Danny MacAskill - The Slabs: With many of our overseas filming plans cancelled as a result of recent times myself and the crew decided to look a little closer to home for our latest film. I am a big fan of rock climbing and have been inspired by the various men and woman who set new routes and test themselves on some amazing faces around the world so I set out to find some challenging lab rock routes on my home Island of Skye with an aim to ride them in a continuous line and test what was possible on my bike. The remote Dubh Slabs rising out of Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Black Cuilin ridge provided some of the steepest terrain I have ever ridden as well as an amazing backdrop for the film. The remote location and steep face forced us to think outside the box and meant we had to move away from traditional filming techniques, with us opting to shoot the entire film using GoPros mounted on myself and an FPV (First Person View) racing drone.

Trey Jones - The Lot: With the world a little closed off at the moment and travel a little weird, Sparkys USA brings the riding to us with The Lot.
Discussing Skateboarding With Director Werner Herzog: Werner Herzog is a pillar of cinema — a pioneer known for his prolific output, quick wit, and uncommon approach to film. He’s a guy who brings a true sense of uniqueness to an industry increasingly overrun with superheroes. But what does he have to do with skateboarding? Technically speaking, nothing. Werner has no background in skating. But I believe he is one of us. He preaches maxims like getting the shot by any means necessary, carrying bolt cutters everywhere, and thwarting institutional cowardice with guerrilla tactics. His entire career has been built on a DIY approach to life, his craft banged into existence through decades of trial and failure. Because Werner’s approach to living and filmmaking mirrors the ethos of skating in so many ways, I decided to track him down to chat about the similarities and differences between our two worlds.
Nora Vasconcellos "Rendezvous" Part : Roll up and rendezvous with Nora V as she hits epic spots from Maui to San Diego in her heavy new part. Come for Nora's stylish trick selection and stay for that Nicki track. This part's going to require a rewatch.
Deathwish Skateboards' "Uncrossed" Full Length Video: Deathwish destabilizes any sense of sanity with hellacious hill bombs, kinked rail madness, and moves so buck they defy definition. The bar has been raised.

The Shadow Campaign - The Lonely Star: An ill-fated explorer finds himself marooned on a desolate planet.

Edited by: Matt Wade.
Blind Faith - Whistler Blackcomb: Mac Marcoux is one of Canada’s most decorated para-athletes. Now, after a year sidelined by injury and skiing with a new, unproven guide, he will attempt to redefine himself as a skier by taking his racing pedigree into Whistler Blackcomb’s extreme alpine terrain. His goal is to do more than just ski lines that are impressive for a blind person, Mac wants to change the way people see adaptive athletes. To do this, he needs the support of his new guide and friend, Tristan Rodgers. If they succeed, Mac will become the world’s first blind freeskier. If they fail, his career as an athlete and his Olympic hopes may come to an end. As the pair square off against the challenges of the mountains and push their boundaries to the limit, they fight to stay healthy and inspired, all while training to earn a spot on the 2022 Olympic Team.
The World's Strongest Brothers: A portrait of brothers Luke and Tom Stoltman.

Those meals were like some ridiculous epic ride food fantasy. Ten pancakes, ice-cream, Haribo, 10 eggs and bacon. I've bonked and had those thoughts.

I'm good for the week. Thanks, FB!
I'd be interested to know how ski vs snowboard numbers stack up when you compare countries where snowsports are part of growing up to countries where snowsports are not part of the culture and you have to go discover it for yourself.
But would agree that the CULTURES are more similar between mtb and snowboarding.
I get your original point though. There are lots of people who ski who don't have any interest in the 'action sports' world. Snowboarding and MTB would seem to be more culturally aligned with each other, in terms of image, marketing, culture and the use of words nobodody over the age of 20 should be using anymore.
