' "Photo of the Day". Here's a close-up of the shots, which were all taken by photographer Stephan Sutton.
At Amplid we're testing new shreds daily. When summer arrives that doesn't change. Right now, team rider Kevin Salonius, who is in Les Deux Alpes to coach at Parom freeski camps, is putting a new park ski prototype through its paces.
Summer sucks. Sure you get long holidays, but what's the point of that if there's no snow to shred. In an effort to make summer more bearable, Amplid Cartel rider Kevin Salonius is launching a summer rail contest that anybody can get involved with. Oh and he's pulled together a whole lot of swag from his sponsors to award to the winners.
