Luka and Noah have had seasons to remember. With video parts in the bag with STEPT and 4bi9 for the 14/15 winter season and a handful of edits that have blown the freeski community's minds, we think big things are on the cards for these two rising stars. Find-out about their breakthrough season and their plans for the future in this Newschoolers interview.

Amplid HQ just got word from team rider Kevin Salonius about his time at the SuperUnknown finals in Snoqualmie, Washington. Read Kevin's full account of "the best ski trip" he's ever been on and check-out some snaps he took during the week.

As far as we're concerned an Invite to the Superunknown Finals is the Golden Ticket of the 21st century. In this three minute update movie you'll see the 10 selected riders living the dream and gloating about it. We expect Amplid Team rider Kevin Salonius is having the time of his life!

The first week of May is untouchable in the freeski events calendar. Now in its eighth year the West Coast Session has become THE event to end the winter season on. Luka, Noah and McRae joined the pilgrimage this year and ended-up bagging a handful of awards between them.

As far as spring shred missions go, AK has to be the ultimate. Amplid friend Oli Holzmann did exactly that with a group of friends and legendary mountain guide Clark Fyans. Here are some shots of Oli shredding AK on his Amplid Morning Glory 163 and Creamer 166.

The Superunknown finals are scheduled for this week in Summit resort, Snoqualmie, Washington State. Cartel Nationals rider Kevin Salonius is currently mid-flight on his way to compete for the title of Superunknown champion 2014.

Cartel team rider Dash Kamp is hours away from releasing a long awaited edit featuring some of his highlights from the 13/14 winter season. He posted this little clip on Instagram so we thought we'd propagate the hype!

The invited riders list for 2014's West Coast Session are live. Amplid team riders Luka Melloni, Noah Albaladejo and McRae Williams will be travelling to Timberline resort in Oregon next week for ski season's final event.

Life can be a bitch sometimes. At one point everything is going your way, your skiing level is going through the roof, you're getting noticed, you sign to a new ski sponsor, life is good. Then one slip-up on a rail and you're laid up for three months after ACL surgery. This was Tanner's season.

Last weekend the Amplid Demo Tour hit Stuben for one of its last outings of the season. The weather forecast for the weekend at St Anton's little neighbour wasn't looking good, but the Longboard Classic was in town so we knew the turn-out would be good.

Yesterday McRae Williams added another podium to his winter's tally by winning the Total Fight slopestyle contest in Grandvalira, Andorra. This year more North Americans had made the trip to the Pyrenees for Total Fight but that wasn't going to stop McRae from claiming the top spot for a second year in a row.

Last week French Ambush team rider Julien Vilmin made the journey from his home in the Pyrenees to the Spanish city of Madrid for the Spanish leg of Volcom's Peanut Butter Rail Jam. 3rd place and 150 Euros probably made the trip worthwhile!

Every year the Rideaholikz park crew in Davos run a small contest. Riders from around the Swiss resort show-up to compete for the hoard of goodies awarded to the winner. Ambush rider Aaron Berger stormed the contest with all manner of inverts and hand plants.

Cartel Nationals rider Alex Neurohr was hanging-out with a handful of international pros in La Plagne, France last week for the Shred It Kevin Rolland Invitational. Kevin and his crew built an enormous step-up jump in the La Plagne backcountry and Alex was one of the riders invited to session it.

This week, with fresh snowfalls and sunny weather, French Ambush riders Nico Antony and Morgan Sauerwald ventured deep into the backcountry to a secret spot called "La Sambuy". They were greeted with perfect conditions and incredible terrain.

Big congratulations to French Ambush team rider Nico Antony who truly whipped-up the white stuff in the Tignes leg of the Temmos Freeride Series, a FWQ event, and ended-up on the podium in 2nd place.

Finnish Ambush team riders Anton and Niklas just returned to their winter home of Breckenridge after a short spring roadtrip to Cali. On returning to their condo they were greated with a package from HQ with some fresh gear.

Two weeks ago Cartel National Rider Alex Neurohr was in Samoens, France for the "Bet on Orbit" contest. Alex went home with a fat cheque for winning the "Best Style" award... the award that everybody wants to win!

Although McRae will not be travelling to VARS in France next week for the VARS Tournament, he still managed to share poster boy duties with Gus Kenworthy. McRae was in VARS a couple of weeks ago for the SFR tour and spotted the poster.

Yep the B&E Invitation is without doubt the hottest ticket in freeskiing this year. Forget the Olympics, the B&E Invitational in Les Arcs, France will see some of the most creative riding ever seen... oh and team rider Pako Benguerel got a ticket!

Congratulations to team rider McRae Williams who finished off his brief French vacation with a 3rd place finish in La Clusaz at the SFR Tour Finals. With only 1 point between third and first place, the contest was a nail biter until the end.

Business in Spain definitely has a charm about it. Amplid's Spanish and Andorran distributors Fernando and Javi invited a handful of key retailers to Freeski and Snowboard store Cota at the base of Baqueira-Beret to show them the new line and enjoy some Cava & Oysters. Class!
