the chance is to do good to see you back because the tribute to the bridge should government be. the road to. the bridge into systems. family star general richard. t.w. . in the movie. welcomes us forty show yesterday we have a special edition of your view and it focuses entirely on winter sports as what's coming up. the road a man there's no stopping it's dream act leaders don't leave long ago. snow queen the evil bad night one of the bad free riders in the world.
1:31 am
can't you wait we have a setting in the maze north 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 the s.m.s. or ski fox or ski buckle well these are some of the new it'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 as the snow by this nominee that is because right now even begin is like me following all of the mountains. to be honest i'm not very good in skiing and i will never learn how to snowboard
1:32 am
but there's another way to be cool in the snow. at the snow caught in a hole bust often gemini's i will reach out for example here you can try out all the fun sports equipment for twenty euros a day fortunately there is always a guide around to give you some help. or it's no more risky. it's easier to learn need a shortage than one or two goes on the slopes to get used to it has to be some. time to find out which equipment is suitable for me. and. we started with it and it's a bit like a beer makes but but instead of the tiredness 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. there's more you can break with your feet on me than for you don't go too fast for me and i dig your feet into the snow and pace yourself from the cut
1:33 am
off was your last good luck to you but it's a lot easier and it's more fun if you start to do swallow then you cool off in the prudent and thanks to all ok let's try out off. this piece of a good medicine also and out on many slopes you take the curves will be a body weight rather than actually stealing pros can reach speeds of up to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour and set a follow up list but all the same i'm moving. my. days is a little challenge for me i have to practice a little bit more. now i need to say to him i am boarding 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. on. top of a good muscle and if you turn it to the side it'll break up it's kind of complicated
1:34 am
. god but piloting is really easy. to pass right down with feats of up to one hundred kilometers an hour but you do need steadier for that for me it's just simple slope looks like a pretty steep challenge to be on the safe side i don't just break the by feet but with my whole body. tissue i did fish. being so close with this place over the snow it's a little bit scary. next up the street folks developed in germany as a comfortable and turn it into skiing it is easy on the knees. ok to lessen some but you know what is this a stool in the snow versus the ski box ok it just looks like a stool some coffee. talk but enough that i want to take a curve you can steer it with the skis comes with take the handles like this for
1:35 am
your plunge them into the snow but. what if it's not easy to rock your whole body losing my balance ultimately it's yes because your center of gravity is so hard you have to learn how to balance thomas descents alleghenies downhill ninety nine percent of the guinness get the hang of it right away need to 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 the ski buckle is the lightest of the funspot selection today it weighs just think heroes and it costs two hundred fifty kilos making it also the cheapest form 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
1:36 am
over the snow like. i'd rather use again the safety helmets the dampest come in handy but it's easy to write because i'm close to the ground i'm not afraid of fun . i have really enjoyed trying out all the different kinds of a put that. 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 this one those people call is my favorite. but if you don't want to pay the twenty euros to hire that clip let 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 tie it to. our snow angel something that is almost mandatory in the snow but of course that's
1:37 am
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 out some blades. he shoots down the icy track at seventy kilometers per hour like a human bobsled his head just ten centimeters from the ox. he calls this brand new version of buddy roland the extreme sport invented buggy ice. the perfect feeling is the feeling. when you make mistakes you hear that that the
1:38 am
noise is changing when and when every blade is on the right position it just like. when something's wrong as. i sunfire into good to not be out some fifty kilometers east of the capital i'm a guy. adrenaline junkies come here to race on skates. or hurtle down the loo jag breakneck speeds. and he is the craziest of them all brawn told from friends his full body suit who started with fourteen ice skate blades a prototype that's only 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 trees. going over you and the sky is the wrong direction so so it's the world is changing around you because of the gravity direction and. this is.
1:39 am
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 let him slip across the 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 crosswords. so i know everything in my head i can visualize in three d. how districts like so it's 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 it to
1:40 am
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 but always says it's not primarily about money. when you wear this for the first time. your. connection to the world is changing you are not. you're not a normal human everything you touch in touch with the 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 surfaces this is the ski version. and he's got his sights set on new goals as well. i think we can go like that is easily fifty six fifty can return
1:41 am
more we've good irenaeus to work on irenaeus i would like to work with some models in sight like electric motor was my dream is to be faster than the collins treatment of i want that i can produce the suits cheaper that's for christmas choose to buy it. there's no doubt that the suit is a real i'm catching. and it may well be the most impressive and dangerous way to be and. i know it's now to a female athlete with guts to spare and that ava wagner of austria she's basis for as journalist and a professional free writer which means that she skis off piste is
1:42 am
a sport was 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 sets out on the free ride world to walk she jumps off cliffs and rocks that are metres high. and that awful 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.
1:43 am
it's more about reading the mountain knowing where the cliffs are that i'm going to jump the route that if i did. 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 and with the. help of annually since two thousand and eight the free rider world tour is the world's most demanding free ride in 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 is one of the best. is just talented she hardly ever wipes out she's very fast and technically quite
1:44 am
strong she can also jump high. if i can i was born just south of sats book she started skiing at the age of three. 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 falls and 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 insults 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
1:45 am
same skill level 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. kris tried and she is straight up let it get she meant what 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 any good you know and for growth. of a bike now a woman with drive and discipline who's taking the lead in the male domain of

underwater as a free diver he regularly puts his lungs through breathing training to get the most out of each dive we saw him put these skills into 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. and for the danish freediver 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 roll records on darius and i think it's

a fascinating journey. around an hour and a half north of the finish capital helsinki stig's ensign is attending an international i study meat it's being held at lake pine and. despite all the merriment they all know that diving in these conditions especially without an oxygen supply is a risky business. the most dangerous experience in freediving is what we call a blackout so it's loose of consciousness obviously anybody can understand when you're on the water and you blackout and you lose consciousness it's very dangerous because in a matter of a few seconds you will drown and you will sink to the bottom and then you die so that's why you should never free diving alone. is evidence and has been fascinated by water all his life as a teenager he was a keen swimmer and also played underwater rugby. then he started specializing in

free diving a discipline in which he has since won four world championship titles. my inspiration from sports has always come from my grandmother and actually also my grain 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 that from my grand grandparents that i got this desire to challenge myself and really to love sports. people leave i started think is the ultimate in freediving. in twenty thirteen seventy instance the two world records including one for the longest swim under ice holding its breath he swam one hundred fifty two point four metres in one breath he has been tireless in training his lungs when people told me you cannot hold your breath 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 wet suit 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're here filled with water and you hear the bubbles through so it's a different world but you also away from the noise from the from the land so it's peaceful place. the steam 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 arctic regions of norway there's a group of islands called loofa 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 on stuff day in the foton islands it has very little in common with tropical surf destinations but it's still an experience not to be missed. the falls of the water is around twelve degrees celsius so it's warm just great clear water and once you catch a wave everything else is forgotten. stefan henning from germany is searching for that perfect way along with many other enthusiasm from australia the u.s. and scandinavia. suddenly they realize they aren't alone in their hunt

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 francis father here. he learnt to serve as a sailor and. i shan't get it back 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 or five decades later now even surfers from sunny california come to in style to ride the waves.
