PSYCHOACTIV

by Level1
Oct 2022 - 4.6K views

PSYCHOACTIV is the culmination of one's skiing experience.

Skiing the streets alters mood, behaviour, cognition & perception. Much like a psychoactive substance we use skiing recreationally, medically or spiritually to purposefully enhance our lives.
Much like a psychoactive substance it created some hardships for some of us with head injuries changing our lives & shaping our uncertain future.

We worked hard to showcase the many versions of ourselves we encounter on life's path. Emotions shape our perception & in this ski film we hope you can truly feel how every mood is important to create a well balanced life. We wish to never shy away from the hard times that shape us.

Directed by Rudy Lepine.

Produced by Rudy Lepine & Tristan Steen.

Filmed by Tristan Steen, Etienne Yockell, Rudy Lepine, William Pichette, Loïc Thivierge & Oscar Weary.

Edited by Tristan Steen & Rudy Lepine.

Skiing by William Pichette, Loïc Thivierge, Oscar Weary & Rudy Lepine.

Supported by ON3P Skis, Guayaki Yerba Mate & Arsenic Anywhere.

We want to thank the people who are in our lives. Our families, friends, partners & supporters that believe in us and push us everyday to be our better selves. So many people to name but you know who you are. We appreciate you.

Which mood do you find yourself stuck in? How many emotions can you identify in the movie? Let us know how you think you can be true to yourself in the comments.

If there?s anything that we can say for certain after spending the past three weeks reviewing this year?s Superunknown entries, its that the talent pool has never been deeper, and there?s more variation in style, influence, and inspiration than ever before.

Superunknown XII drew in nearly 100 entries from around the globe- some were all street, others all park. some all pow and big mountain, and others a mix of everything. Figuring out how to compare and judge one against the next was a huge challenge, and while we can?t say that we have the perfect formula, after spending countless hours consulting with athletes, media, and the Level 1 staff and rewetting most of these entries more times than we can count we have a list of 17 Semi-Finalits, and 9 Finalists that we stand behind.

We?ll be dropping Semi-Finalist all week long, starting with four today. On Friday afternoon we?ll kick off the fan poll for you all to choose the 10th spot in Finals, so watch closely, spread the word, and help us figure out who should join the other Finalists in April for a shot at taking home the title!

To celebrate his 30th birthday and half a life dedicated to professional skiing, Laurent De Martin is offering his film Simply to the public. A symbolic gesture that underlines a nice career and a professional maturity now focused on the production of images. The film’s public release coincides with the completion of a particularly successful world tour that won a Best Freeride Film Award.

The new movie Simply relies on a simple recipe: 100% powder snow, beauty through the lines chosen as well as the shots, and maximum pleasure shared with friends. Freeride in all its splendor! To achieve this result, the team skinned in search of the perfect spots in the Région Dents du Midi and in Wallis. Laurent De Martin and Titouan Bessire had the support of local rider friends. We find the French snowboarder Victor Daviet, the Swiss skiers and snowboarders Alex Chabod, Basile Bessire and Fred Couderc.

Bad HABIT - A Guide to Crashing

by Level1
Feb 2018 - 6K views

Level 1's 18th annual feature film HABIT is available now in your favorite digital or hard copy format: level1productions.com/collections/movies/products/habit

It’s never quite as easy as it looks in the movies. Even the best professional skiers regularly put their bodies through trials and tribulations in search of that elusive moment when it all comes together- the perfect light with the perfect snow, fingers finding the grab, edges locking onto a rail or ledge, speed perfectly dialed, and balanced feet finding their way to the ground as they prepare for landing.

For every magical shot in your favorite film, edit, or photo, dozens or more hit the cutting room floor. In reality its a waiting game of hours, days, or weeks for light. The snow is harder than it looks. Grabs are often missed. Edges fail. Speed is off- too fast, too slow. That perfect balance point eludes even the most talented as they plummet to the ground below. Didn’t get the shot? No matter- pick up your gear and hike back up for another try. Or a few more. As many as it takes to get the shot or until you can break the habit.
