The Documentary | DaniHell Hanka Invitational 2022

by DanielHanka
Jan 2023 - 3.5K views

In March 2022, the inaugural Danihell Hanka Invitational welcomed twelve unique skiers from across the freeski spectrum to Daniel Hanka’s home resort of Destne, Czechia. Their mission: to enjoy a week-long, no-rules session on a special park setup envisioned by Daniel, and to bring back a touch of the flavor and style from the times before skiing was dominated by rules, regulations and organizations.

“With this invitational, I would love to bring back the old-school park session and do an event that will actually satisfy the core of our ski community,” says Daniel. “My skiing is really character oriented, so I would like to appreciate all the other skiers that are working this way. That’s pretty much the point of the Danihell Hanka invitational.

As the paths of destiny has lead us all the way over the ocean to Canada. We couldn't really film just one episode. This time crazy freezing temperatures tried, but didn't manage to stop us from tapping the sh!t out of Sunshine Village snowpark features. Enjoy the second episode from our CzechMate Canadian adventure.

CzechMate S02E03 | Dolce Primavera

by DanielHanka
Jun 2023 - 2.4K views

The season has been pretty meh in Europe as America has stolen all the snow from us. We decided we wanna go to Kronplatz to enjoy some serious spring laps. However... Weather sucked but we managed to have 1 good and 1 ok sweet spring days through week long window. Daniel fell sick after day 1 and had to leave home. Jan arrived after Daniel's departure, but hurt his knee during his first day of skiing. Considering our "luck" this episode turned out way better then we were thinking it would be.

Better late then never, huh? This season we were committed to fulfill the name of this project and finally film couple episodes in Czech... However, in similar fashion to last year, this year's winter was quite terrible. So believe it or not, this episode is filmed in mid-February, yet it looks like end of May hah. Well, it is what it is. Also, that's why we named this episode this way. February and bros… get it? HAHA, GET IT??? I think we've achieved comedy over here. Alright…now enjoy some fun shredding! Thanks for watching.

CzechMate S03E02 | Last Resort

by DanielHanka
Jan 7th - 2.6K views

Snow in Czech is as rare as park skiers in tight pants (basically nonexistent). So, we made our way to the highest spot in the country, where you can ski: Moravská Bouda. Getting there isn’t easy—you either take a sled or hitch a ride on a snowcat. Luckily, with the help of our friend Joseph Novák, we not only managed to make it but also set up a few features to shred on.

The promise of a place to actually ski in Czech even convinced a few more friends to join us for the session. It was a mission, but worth it.
