We've always appreciated the French, not to mention their strong snowboard culture that seems to transcend any preconceived COVID limitations. It's crazy how a little bit of determination can lead you all across France, Eastern Europe, and even Kiev. Watch Brust Studio's most recent film, and hear about their experiences below.
"Here we go for our 3rd short movie, Connexions. This movie is a Connexion between people, cultures, know-how, and so much more. For this project we mostly stayed in France, COVID locked us in our country but fortunately, we had some really good snowfalls at low altitudes! We cruised from the alps to the northeast in Alsace/Vosges. We rode an abandoned ski jump from the 68’ Olympics in Grenoble, a train next to the highway, some French vineyard, and a lot more.
Then we flew Eastern Europe for a 3 weeks trip to Kiev, Ukraine. We discovered another culture, different architecture, and welcoming people! They just had one of the biggest snowstorms in years. We found a cool snowboarding community and really esthetic spots.
In this project, we focused on originality on our spot selection, natural speed, and 1 spot per rider."
