Start Of The 2010 Season

Three weeks into the season and the Afriski Park for 2010 is starting to take shape. Pictured above is Errol Krauss on the canonbonk feature dug in on the weekend of the 26th of June. The plan for the season is to set up a fresh signature feature every weekend. New video clips will follow soon so keep coming back here!

African Short Stories Part 2

The final vid from 2009 with riding from the last few weekends of the season and the biggest kicker Africa has ever seen. From this clip it can be seen that the SA snowboarding scene has come a long with only the sky and the ability to fabricate more snow being the limits.

Kings Cup 2009

As promised and apologetically after a long time here is the start of the roll out for the videos from 2009. Highlights from the Kings Cup Snowboard Slopestyle event for your viewing pleasure.

End of the 2009 Season

The 2009 winter season is officially over. The last weekend up at Afriski saw slushy conditions which meant early mornings and late evenings to get in on the best riding conditions. Head Afriski Park technician Ruben Storbeck pushed an epic 30ft kicker for the weekend and helped us dig in and groom a sweet box hip setup for a night shoot on Saturday. Big ups to all the riders (Stefun, Mamo, Smarta, Marci, Kat, Claude, Mattress, Ruben and Wade the punisher) who made it up to Afriski for the weekend and especially to Ruben for providing such a sweet setup.

Planet X Insert

This is the original clip sent in for the Planet X TV insert in 2009. If you caught the show when you watch this you'll notice they edited the beginning and the end, and changed the music. We feel the original as seen here was the business!!!
