What's up NS! I'm in Verbier with the majority of the Faction Team who are here filming for Season 3 Episode 3 of We Are The Faction Collective, the Final Episode! You can follow the action from tomorrow morning on Snapchat and upcoming news exclusively on NS.

We also figured when is there a better chance for you guys to find out more about any of the riders than when they are all in one place. So over the next few days the stacked crew out here will be checking in to this thread to answer your questions.

The riders currently around are:

Tom Granier, Arnaud Rougier, Adam Delorme, Tim McChesney, Duncan Adams, Will Berman, Cody Cirillo, Antti Ollila, Dan Hanka, Alex Hall, Giulia Tanno, Laurent Gauthier, Sam Anthamatten, Etienne Merel + the Faction Staff

So, any questions you have for any of these guys, we'll try to get them answered. I have (of course) been drinking, so this might not be 100% coherent but let's make it an epic Q+A session. Fire away!

Etienne - You've had shots in most of the episodes but is it hard to spend all your time on these shoots filming rather than riding when you're on that same level and could be getting shots?

FactionWe feel like it's time to evolve and come up with something new.

It's been 3 amazing seasons putting together these episodes and webseries, we had so much fun doing this and couldn't be happier with the reactions from our community and general public.



In regards with what to come next...what you guys would like to see from us?



back to the team one of those days edits... maybe have a collection of each riders own perspective of a day in the mountains, like a "One of Adam D's Days" or "One of those Alex Hall Days" where you take each rider and make a whole 1st person edit of them ripping around their terrain of choice, whether that be backcountry, park, or urban

Just a (hopefully dope) thought

The Faction team should put an entry in the 50/50 straight air contest and enjoy the $4.99 prize money.

It's not that hard, I enjoy filming great stuff as much as skiing. Finding the right angle or making a great follow shot, I love that feeling as much as skiing!

The bus was tight quarters but it felt like we were a squad of skiing RV tourists who listen to a lot of Metallica. You get some serious camaraderie going when you're cruising Argentina in a '66 Benz school bus. The living situation made that trip one of the best I've been on.
