Banks hard at work with Surface Skis

Young Banks Gilberti has been hard at work this season filming with Surface skis and their new film project "Walks of Life". Gilberti who recently joined the Surface crew alongside Blake Nyman and Jordan Seldin to name a few has been having a good time shredding with the boys and is pretty damn psyched on what the film will have to offer. Surface Skis has partnered with Orage, Joystick, Brighton, Autumn Garage and Breckenridge Resort to make it all happen.

Orage Am Rider Banks Gilberti Helmet Cam

While most of us were grinding away at what ever it is we do, Banks Gilberti among many other was at the Dew Tour at Mt Snow last weekend getting his shred on in front of millions of TV viewers. Now although Banksy didn't take home gold at that event he did strap on a helmet cam to give viewers a close up of the course. Click the link below to see Banksy's steeze and note, there is no music, just the sweet sound of sliding on snow. Thanks to Freeskier for the vid...

Phily Casabon's New Edit

I'm sure many of you have already seen Phil's new edit but for those of you who haven't, click the link and enjoy. Phily has become quite the editing master lately and I would expect some more banger footage in the very near future.
Keep it up Phily!

Orage heads to Magik4 Laval for an autogrpah sesh

Well, the team is nearly here in Montreal for the 1st team shoot of the year and man is it about to get nuts. For those of you who don't know, they can be everything you had hoped for a complete disaster but whatever they turn out to be they're always a ton of fun. Anyway, the team trip will be another story in itself and I'll let you know how it goes once complete.

What I really wanted to tell everyone is that Orage's Global team which includes TJ Schiller, JP Auclair, Michelle Parker and Phil Casabon will be heading to Magik4 in Laval on December 6th, 2008 between 10am and 11am to sign autographs, give away free product and just plain hang out. After that we'll be heading to St Sauveur for the rest of the day to get our shred on. Anyone is welcome to come and hang with us on this day...at least anyone within a reasonable driving distance. Sorry to the rest of you, really.

Anyway, that's all for now...I've got to get this team shoot dialed.

Lates!

Blog Report; Orage
Being new to a team, I guess this is one of those tests you have to go through to prove yourself (hahaha) so here it goes my first blog ever. Movie premieres are over, as I stare out the window in my Math 12 class, snow begins to fall, let’s hope it stays! My home mountain is set to open this Sunday, I will be out doing some laps with the homies and some of the boys from Silver Star. Its goona be sick to actually get out there and get some turns in, because the little rail setup we have up the hill is defiantly becoming outdated. Sun Peaks Resort is my home mountain and I am super stoked to say that the Sun Peaks terrain park is now sponsored by Monster Energy, and that Orage will be putting on a Anti Tour stop here December 27th/2008 which I will be jammin’ at, keeping the vibe high! I look forward to an absolute banger year; filming, traveling, competing and helping out at events whenever possible. From my first trip to the US Open planned for this season to putting on the Anti Tour stop here in Sun Peaks, I can’t wait to see what this season holds. So now it seems only fitting since this is my first blog report to give some praise to the ones who have made this possible; Fergie Cancade and TJ for thinking I am cool enough to roll with the Orage posse. Cody and Sue for making it happen here at Orage, Sun Peaks Resort, Oakley, Liberty, LSL, the parents, Nick Neu, Corey Wiwchar, Aaron Long, and Toby Ianson.
See you December 27th/2008, holler!
