Last week end I was in Les 2 Alpes for a little slushy easy summer session. We were invited to enter this event called Kumi Ama. Last year the first price for this contest was a trip to Tahiti, this year they offered a trip to Japan for the winning team. The contest was a team battle so JJ Roux, Gabirel BEssy + me all from Gap decided to win this ticket to deap powder. But unfortunataly when two of us stomped a good line on the slopestyle someone else felt. We managed to enter the semi final but we’ve been betten off by a better chorégraphie. Well I did pretty well I guess, cause I won the best trick and got a deal with Zoo York. Les 2 Alpes is definitively my favorite summer riding spot! Hope to see you there!!! Bruno

Once upon a time I asked myself: what could I do as a snowboarder to give back something to my passion. As simple as it appears to Wayne in Wayne’s World 2. An almost naked indian appeared in my dream and said, “hey dude you have to organise a big snowboard gathering”. So that what we did, with Brynild Vulin an other top rider from Gap. We started organizing the “Intercrew” 6 years ago. The concept is very simple, we invite crews from all over the alps and Pyrénnés, we shape a very special snowpark and we battle on it during one weekend!!! Classic, you will say, yes very classic. The only difference to other snowboard events is, that in this event there is not much to win, expect a friendly session. Bruno All shots: wise ride

I just came back from a trip to Armenia.

Nothing has ever been made there and it was impossible to grab any information’s on the web so we decide to check it out by our own. First impression it’s cold up there. From the capital Yerevan, we move to a small resort call Tchagazor. So small, so flat and so cold, we decide to visit Sevan lac that was totally on ice. From the town we went hiking in the mountains.

The people there are very poor and their town looked like a freezing ghetto. Well I would say that we didn’t ride as much as expected but we discover crazy landscapes and a strange country that makes you realize how lucky we are to live in Europe.

Arménia- Francia one love…

This week I was invited to Courchevel for the « ride week ». Two riders + 1 cameraman had 4 days to film and edit a 5 minutes movie. I was riding with my friend Brynild Vulin representing the french snowboard scene. We had super good conditions and made lot of footage from big freeride lines to backcountry kickers. But to be honest I didn’t thought this event will be so hard. Even if we stay in a 3 star hotel it was hard to film during the day and edit the movie at night.

Well I will say that Courchevel is a great playground, we found so many spots. And it was funny to compete with freeride skiers who just jumped cliffs and made front flips.

Check out our movie called « the big lebowsnow » its online on snowsurf.com

Have a nice one.
