freeride world tour Chamonix

the freeride world tour. Not exactly scott schmitt or glen plake definition of “ski libre” but more of a stunt show…really (really) strong athletes are throwing their bodies down a slope at mac2, no matter what the snow is and huck huge cliffs , trying to make it look good and fluid. Very hard and crazy!
Given the overly sponsored nature of the show, there were about 100 photographers sporting their newly high tech toys….so i didnt really try to take any pictures. i just snapped a few stolen shots.

of the aiguille verte.

so this is what “freerider males” are summed up with: If you want freeriders males to come to your event, just throw average looking chicks inside a plastic bubble (a condom of sort?) , wearing trashy bikinis and have them dance on tacky techno…et voila! you will have a hord of testost-urinaited pigs drinking your tasteless beer and buying whatever shit you sell them! fail!…
