Every Monday Skipass.com offers free and exclusivly a different part of Mad In France, the PVS movie (ex SVP) which came out at Fall 2009. Mad In France has been awarded two prizes at the IF3 and includes a large part of the french freestyle & freeride scene , including CoreUPT.com riders Richard Permin, Guerlain Chicherit and Justin Dorey.
Guerlain has sent us a little message to keep us updated about his trip with Adrien Coirier, Xavier Bertoni and Enak Gavaggio.
‘‘Kamchatka at last, but no phone or internet…We’re staying deep in the mountains, an hour and a half away from the nearest town…Apart from that it’s a totally amazing place with crazy mountains, and the snow is coming tomorrow… Otherwise, to pass the time, we go skidooing, but we’ve already broken two… 8 roll-overs for me yesterday and 1 for Xav today… 15 days is gonna be long…

Developments on the MINI front!
Inspired by its partnership with CoreUPT.com, MINI is launching the Country Man, its new crossover vehicule that will bring the town to the mountain and the mountains to town.
To mark the occasion, a big, open air, ‘altitude’ convention was held in Megeve just before the X-Games, where MINI introduced its latest baby to its numerous French dealerships.
Guerlain Chicherit, Richard Permin and Adrien Coirier took to the stage before120 people to present CoreUPT.com and the partnership with MINI that keeps going from strength to strength.
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 …
The 17 skiers and snowboarders (out of 25) who competed in the Freeride World Tour final on the ‘face du Bec des Rosses’ in Verbier this weekend, are going to have to compete all over again; the weather window not being wide enough to get everyone through.
As far as the skiers are concerned, saturday’s runs will not count, since less than 2/3 of the skiers in the starting line-up were able to compete. Just one more skier’s run was needed to meet the two 3rds rule…… Neither Sverre liliequist, Candide Thovex, Tim Dutton, JT Holmes nor Jérémie Heitz were able to do their stuff.
If there is no break in the weather before next Sunday the 28th of March, the Xtrem de Verbier will be completely cancelled, and it’s the current Freeride World Tour rankings that will count. Henrik Windstedt will thus be crowned the winner.
If this final stage does take place, what might be the strategy of our Candide Thovex, on this somewhat intimidating face, where he does not appear completely at home?
Rumour has it he was planning a 360 off the ‘Voirol’. But a head to head with Guerlain Chicherit (before the cancellation) suggests otherwise. “No 360s … He was talking about it, but last night we decided to play it safe, to get to the bottom, and to earn points for the World Tour rankings. We’ve been working together quite a lot these last few days, and Candide wants to finish in the top 5, not necessarily go for a win. He has a really nice line planned, with loads of little quick jumps. He’s going to play with the terrain and do his ‘cat’ thing … assuming he’s got the legs to make it to the bottom. He’ll be in the main ‘couloir’ and will hit the ‘Voirol’ like everyone else, but he’ll also throw in a few tricks that no-one else has done before.”
Full Moon Freeride in Tignes: Well done Guerlain!
Short recap of the 2nd Full Moon Freeride, which once again saw Guerlain Chicherit victorious.
Tuesday 2nd March, and the Evolution team are in action, preparing for this 2nd edition of the nocturnal freeride event, being held on the renowned Tufs face. All the riders are suitably kitted out, with head-lamps, flashing DDE style vests, and of course that faithful probe-shovel-transceiver threesome.
As with any freeride competition, the judges can be found at the bottom of the face. This time it’s from the frozen lake that they will choose between the 20 or so riders, according to the following 5 criteria: choice of line, fluidity, control, freestyle and daringness.
One run follows another for around an hour, with original lines, sick straights between the rocks, a few backflips and a couple of crashes that turn out not to be too serious. Local Guerlain Chicherit once again dominates this second edition of the Full Moon Freeride. Congratulations to our champion who deservedly takes home the title for his only race of the season!
