welcome to our sporty show yesterday we have a special edition of your max's door view and it focuses entirely on winter sports is what's coming up. the road there's no stopping it's dream act leaders don't leave long ago. new queen in the way the valley and i is one of the back three riders in the world. capturing the way we look at setting in the most northerly spot on the planet. snowboard skate 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 as mountain toys on the
5:03 am
market in our german colleague mike a kruger headed to the bavarian alps to put them to the test. the slopes belong to the ski as the snow but as 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 but there's another way to be cool in the snow. at the snow dolphin gemini's i will reach 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 than skiing it's easy to learn on a commuter short of direction and then one or two goes on the slopes to get used to it appears to be some. more time to find out which equipment is suitable for me.
5:04 am
and we started with it as something it's a bit like a beer makes but but instead of the tires 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 could 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 cut off is 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 go to ok let's try out. this piece of the lend us also and out on the nice loves 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 on a set of fallout list but all the same i'm moving. my. business
5:05 am
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 to slide down and you steer with your body to the right and left. over. from. observing the speaker and if you turn it to the side it'll break up it's kind of complicated. god 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 of it for me it's just 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. of fish i did it
5:06 am
fish. being so close with the place over the snow it's a little bit scary. nextstep the skin developed in germany as a comfortable i'll turn it into skiing it is easy on the knees. ok tell us in some ways you know 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. what if it's not easy to run. so i'm already losing my balance all too much 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 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. so. it seems the seat bugs and
5:07 am
i are made for each other. going to have the hill on the stool is quite shaky but this is the lightest of the funds both selection today it weighs just thinking those and it costs two hundred fifty heroes making it also the cheapest part of the speed 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 like. 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 of fun. i have really enjoyed trying out all the different kinds of the footprint but which is my favorite. so at the end of the day my favorite toy for the snow
5:08 am
is this what is yours i agree with you this one with people cross is my favorite. but if you don't want to pay the twenty euros to have that clip lead you can also have fun on the slopes on an old fashioned set. after an enjoyable day in the mountains i feel elated but pray to tell you today. 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. roller man.
5:09 am
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 changing when and when every blade is is on the right position it just like. when something's wrong as. i sunfire ensued good i feel some fifty kilometers east of the capital amiga. adrenaline junkies come here to race on skates. or hurtle down the lose track breakneck speeds.
5:10 am
and he is the craziest of them all brawn told from friends his full body suit is studded with fourteen ice skate blades a prototype that's only been tried once before. the first suspicion i had which i loved is intercounty you watch and then you see the people wrong direction the trees. going over you and the sky is wrong direction so so if the world is changing around you because of the gravity direction and. this is. in the original version of the suit as the roller mat. he reached speeds up to one hundred twenty kilometers an hour. for 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
5:11 am
even by food to know each call no 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 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 we have this with the first time. your. connection to the world is changing you are not. you're not
5:12 am
a normal human everything you touch the 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 more we've good irony so work on ironies i would like to work with 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 junk choose to buy it. there's no doubt that the suit is a real eye and catcher. and
5:13 am
it may well be the most impressive and dangerous weight. on the us now to a female athlete with guts to spare and that's eva wagner of austria she's basis for journalist and a professional free rider which means that she skis off piste is a sport was generally more popular with men but no matter the gender if you're 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 work she jumps off cliffs and rocks that are metres high.
5:14 am
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. it's more about reading the mountain knowing where the cliffs are that i'm going to jump the route that i've plotted. 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.
5:15 am
help of annually since two thousand and eight the free ride world tour is the world's most demanding free ride in competition it's held in five stages in five countries only to 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 strong she can also jump high. 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 falls and injuries she has given up. i
5:16 am
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 the fees women command are not high men of the 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.
5:17 am
strategy is straight up let it get cheap land which she demonstrated most clearly in twenty fifteen after two years off to let a torn ligament heal she easily won a 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 now a woman with drive and discipline who's taking the lead in the male to main extreme sports. hero at its best you're a max brings you the highlights on instagram stunning landscapes spectacular buildings and mouthwatering delicacy our reporters are constantly on the lookout with their cameras we look forward to your comments check out our your maps

instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse student can be. on instagram. isn't it something that we only survive if you have to go without it for twenty minutes you'd think that the results would be fatal but it can be done danish diver stakes evidence and has proven so and he now holds the guinness book well record for 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 these skills into practice at a frozen lake and found. 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
5:19 am
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 in 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 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. from the most dangerous experience in free diving is what we call a blackout so it's loose of consciousness obviously anybody can understand when
5:20 am
you're on the water and you blackout and you do see 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 freediver 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 the 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 it's from my grand grandparents that i got this desire to challenge myself and really to love sports. he believes ice diving
5:21 am
is the ultimate in free diving. in twenty thirteen seventy instance the 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. again 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 and 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. the 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 high and he dives to 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 hear feel water and hear the bubbles so 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. 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 down or 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 lu for ten the warmest it gets that is a mild seventeen degrees celsius but the area's become an insider 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 served estimations 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. and suddenly they realize they aren't alone in their hunt except the orcas simply come here to chase herring and seals they rarely come so close to people. so. this is such a unique place we're here in the arctic one reason to come to the little fortin islands is the great waves and apart from that there aren't too many people here. a visit to the foton islands in winter can also be
5:25 am
a spectacular experience thanks to the northern lights. australian pro surfer mick fanning was in luck in december twenty sixth scene when he got to surf with this panorama for a backdrop. credible . or burning. the surfing base on the low fourteen islands has been around for many years it's 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 learned to serve as a sailor and asked. action ok they're back this month. my father built the surfboard with his body in one nine hundred sixty three when they came
5:26 am
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 more see it up. this record cover from california as beach boys served as a template for norway's first surf or a fine decades later now even surfers from sunny california come to in style to ride the waves. so whether it's surfing diving skiing or having a go at ice skating or skiing fog saying there is no reason to stay inside all winter though i admit a balance is good and being inside is nice and cozy too this is destined for winter coming up later in the way that so morrow it's all about food and drink of the season do join us until then i'll see you on social media buy from now.
