The Burn Units - ALIVE - feat Gigi Rüf, Ståle Sandbech & Arthur Longo

Featuring Burn Units snow team riders Gigi Rüf, Arthur Longo, Ståle Sandbech and Mathieu Crepel, this short film by Johannes Östergård explores two contrasting sides of freestyle snowboarding: stylish moves in hand-shaped, natural terrain, and progressive tricks in modern machine-cut snowparks.

Picking up from where burn's Human/Machines ends, POWDER & GLORY explores the two opposite poles of snowboarding—backcountry and contests—and is seen through the eyes of six burn riders at the height of their careers. Riders: Gigi Rüf, Mathieu Crepel, Arthur Longo, Stale Sandbech, Werni Stock and Ulrik Badertscher. Filmed and directed by Mike Hatchett and Travis Robb along with Brad Holmes, Logan Knutzen and Jeff Wright for Standard Films. Music by Baron. LIKE burn on facebook.com...
