Most of freeskiers  will to decorate their helmets with stickers of their favourites brands, but Gabriel Garcia Fernandez went a step beyond and took his own art to his . Armed with a brush and full of patience, he decorated his with this amazing result.

He proceed the following way:

First of all, he drew the picture with a propelling pencil on the . For those of you who haven’t got so much spare time may help themselves with a template.

To apply the paint- plastic paint- and fill up the drawing, he used a regular brush. Gabi told us that he had to apply more than one layer to obtain the result he was looking for.

To continue with, he varnished the design, and that way protects it from knocks and avoids it being ruined.

We liked very much this idea of customize your helmets, and we encourage you to take the initiative and try it yourselves.

Ski freestyle boots 2010

New article on the freestyle boots we have liked most this season.

Rossignol SAS FS2

The two buckles system allows incredible adjustment, it’s flexible tongue can open a lot to make it easier to put on, has a Flex 8, we liked the simplicity of its design and the contrast of dark brown with gold.

rossignol

Dalbello il moro

The choice of famous Tanner Hall, a boot of 3 hooks designed for park but hard enough to defend themselves in all-terrain thanks to it’s two interchangeable tongues, medium-hard and soft.

This year they have chosen the Rastafarian colors, which t-hall identifies with.

Nordica Game Changer

Although not much is known about the technical aspects of the next nordica freestyle boot, it certainly has a astonishing design and deserved a mention in the article

Dibujo

Salomon SPK Pro Model

The already known SPK returns this year in red and black colors, continue with flex 110.

Highly recommended for its thremodeformable system, which will fully adapt the boot to your foot, which will enjoy all the padding and protections that leads to soft, soft landings.

Fulltilt Booter

A boot completely park orientated, comes with a medium flex tab 6. One advantage of this boot is the possibility of exchanging tongues and the boots are completely thremodeformables. Very cool colors!

Backcountry Jackets

Let’s take this new entry to talk about backcountry skiing and snowboarding, for those days of loads of powder outside the limits of the station when you look for the best lines.

A few jackets of classic design but notable for their lightness and tightness.

Helly Hansen W Silver rush Jacket

For the most adventurous  girls.

The color may look very serious but pink heat-sealed zippers give the point

15000 Tissue water columns and transpiration 15000gr keeps you dry and cool while the Thinsulate ™ lining in its inner layer keeps you warm it before reaching the shelter!

b1

Norrøna Lofoten Jacket.

Norrøna surprises us with this lightweight freeride jacket (930gr), its fabric Gore-Tex ® 28000 mm water haze makes it virtually impossible for water to get through.

We have chosen the yellow lemon color so we are seen right across the mountain!

b4

Haglöfs Couloir Jacket.

Jacket in two parts, a fleece for warmth and a soft shell to protect against wind and snow.

Its 28,000 columns of water and lightweight (875 grams) makes it ideal for access to those faces of the mountain least explored.

b3

Norrøna lofoten one-piece

We saved the best for the end, the entire Norrøna has left us speechless, it is thought for diving in the deepest powder without getting even a bit wet! Available in various colors, but we liked the purple and green one.

Also from , we liked the black Heil. Which contrast the appearance of strong and firm, with quilted texture.

Burton Axel

For our girls we liked the Axel in the printed version.

There are also galactic and bikers versions. Super light to give good jumps.

Rome Folsom

From Rome we have chosen the Folsom, Bjorn Leines model. We’ve chosen them white because the details are in a powerful pistachio color.

K2 Darko

The K2 Darko have personality. They appear as versatile boots for both powder in the early hours as for going to the park when the snow is heavy.

Purple, turquoise, orange … Darko rocks!
