maze north on the planet. is snowboards 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 the s.m.s. or ski fox or ski buckle well these are some of the newest fountain toys on the market and our german colleague mike a crew headed to the bavarian alps to put them to the test. the slopes belong to the skiers and the snow but this nominee that 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 but there's another way to be cool in the snow. at the snow caught in obama's
2:32 pm
dolphin gemini's i will be true for example 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. supports no more risky. it's easy to learn. direction and then 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 as something it's a bit like a beer makes but 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. 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 because it
2:33 pm
was your list good luck to admit it's a lot easier and it's more fun if you start to do so then you cool from the curtain and thanks to all go to poke a let's try out off. this piece about the let us 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 onset of fallout list but all the same i'm moving . my. things a little challenge for me i have to practice a little bit more. now i need to say to him that anybody can be a risky so it isn't permitted on everest you know. you go you slide down and you steer with your body to the right and left. it. on the top of a good muscle and if you turn it to the side it'll break up it's kind of complicated
2:34 pm
but i piloting is really easy. it costs right down with speeds up up to one hundred kilometers an hour but you do need that you know a bit for me just simple slope looks like a pretty steep challenge to be on the safe side i don't just brake with my feet but with my whole body. of vision i did it pish. being so close with the place over the snow it's a little bit scary. next to the ski folks developed in germany as a comfortable i'll turn it it's just. easy on the knees. ok to us and 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
2:35 pm
plunge them into the snow route. but it's not easy to run you're right you're losing my balance old muskets yes because your center of gravity is so hard you have to learn how to balance thomas to send out a good lead downhill ninety nine percent of beginners 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 speed folks 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 taking those and it costs two hundred fifty euros 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 you glide your hand over the snow. i'd rather use again the safety habits of the
2:36 pm
dentist come in handy but it's easy to write because i'm close to the ground i'm not afraid of fun and. i have really enjoyed trying out all the different kinds of equipment which is my favorite. so at the end of the day my favorite toy for the snow is this one and 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 a high of that clip lent you can also have fun on the slopes on an old fashioned set. after an enjoyable day in the mountains i feel elated but pretty tight to. are snow angels something that is almost mandatory in the snow but of course that's
2:37 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 different terrains and we met up with him in latvia as he tried out his suit for the ice. 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 roll in the extreme sport invented body ice. the perfect feeling is the feeling. when you make mistakes you hear that that the
2:38 pm
noise is changing when and when every blade is on the right position it just like. when something's wrong is. i sunfire and see good and feel some fifty kilometers east of the capital and we got. adrenaline junkies come here to race on skates. or hurtle down the luge track breakneck speed . and he is the craziest of them all brawn told from friends is full body suit is studded 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 wrong direction so so if the world is changing around you because of the gravity direction. this is.
2:39 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 truck it's crosswords. so i know everything in my head i can visualize in three d. how the strip looks 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 but the
2:40 pm
soup 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. you all connection to the world is changing you are not you're not a normal human everything you touch the touch with the reels 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 set on a new goals as well. i think we can go like this is easily fifty's if you teaching
2:41 pm
at a mall we've good irenaeus to work on i really need i would like to work reverse some models in sight like electric motor was my dream is to be faster than the car and street even a flat 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 get your. and it may well be the most impressive and dangerous way down. on the us now to a female athlete with guts to spare and that's eva wagner of austria she's both a sports journalist and a professional free writer which means that she skis off piste is
2:42 pm
a sport wasn't generally a more popular with men but no matter the gender if you're an extreme sports athletes you need to be tough courageous and not affright a breakneck speed. in the french alps around chamonix at an altitude of some twenty six hundred metres austrian free skier evolved sets out on the free ride world to work she jumps off cliffs and rocks that are metres high. instead of well it's great being on the mountain the snow is fantastic so it's lots of fun. she's a star among free riders skiers who go off piste she's already chalked up several victories and passed free ride world tours in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen she became world champion this sport is about far more than speed.
2:43 pm
it's more about reading the mountain knowing where the cliffs are that i'm going to jump the route that i've quoted. 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. health annually since two thousand and eight the free rider 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 plotted by each athlete referee's award points for every run is one of the best. talented she hardly ever wipes out she's very fast and technically quite strong she
2:44 pm
can also jump by. itself was born just south of sats book she started skiing at the age of three soon 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 riding even after several falls and injuries she hasn't given up keeps her going in. 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 women command are not high men of the same
2:45 pm
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 many of. 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 tried a genius straight up plan to get cheap land 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 now a woman with drive and discipline taking the lead in the male domain of extreme

2:47 pm
a holding its breath twenty two minutes 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 and. stieg seventeen thousand 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 freediver it's all no problem. with. 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
2:48 pm
a fascinating journey. around an hour and a half north of the finish capital helsinki steve's ensign is attending an international i starting meet 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 free diving 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 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
2:49 pm
a discipline in which he has since won four world championship titles. my 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 my grand 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 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 it's 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 preval logy 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 high and he dives to
2:51 pm
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 through so it's a different world but you're 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 down a room sunny beaches however there all people on all corners of the world who like to catch a life in the middle of an arctic regions of norway there's
2:52 pm
a group of islands called lu for ten the warmest it gets that 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 far 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 salt 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 wave along with many other enthusiasm from australia the u.s. and scandinavia. suddenly they realize they aren't alone in their hunt
2:53 pm
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 low fourteen 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 a spectacular experience thanks to the northern lights. australian pro surfer mick fanning was unlucky in december twenty sixth seen when he got to surf with this panorama for a backdrop. credible he started. barking orders. the surfing based on love fourteen islands has been around for many years its rural
2:54 pm
style surfing to heat up there's 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 france's father here. he learned to serve as a sailor in australia. my father built the 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 shops no one could show them how to do it so they had to figure it out for themselves. so this form 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.
2:55 pm
so whether it's surfing diving skiing or having a go at ice skating or skiing foxing there is no reason to stay inside all winter though i admit a balance is good and being inside is nice and cozy. this is destined for winter coming up later in the way so morrow it's all about food and drink of the season do join us and until then i'll be on social media by now. on the next euro max special it's the time in germany but why are so many germans drinking and. getting into one of switzerland specialty cheese fondue. and traveling to new heights in austria. for a taste of kaiser schmock that and more on the next edition of your all max.
