years ago. thanks to both dance music and so we're shaping. with. our documentary starts january thirteenth on w. . ill. welcomes us forty show yesterday we have a special edition of your in-box in store view and it focuses entirely on winter sports is what's coming up. the road and there's no stopping extreme athlete to join eve longo. snow queen in the way back and i am
11:31 pm
one of the back three riders in the world. catching the way we look at sapping in the major north on the planet. these 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 the s.m.s. or ski fox or ski buckle well these are some of the new it's mountain toys on the market in our german colleague mike a crew headed to the bavarian alps to put them to the test. the slopes belong to the studios and this nobody know me but it is because right now even beginners like me following the call of the mountains. to be honest i'm not very good in skiing and i will never learn how to snowboard
11:32 pm
but there's another way to be cool in the snow. at the snow caught in over us golf in germany so i will reach out for example here you can try out all the fun sports equipment for twenty euros and fortunately there is always a guide around to give you some help as the. courts know more risky. it's easier to learn need a shorter duration 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. what. we started with and some it's a bit like a beer makes pipe but instead of the tightest it has shot skis on the great thing is you can't take it on the ski lift but what goes up must come down. and what if i can't stop so father. that's more you can break with your feet in for you don't go too fast for me to dig your feet into the snow and pace yourself from the cut off
11:33 pm
is your let's get let's hold your it's a lot easier and it's more fun if you start to do so well then you cool off in the prudent and thanks to all ok let's try out. this piece of equipment is also in and out on many slopes you take the curves would be a body weight rather than actually stealing pros can reach speeds of up to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour but settle for a lot less but all the same i'm moving. my. this is a little challenge for me i have to practice a little bit more. now i need to say to him or anybody can be risky so it isn't permitted on every slow. boat to go you slide down and you steer with your body to the right and left. over. from the comfort of a good muscle car and if you turn it to the side it'll break will be kind of
11:34 pm
complicated. god but piloting is really easy. to pass right down what speeds up up to one hundred kilometers an hour but you do need that in there 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. tissue i did fish. being so close with the place over the snow it's a little bit scary. next up the street folks developed in germany as a comfortable opportunity to ski easy on the knees. ok tell us if somebody what is this a stool in the snow this the ski box ok it just looks like a stool from coffee. talk but enough that i want to take a kurd you can steer it with the skis come through take the handles like this from
11:35 pm
your plunge them into the snow but. what if it's not easy to run your regular thing by bell and ultimately it's yes because your center of gravity is so hard you have to learn how to balance thomas descends and against the downhill ninety nine percent of the guinness get the hang of it right away me too but it's not only 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 box and i make 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 just three kilo's and it costs two hundred fifty euros making it also the cheapest part of the spin you steer it with your body where you lean in the direction you want to take and to keep from tipping over your glide your hand
11:36 pm
over the snow. i'd rather use again the safety habits the dentist come in handy but it's easy to write and because i'm close to the ground i'm not afraid of fun. i have really enjoyed trying out all the different kinds of the plant which is my favorite. so at the end of the day my favorite toy for the snow is this what is yours i agree with you. those people call it my favorite. but if you don't want to pay the twenty euros to have that clip you can also have fun on the slopes on an old fashioned flat. after an enjoyable day in the mountains i feel and later but try to tell you today. are snow angels something that is almost mandatory in the snow but of course that's
11:37 pm
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. 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 this brand new version of buddy roll in the extreme sport invented buggy ice. the perfect fitting is fitting. when you make mistakes you hear that the noise is
11:38 pm
changing when and when every blade is on the right position it just like. when something's wrong as. i sunfire and see good and i feel some fifty kilometers east of the capital and we got. adrenaline junkies come here to race on skates. or hurtle down the loo which at breakneck speeds. and he is the craziest of them all brawn told from france is full body suit is studded with fourteen ice skate blades a prototype that's only been tried once before. the first session i know which i loved is intercounty you watch and then you see the people wrong direction the trees. growing over you and the sky is wrong direction so so it's the world is changing around you because of the gravity direction. this is.
11:39 pm
in the original version of the suit as the roller mat. he reached speeds up to one hundred twenty kilometers an hour. the thirty two rollers let him slip across smooth surfaces in every conceivable position. it may look pretty dangerous but it's meticulously planned out. sometimes i go even buy food to know each corner it's dropped it's crosswords. so i know everything in my head i can visualize in three d. all districts like so it's a question of preparation you don't go just like this. drawing you brando invented is thirty two wheel rollers 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 it to
11:40 pm
suit costs around six thousand seven hundred euros. 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 wheels it looks more robotic deeply your identity the image you sent to the other people is different. over the years brando is refined to suit more and more modifying it for a variety of services this is the ski version. and he's got his sights on a new goals as well. i think we can go like easily fifty six fifty can return more
11:41 pm
we've good irony so work on irony. i would like to work reverse some models in sight like electric motor was my dream is to be faster than a construct even a flat i want that i can produce the suit cheaper that's for christmas choose to buy it. there's no doubt that the suit is a real i'm catcher. and it may well be the most impressive and dangerous way to be down. along with now to a female athlete with guts to spare and that ava wagner of austria she's basis for is journalist and a professional free rider which means that she skis off piste is just false was
11:42 pm
generally more popular with men but no matter the gender if you are an extreme sports athlete you need to be tough courageous and not afraid of breakneck speeds. in the french alps around chamonix at an altitude of some twenty six hundred meters austrian free skier evolved sets out on the freeride world to work she jumps off cliffs and rocks that are metres high. it's great being on the mountain the snow is fantastic so it's lots of fun but. she's a star among free riders skiers who go off piste she's already chalked up several victories in the past free ride world tours in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen she became world champion this sport is about far more than speed.
11:43 pm
it's more about reading the mountain knowing where the cliffs are that i'm going to jump the route that i've parted. you know 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 rule over 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 by each athlete referees award points for every run if one is one of the best. is just talented she hardly ever wipes out she's very fast and technically quite
11:44 pm
strong she can also jump by. itself like no was born just south of sats book she started skiing at the age of creek. she was taking part in international races in one thousand nine hundred five she entered the europa cup for austria in two thousand and ten she switched to free writing even after several injuries she has given up. i take this sport very seriously more so than many others perhaps. i do an extreme amount of training in summer and even in winter. i spend five or six days a week at our olympic center insult sport training for four to five hours a day which is very tough sometimes it can get monotonous in the weight room. is one of the very few women who can make a living from free riding though the fees women command are not high men of the
11:45 pm
same skill level can earn ten times as much from sponsors and advertising. for us women there is a very strong emphasis on movie parts not just for the world tour but for skiing films. the biggest american production companies are ninety five percent men and five percent women so we women have to work very hard at this. well you know what. chris try to g.'s straight up let me get she meant which she demonstrated most clearly in twenty fifteen after two years off to let a torn ligament heal she easily won the free ride world tour for women skiers. i wasn't even expecting it my goal was to make the top five but when i won that's when the tears started. there were any good you know and for growth. of a bike not a woman with drive and discipline who's taking the lead in the male to main stream

11:47 pm
of a holding his breath twenty two minutes on the water as a free diver he regularly puts his lungs through breathing training to get the most out of each dive we saw him put the scales in the practice at a frozen lake in finland. stieg seventy seven is in his element diving without oxygen and with a thirty centimeter layer of ice above him he spends a number of minutes under the surface the water temperature is just one degree celsius. for the danish free diver it's all no problem. going to. many people think that free diving is all about being extreme or just having a kick and doing something and of course when you dive under the ice and the endorphins pumping and you wake up you really feel alive but it's much more than that also i've done several of world records on darius and i think it's

free diving the discipline in which he has sense won four world championship titles . my inspiration from sports has 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 my grain 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

ten meters without a wetsuit or oxygen tank. his personal record is six. one meters. it was a great dive when you're under the water you you have different sounds because you hear feel water and hear the bubbles so it's a it's a different world but you also away from the noise from the from the land so it's 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

rural style surfing to heat up there's a mobile sauna and you can even buy a 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 france and father here. he learned to serve as a sailor and asked. this month. my father built this surfboard with his body in one 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 foam 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 org find decades later now even surfers from sunny california come to in style to ride the waves.
