by DanielHanka
Mar 2024 - 931 views

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 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.

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.

Czech Mate Ep. 2 | As Is

by DanielHanka
Jan 2022 - 9.5K views

The power of chaotic faith brought Danihell & Simba into Austrian Alps. Original plan was to meet up with local hero Tom Ritsch enjoy the Kitzsteinhorn snowpark, however the park was not ready and therefore Tom took us to scope around the mountain. We have found the sacred place called The Crystal Bahn, full of curvy terrain, which became our favourite place on earth for next 4 sunny days. Therefor the name: As Is. We just used the mountain terrain as we found it and we were basically just skiing, finding natural hits and little lines to do tricks on.

Dec 2021 - 9.4K views

Daniel Hanka and Simon Bartik presents the first episode of the new webseries called ''Czech Mate''. We've spent a month in Tirol to experience the classic pre-season warm up on local crowded glaciers Stubai and Kaunnertal and commited to film the first episode of our new project here. Bold move after 6 months without skiing. Unfrotunately Austria went into lockdown again three quarters into our filming trip and the ski resorts had to be closed. But was it that unfortunate?

I spent a month with Daniel Hanka | Czech Adventure by Erwan Lier

by DanielHanka
May 2020 - 2.6K views

In January 2019, after I finished rehab of my second ACL surgery, I was looking for a filmer for my new Cruise'n'Roll project. I posted an Instagram story and got a reply from a random french guy, fulltime engineer Erwan, aka Kekous. We never saw each other, exchanged couple messages on gram and suddenly he took a month of his regular everyday job to go to Czech Republic and film with me. Pretty insane if you ask me. But that's how modern world works. This video summes up the month we spent together from Erwan's perspective. It was definitely a time to remember and brings back tons of memories. It takes a month to make a friend for life.

Daniel Hanka | Good 'Ol Ski Edit

by DanielHanka
Nov 2019 - 3.7K views

A summer project that came out of nowhere during my trip to America - Good 'Ol Ski Edit has been filmed by many people with lots of different cameras with different settings, and it's all about skiing and a good vibes, like it was with ski edits back in the days. This is somewhat of tribute to the times, when people were shredding together and filming each other, hustling with the shots afterwards to make something out of it. This has been sure a bit of a hustle.. But it was all worth it and i hope you guys will enjoy it..and most importantly..that it'll make you want to do out there and shredd!!!

I would like to thank everyone, who helped to make this happen. Special shoutout to Jason Arens from Windells Camps and Anna Puotka from Snowpark Zermatt for massive help. To Windells film and photo crew Mark Cola, Gucci Logan and Jacob Dubé for the sick cover photo. Nico from Swiss for helping out filming the Zermatt part.. To Šimon Bartík for being the best homie on our USA adVANture. And shoutout to all the homies and people I've met on the way! It was unforgetable summer.

THANK YOU

Cruise'n'Roll | The Maiden Voyage EP. 1

by DanielHanka
Mar 2019 - 2.2K views

Hey Newschoolers! I'm finally back on skis with my new knee and also with a new video project called Cruise'n'Roll. Which I'm really happy to present to you right now and I really hope you will appreciate it the same way as you did with my previous project Smelly Socks - and once more - I'm really thankful for that! But it was time to move on....and this is it! It is slightly different, but my classic ski segments are still gonna remain, just enriched about some behind the scenes of my ski life that I'm so much thankful for... From traveling, events, homies, messing around with the Wildcat to rolleblading and partying..This all should be Cruise'n'Roll.


In the first Cruise'n'Roll, I'll take you to my homeresort, where I'll be skiing in the snowpark for the first time after 9 months long rehab of my back to back surgery of my right knee.

SMELLY SOCKS I 3.1

by DanielHanka
Apr 2017 - 29.9K views

Smelly Socks 3.1 is, unfortunately, the one and only Smelly Socks webisode this year. Simply for two reasons: We have zero budget for this and Daniel hurt his knee. But this doesent mean Smelly Socks are done! We tried hard and made at least one this year. And we will try even harder to bring you more Smelly Socks edits in upcoming season, so dont be sad and stay tunned!

This particular time for 3.1, we visited Absolut park Flachauwinkl in Austria. Daniel, Antti and Martin drove with Dans sketchy 1998 VW Golf literally overloaded with all kinds of classic shit like bags, skis, filming equipment...But also pretty gross shit, like a mixture of candies and leftover snacks on the floor, which at some point, mixed with melted snow, became some sort of nasty candysauce as we called it, while Martin was constantly complaining about Daniel driving too fast and too furious. We drove about 6 hours from Czech Republic to Flachau where we all stayed at Matthias Krallingers amazing house in the middle of the mountain. and he even has his own miniramp in a basement, where we had nice afternoon sessions after skiing with beers and a good music.

Overally we had 4 days to film the edit. But as it usually is the weather didnt really cooperate, so we had 1 day off and stayed home. That left us 3 days to work with. Unlike the bummer day at home, those other days luckily worked out perfectly for us! We had 2 days of sun that we used in a park and even one deep powder day! Where Daniel and Antti tried to be like The Big Picture guys and hit cliffs and stuff on their centermounted park skis, doin countless tomahawks, calling it the best day at work ever pretty much after each hit. At this point we were also joined by everyones favourite Zuzicka Stromkova, and she was sending the cliffs with dem boyz like theres no tomorrow, leaving Daniel and Antti speechless! Daniel dropped his first cliff ever in his life and Antti was killing it as usually on his 1.0s - for example his massive nosebudda dub 10 out off totally fucking nowhere speaks for itself. The rest of it youll see in the webisode. So sit comfy, blast your volume and enjoy the rocknroll!

We would like to thank:

You as an audience - without you, we wouldnt be able to make these.

Matthias Krallinger and his family for letting the smelly crew stay at his place.

Berndt Egger - Absolut Park manager

Martin Bernard for doin this because of his passion.

The crew for amazing experience and everyone else we have met and skied with!
