The full story of the Winter X-Games

COREUPT.COM AT THE EUROPEAN X-GAMES TIGNES 2010

The adventure began well before the 10th of March for the CoreUPT.com staff. Work on the future CoreUPT.com stand took place on an unnamed building site somewhere near Lyon. Some of the staff spent a few days on site, bringing a personal touch to the 6 shipping containers, that were then transported to X-Fest village in Tignes for the first ever European X-Games.

The installation of the stand was nothing if not memorable! With the help of a 30 ton digger, the game was to carefully place and pile up said containers. Following that, various days were needed to set everything up on the inside and do the finishing touches (welding, electricity, waterproofing, staircase, decoration, stickers, installing the MINI Clubman…) All was finally finished around 2am Wednesday morning! Phew …

The finished CoreUPT.com stand boasted a presentation of the 2010/2011 ski collection, a CoreUPT.com video game specially created for the event in partnership with youriding.com, and a presentation area for the MINI Clubman. Also on show was Pull-In Underwear, another partner of ours.

The rest took care of itself. The riders arrived in good time (no plane delays this time) and managed to fit in various training sessions, both in the Valpark and on the X-Games features themselves.

And we all met up for a typically CoreUPT.com meal at the Couloir in Val Claret on Monday night (cheers Chris ;-) ).

During the X-Games, CoreUPT.com made a name for itself not only on the snow but on the after-hours scene. Thanks to a partnership with the Melting Pot, CoreUPT.com made this Tignes favourite its HQ throughout the event, and you were not shy in coming to party the nights away!

Between the various artists (Aya Waska, Urban Knights, Eliza Do Brazil…) and the premiere of Candide Kamera 2, we really got the place warmed up!

As far as the team goes, Canada was well represented by our 2 riders TJ SCHILLER and Justin DOREY, and all the Frenchies were in the house; Candide THOVEX, Adrien COIRIER, Richard PERMIN, Julien LANGE, Guerlain CHICHERIT,JL RATCHEL, Flo BASTIEN and Ben VALENTIN.

A special congratulations goes out to Julien LANGE for qualifying for his first X-Games. We wish him the best of luck for the future. We’re all with you Ju!

An equally BIG congrats to Justin DOREY for his 3rd place in the Superpipe, just behind the Frenchies Kevin Rolland (1st) and Xavier Bertoni (2nd).

A good performance was also put in by TJ SCHILLER who finished 4th in Slopestyle.

The CoreUPT.com team thanks all those of you who were able to visit us on the stand and share the adventure with us.

Here’s hoping that these 1st European X-Games have had as much of an impact on you as they have on us!

May the adventure continue …

Listen up, fresh news is in !

Whilst some of our freestylers have been training for the EUROPEAN X GAMES in Tignes next week, our favourite freeider/freestyler Richard Permin has been in Georgia shooting out in the backcountry.

He’s just got back today, a little tired but super pleased with his trip, where the snow conditions were good and the team managed to get a good job done. Unfortunately, bad weather over the next few days has seen them packing their bags for an early return to France.

Candide THOVEX 2nd at the FWT stage in Chamonix

Today the second competition of the Freeride World Tour took place on the slopes of the north-east face of the Aiguille Pourrie in Chamonix, replacing the Nissan Russian Adventure (which had to be cancelled due to very bad weather conditions).
The frenchies turned out to be very good once again, as the podium is 100% French (1st Julien LOPEZ, 2nd Candide THOVEX, 3rd Seb MICHAUD as is Henrik WINDSTEDT). Thanks to his two places on the podiums, Candide has taken the lead of the general ranking. A very good performance which allows us to be totally hopeful for the future steps of the competition and which backs up his entry in the world of freeride.

On the other hand Richard PERMIN finishes at the 15th place and Adrien COIRIER at the 18th.

Congratulations to our team of riders and good luck for the next stages!

CANDIDE THOVEX WINS NISSAN FREERIDE OF CHAMONIX!

Candide wins his first Freeride World Tour event…
After the cancellation of the stage of Sotchi, the unloading of Candide Thovex on the circuit of Freeride World Tour has to await the stage of Chamonix.
A little delay thus, but reassure: the pendulums were given per hour, with an unstoppable precision since Candide Thovex gains this stage in front of Kaj Zakrisson and Tim Dutton… Useless to say that the performance makes a bomb effect !
After its victory in Red Bull Linecatcher, Candide thus confirms the relevance of its choice, and of course the value of its ski…

Adrien Coirier gone 8th and Richard unfortunaly took the 20th place.

We wish them good luck for the continuation of Nissan Freeride World Tour!
We wish them good luck for
