2:31 pm
leave long. snow queen even though why a bad night is one of the back free riders in the world. catching the way we look at sapping in the most noise on the planet. snowboard skates there are so many ways to get active in the cold weather what is your favorite winter sports even if you aren't that experienced on the slopes there are still many ways to have fun on the mountains have you heard of an s.m.s. or ski fox or ski buckle well these are some of the new s. mountain toys on the market an argument colleague mike a crew headed to the bavarian alps to put them to the test. the slopes belong to the ski and the snow but as nominee that is because right now even begin to meet. over the mountains.
2:32 pm
to be honest i'm not very good in skiing and i will never learn how to snowboard but there's another way to be cool in the snow. at this. region for example you can try out all the fun sports equipment for twenty. to give you some help. or it's no more risky. it's easy to learn. and then one or two goes on the slopes to get used to it appears to be some. time to find out which equipment is suitable for me. and. we started with it as some excess it's a bit like a big but instead of the tightest it has shot skis on the great thing is you can take on the ski lift but what goes up must come down. and what if i can't stop.
2:33 pm
there's more you can break with your feet on me than for you don't go too fast for me to dig your feet into the snow and pace yourself from the cold is your list get not to admit it's a lot easier and it's more fun if you start to do swallows then you cool thing to prove and thanks to all ok let's try out. this piece of of the mundus also in and out on many slopes you take the curves would be a body weight rather than actually stealing it pros can reach speeds of up to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour settle for a lot less but all the same i'm moving. this is a little challenge for me i have to practice a little bit more. now i need a safety hill that. can be risky so it isn't permitted on every slope. of the oh you slide down and you steer with your body to the right and left. it.
2:34 pm
on. top of a good muscle and if you turn it to the side it'll break up it's kind of complicated . but piloting is really easy. and fast right down with beats of up to one hundred kilometers an hour but you do need steady nerves for those who need this simple slope looks like a pretty steep challenge to be on the safe side i don't just break with my feet but with my whole body. i did it fish. being so close with the place over the snow it's a little bit scary. next up the ski folks developed in germany as a comfortable i'll turn it if to skiing it is easy on the knees. ok tell us is
2:35 pm
somebody what is this a stool in the snow versus the ski box ok it just looks like a stool so cool for. talk but enough that i want to take a kurd you can steer it with the skis come to take the handles like this from your lungs them into the snow but. it's not easy to run you'll. be losing my balance ultimately it's yes because your center of gravity is so hard you have to learn how to balance thomas descents elegant lead downhill ninety nine percent of the guinness get the hang of it right away me too but slowly probably because i keep breaking with my feet i'm afraid to take them off the ground in case they topple over. it seems the ski folks and i are made for each other. going to have the hill on the stool is quite shaky but this is the lightest of the funspot selection today it weighs
2:36 pm
just three kilo's and it costs two hundred fifty euros making it also the cheapest . you steer it with your body where you lean in the direction you want to take and to keep from tipping over you glide your hand over the snow. i'd rather use again the safety habits of the dentist come in handy but it's easy to write because i'm close to the ground i'm not afraid. i have really enjoyed trying else all the different kinds of a put but which is my favorite. so at the end of the day my favorite toy for the snow is this what is your i agree with you. those people call is my favorite. but if you don't want to pay the twenty euros to hire that clip meant you can also have fun on the slopes on an old fashioned flat. after an enjoyable day in the mountains i feel elated but pray to tell you to.
2:37 pm
are snow angels something that is almost mandatory in the snow but of course that's not the primary reason why people enjoy the cold weather winter sports enthusiasts are after the adrenaline one man who is addicted to the rush is a frenchman known as roll a man he designed a unique role a suit that is fitted with thirty two rollers meaning that he can glide down any street in many different positions lately he's been adapting the suit for a different terrains and we met up with him in latvia as he tried out his suit for the ice. roller man. is trying on some blades. he shoots down the icy track at seventy kilometers per hour like a human bobsled his head just ten centimeters from the ice. he calls
2:38 pm
his brand new version of buddy roll in the extreme sport invented buggy ice. the perfect feeling is flying feeling. when you make mistakes and you hear that that the noise is changing when and when every ladies is on the right position it just like. when something's wrong as. i sunfire down on for us some fifty kilometers east of the capital and we got. adrenaline junkies come here to race on skates. or hurtle down the loo jad breakneck speeds. and he is the craziest of them all. from france is full body suit is studded with fourteen ice skate blades a prototype that dhoni been tried once before. the first session i got which i loved is intercounty you watch and then you see the people wrong direction the
2:39 pm
trees. going over you and the sky is wrong direction so so if the world is changing around you because of the gravity the direction. this is. in the original version of his suit as the roller mat. he reached speeds up to one hundred twenty kilometers an hour. the thirty two rollers lead him to zip across smooth surfaces in every conceivable position. it may look pretty dangerous but it's meticulously planned out. sometimes i go even by foot to know each corner it's truck it's it's cross world. so i know everything in my head i can visualize in three d. how the street to like so it's
2:40 pm
a question of preparation you don't go just like this. drawing you brando invented is thirty two wheel roller sued over twenty years ago while studying industrial design. now he's selling his invention so much of it has to be done by hand but the suit costs around six thousand seven hundred euro's. he also warns money with t.v. appearances and advertising even if he makes a living from his invention rondo's says it's not primarily about money. when you wear the suit the first time. your. connection to the world is changing you are not you're not a normal human everything you touch the touch wood reels it looks more robotic deeply your identity the image you sent to the other people is different.
2:41 pm
over the years brando is refined his suit more and more modifying it for a variety of services this is the ski version. and he's got his sights set on new goals as well. i think we can go like easily fifty six fifty can return more we've good ironies to work on ironies. i would like to work with some multiples in sight like electric motor was my dream is to be faster than a called st even the flat i want that i can produce. the cheaper that's for christmas choose to buy it. there's no doubt that the suit is a real eye catcher. and it may well be the most impressive and dangerous way to speak down.

became world champion this sport is about far more than speed. it's more about reading the mountain knowing where the cliffs are that i'm going to jump the route that i've wanted. or the other way around about finding a route. i look at the slope from the other side and from above from above it looks completely different. from below it's just rocks but from above it's a little rollover you have to find the exact drop in with the. help of annually since two thousand and eight the free ride world tour is the world's most demanding free riding competition it's held in five stages in five countries only the start and finish lines are set the route in between is clouded

inspiration from sports always come from my grandmother and actually also my grand grandfather was the biggest sportsman in his town and when he won many trophies and and my parents are active and healthy but they're not really competitive in sports so i think it's from migraine grandparents that i got this desire to challenge myself and really to love sports. he believes ice diving is the ultimate in free diving. in twenty thirteen seventy instance that two world records including one for the longest swim under ice holding his breath he swam one hundred fifty two point four meters in one breath he has been tireless in training his lungs when people told me you cannot hold your breath for more than twenty minutes is not possible it's never been done it's a good challenge for me because i think in my mind that i can do it so the trick to become successful i think in life is to dream of course big bigger and then in your subconscious mind believe it so much that it becomes

a natural part of your everyday life. dane has developed a whole philosophy called breathe allergy through training exercises such as these in mexico he was able to expand his lung capacity to fourteen leaders allowing him to take in twice as much oxygen as someone who is untrained. perhaps his most spectacular record to date is the one he gained in two thousand and twelve twenty two minutes underwater without surfacing for air. seven has a ph d. in medicine and a passion for yoga he says the right breathing technique can boost your health increase your brain power and improve stress management and energy levels. he regularly give seminars on the subject and provide steps and training to other athletes. for demonstration purposes he jumps into the icy waters of lake. he dives to ten meters
2:51 pm
without a wetsuit or oxygen tank. his personal record is sixty one meters. it was a great dive when you are under the water you you have different sounds because you are filled with water and you hear the bubble rules so it's a different world. but you also away from the noise from the from the land so it's a peaceful place. severinsen does not plan on pursuing any more records but he says he does want to continue testing the limits of the human body. while like with diving if you think of surfing as a sport you'd most likely picture it being done on warm sunny beaches however there are people on all corners of the world who like to catch a life in the northern aussie regions of norway there's

a group of islands called lu for ten the warmest it gets there is a mild seventeen degrees celsius but the areas become inside to take in the surfing community so not quite the sunny beach experience but if you're lucky you might instead spot the northern lights while writing away. this is one of europe's most northern surfing spots and stuff day in the foton islands it has very little in common with tropical served as the nation's but it's still an experience not to be missed. the water is around twelve degrees celsius so it's warmed just great clear water and once you catch a wave everything else is forgotten. stefan henning from germany is searching for that perfect wave along with many other enthusiasts from australia the u.s. and scandinavia. suddenly they realize they aren't alone in their hunt

a mobile sauna and you can even buy grilled sausages with a credit card but they don't come cheap. if you're not camping at the beach accommodation can cost you more than in some cities. it was surfing that brought mari and friends and father here. he learned to serve as a sailor in australia. my father built the surfboard with his body in one thousand nine hundred sixty three when they came back from sydney and back then there was no internet or surf shop so no one could show them how to do it so they had to figure it out for themselves. this film is actually from my grandmother's fridge. up. this record cover from california's beach boys served as a template for norway's first surf or five decades later now even surfers from sunny california come to in style to ride the waves.
