The stoke was high and the high were stoked at our annual rail jam. At a brand new venue, this year turned out better than ever. Even the sun showed up for part of the afternoon.
Essex Prescott and Jamie Browne of UBC FreeRide took an early season trip to Revelstoke, BC where we shot for the UBC FreeRide movie scheduled to drop in fall of 2013. Shredding, sledding, and chillin out, watch as we tear through some of the terrain this mystical place has to offer, and scope for lines to be done on future visits. Check out all of UBC FreeRide at: ubcfreeride.com Thanks to Cariboo, Rockstar Energy Drink, Dissent Labs, UBC Ski and Board, and ROMP outerwear.
The first ski segment of the Freeride RAW video series. Balancing school with our passion for skiing and the outdoors.
First off if you haven't seen our newest Freeride RAW, check it out here: vimeo.com/63126997 This video was filmed during the hungover hours of a weekend spent in Whistler. We introduce our first year "junior", chug some beverages, and poke a little fun at our man Essex. We also give you a sneak peak at skiing's favorite snowboarder Garrett DJ Knochenmus,shredding the gnar, and reciting some aggressive poetry (Mercy). We like to fall sometimes too. Enjoy.

There may be snow on the ground but we wanted to kick off the season with an edit of our activities this previous summer. Skating, surfing, biking, cliff diving, and waking up with no memory of previous nights, it was a fun time. We're stoked for there to be snow on the ground like everybody else, and we look forward to releasing a series of banger new ski edits throughout the season, so stay tuned! Thanks to Rockstar, ROMP, Cariboo, and Peace Coast Skateboards for this one. Hope you enjoy!

It's been a Hell of a Season trying to get some solid pow turns in with that dry spell of snow out here in BC earlier on. But with some recent storms and more skipped classes, we were able to get out and compile a bunch of footage. After getting carried away with filming we decided it was about time to dump some footy on the internet to make room for some more, and maybe for some lecture notes for school?....... Nah. Stay tuned for the Idaho Urban edit dropping ASAP, and for our vid from the upcoming Bralorne Backcountry Picnic. ALSO to check out some of the outerwear worn in this video go to Romp.com .
With a lack of snow in early season BC, UBC Free Ride planned a trip to Idaho in search for some Urban. With so many spots it was hard to choose what to do first but here's what we made out of our 3 days in 'MURICA. Presented by Romp.com. Check it out for some high quality and low priced goods.
UBC FreeRide visited the Bralorne Backcountry Picnic last month to take part in ther annual video competition. After rolling into the small town, it wasn't too long before most of the town had converged to a small urban jump we had shaped for a film session. Aside from the wicked moonshine induced hangovers there was plenty of snow to be had and friends to be made. Hope you enjoy!
Essex Prescott, Dylan Siggers, and Leo Zuckerman got tired of summer and threw together Team Vacation's edit for the World Heli Challenge. Toss us a vote at http://worldhelichallenge.com/2014/08/team-vacation/
UBC Freeride had an awesome season last year shredding around Whistler and the local backcountry. Here is what Peter Wentz got up to during this time. He would like to thank Prior Snow, Dissent Labs, UBC Freeride, and ROMP Outerwear for their support throughout the season! Insta -- @pwentzy

Those guys with those helmet cams again... POV and b-roll from the Under the Weather crew's season, as it unfolds!
When we were kids, our imagination took us places we'd never otherwise be able to go: to the places with soft snow and big flakes. We dreamed of riding down steep mountainsides and through mysterious snow-capped forests. We always wondered what this world would look like if we could bring along our closest friends. With help from 40 UBC Freeride athletes, the paths of inspiration are revealed to lie both ahead and behind us in time. Which ever way we look there is always someone to follow.
Filmed entirely in 7 days for the World Ski and Snowboard Festival?s Intersection competition, each film had to include 30 seconds of on-resort footage (at Whistler Blackcomb), 30 seconds of park footage, and be shot within 100 km of Whistler. To Follow is a product of this competition which has been re-edited for online release.
