"Both the JOSS and the JOI will be happening in the spring of 2009, but this time not only in Are... A preliminary web-site with more info will be up in a week! Watch this space for details! / JON" We knew Jon was having a little trouble securing the resort and sponsors needed to host the JOSS. He has been stressing out the past couple weeks but with that said he can now rest a little easier. SkiersRealm is so stoked to see that it is going to happen. With the economy the way it is to not have a riders event like the JOSS and JOI would be a travesty. Via: Jon Olsson Video Blog

Nike 6.0 Ski Takes Winter X Games

by SkiersRealm
Jan 31st 2009 - 0 comments

The 6.0 team started it’s X Games week off right with Simon taking Bronze in the Superpipe. He had come into the contest, naturally, expecting Gold, as many others expected as well. And each of his three runs looked golden until its very last hit, or lack thereof. Just like last year, Simon was by many accounts the best skier in the contest, just without enough half pipe to show everything he could do. Although he had it dialed in practice, Simon went a little bigger in the contest and ended up running out of pipe before he could get his last-hit alley-oop nine. Oh well, third is pretty sick, right? READ MORE... Via: Nike 6.0 Skis

Jan 31st 2009 - 0 comments

This story is not one that we ever like to hear. Riley Poor is the freeskiing industry. Riley is a team manager, friend to all and supporter of a growing sport. This story is straight from rileypoor.com. Check it out and keep up to date and if you can spare a couple dollars his family will be forever grateful. I probably should have posted this first but I think this is worth sharing with all of you out there. It is from an email I sent to Riley’s brother Travis who left for a year long sojurn to South America on last Thursday as chance would have it. I have edited it somewhat of things of a personal nature but the jist of the event that lead to my typing here is from what I remember. I hope that those that were on the scene will chime in with their tale also so that we can all process the accident and move on from it. Shit happens. READ MORE...

There is no better feeling than clicking back into a pair of bindings after dealing with the struggle of recovering from an injury. According to a source close to TJ, he still has worries about the life of his career and how well his knee will hold up this year. With the amount of work TJ Schiller has put into the rehab process, there is no doubt in my mind he will be strong enough to make a huge impact in the skiing community this season. Read More_
