Joonas shredding down the drop and then smashing the turn infront of Niko before another quick drop to picking up his camera gear was the nicest line I have ever seen him ski. He just needed to take the turn a little higher, so we could have sprayed Niko in the face. This guy shreds. I still want to see a bit more of Joonas skiing. Good video and glad you guys talked through the situation.

It’s nice that Joonas called him out and they talked through it, leaving that part in the video helps set a good example. Hard to have those conversations but it’s really important when you’re out with a group

Managing such a big group in difficult/dangerous situations can be stressful. It’s why I prefer going in small (2 or maximum 3 people) groups.

@@loyalkings24 I think he was right to speak up for the other guys by saying not everyone is as comfortable in that terrain as Niko. Niko was right to leave the rope behind, so he at least was thinking about the group and wasn’t totally off in his own world. It worked out and it was nice to see them talk it through. Managing group dynamics is as challenging as managing terrain hazards at times

Hahah I loved the FWT graphics and sound overlay when Kristofer went down the coulie

Jonas is the goat, what a sport

I fear for these guys getting hurt. I watch Cody Townsend and the years of knowledge and planning that goes into his missions. I watch Nikolai, and maybe it's just the editing and you don't see all his prep work behind the scenes, and he goes blasting over insane cliffs like no big deal. Stay safe my friend, your videos are insane and we want you to stick around.

Haha Joonas had the guiding with clients mentality while Niko was just hanging out with the topside boys! Joonas the steepskier still proving he has the freeride. Also, the rest of the crew had unreal style down that gnarly line! Props to the Turdell

Amazing skiing! I am very jealous! By the way, at 8:30 the additional third-hand safety knot is useless with this rappel setup. If the friction device is not extended away from the body and a fall happens, the autoblock knot will be pushed against the friction device and the knot will stop working! Saying this just for your information and safety. For me, a well set-up backup autoblock in the rappel setup is absolutely essential, especially on terrain like this where you can easily slip or something can fall on you from above.

Wrong. The back up prissik needs to be below your rap device. It will not be pushed against the belay device as you claim. I have rapped thousands of times and hung on it to strip gear etc and it works perfectly. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

@ivo_picha

Жыл бұрын

@@domesticterrorist483 What I mean is that if the prussik is under the rap device and you let go of the rope, the prussik will be pulled upwards and before it has the chance to tighten and grip the rope, its top will be pushed against the rap device and that will prevent it from tightening. I am not saying that the prussik should go above the rap device, I am saying that to best utilise the prussik you need to extend the rap device like Nikolai is doing.

@Mike-oz4cv

Жыл бұрын

Good catch. But it’s hard to tell from the video, maybe the prussik is attached to one of the leg loops? Which would probably put it far enough downwards to engage before hitting the belay device. Still silly to not just extend the belay device away from your body.

@zacherys1223

Жыл бұрын

@@ivo_picha I see what your saying but if you are properly extending your rappel you can safely put the Prussik in the optimal place (below the rappel device) without running the risk of the prussik coming into contact with the rappel device. Extend your rappel from your harness, attaché prussik to belay loop and you have a much safer system than a prussik above your rappel device

What a crew for this episode! I can relate to Joonas as I was myself often in that situation

What a great show of true men settling differences with a bit of rage to start with (throwing the bag), then talking it out like champs. Props for putting this in the video, there are a lot of men in this world who do know how to settle differences efficiently and calmly, this shows how easily it can be done, especially as it was done in a potentially dangerous situation.

Thanks dude, exactly! This entire video was sick, I liked all of it. But keeping that part in is so real and relatable.

Why is this channel not the most watched channel in KZread escapes my understanding!

From the epic footage, to seeing my idols actually scared/concerned and the real talk between Joonas and Niko... what an epic episode. Best content and it's free! Oh and the commentators over Turdell had me laughing out loud, nice touch!

Asbjørn is such a great addition to any adventure!

Jonas MVP (as usual). We still love you Nikolai :D

Great video! Love seeing u guys at Freeride World Tour and even better to see what you guys do behind the scenes! Amazing to see how u guys can respectfully disagree and work out your communication problem in such a short time. Can't wait for your next one!

amazing skiing and to me, the best part was the conversation between you and Joonas. so many accidents happen because someone thinks it’s easy while the other people do not. but very few can point that out without feeling bad at the sport or being a scaredy-cat, it’s a powerful thing to do so! and that you showed that on camera is to us normal people just a great example of how to do sports together thanks 🙏🏻

Woke up to a text from my brother ,on this day, saying: “Schirmer’s behind me, he even said hi cuz I stared so awkwardly” lmao

Oh my god I choked on my beer when you cut in the audio from FWT for Turdell's run, twice! Once at the outset and once again for "cross court". Hilarious.

I met Magnus in 2021 at Ski Lodge Engelberg. One of the most humble and inspiring skiiers. So glad to see both of you adventuring together.

I’m a simple map, niko uploads, I click

the 3 seconds of the boys in the ice cave was great. MORE

That was amazing to see! I love the deep respect for eachother, and that you show of the safety on the mountain! Big ups!

The effort you put into getting to that run was more amazing than the run itself...which the run was beautiful. Perfect example of hard work paying off. This was dope!

Every episode I say this is the best one yet !

Woooow! This episode was just incredible! Amazing crew, settings and cinematography! I loved the part with the FWT commentary and the technical parts. Waiting eagerly for the next one. 🤟

Really nice video! Respect. What I really liked was when you shared knowledge and discussed things how to approach the slope and the decision making. I think these part is priceless because this is a long time real experience. It will be great if you make a whole episode dedicated mainly on that things! Respect and thanks for sharing all these wonderful stories with us!

As a guy in his 30's, I need to say that: I LOVE your professionalism (in really sketchy situations), guys. Nobody's perfect, obviously and when one guy pushes a bit too far, another one is there to re-evaluate. Th'ats a mature group of men that I'm seeing. I see a lot of idiots doing amazing things on KZread but just barely talking about security and not embodying it like you do (checking with the group, sharing the knowledge, recognizing errors, taking precautions, etc.). I would LOVE to tour with you as my guides if it was... well, if my life was like that. Instead, I enjoy waching you doing things I can only imagine doing! :) Thank you for sharing all of those beautiful videos and experiences!

Watching your videos is like being right there in the adventure with you. Keep em coming! And keep up the good work

Producing similar videos on my own, I really appreciate the effort you put into filming! Carrying, unpacking & packing the equipment and taking time for such quality shots is so much more effort than it looks. Also the edit & storytelling is a piece of art, taking you through different emotions and topics. Amazing work, thanks to everybody who contributed!

Loving your channel, keep it up!

I always wait for your videos! Again a master piece! The comentary was the best! :D I liked as well, that you showed the discussion with Jonas! I think wrote not more than 10 comments in my 10+ years of using KZread, but i realy like your content so I had to leave one here! :)

Please keep including the squabbles and disagreements, I really think that's what set this channel and Nikolai apart.

❤ topside has been SO GOOD , THANK YOU

Wow...quite the adventure!!

That GoPro footage of Niko skiing the couloir really had me puckering in my seat. That whole tour was a lot

great video and skiing, the best production as always

Absolutely amazing mountaineering and skiing. Incredible climb with great camera work. Just an awesome short film.

insane as always! keep on going

As always, top notch content, thanks! You were getting pretty close to one of my favourite mountains, as you descended in to the Gadmer valley. Pretty cool to look at it from the other side for a change.

the Titlis Rundtour is really great. I skied it two years ago, but you definitely had better snowconditions. Good job as always.

Aside from Joonas' own badassery, this must have been so fun for him to film ! A real treat - just a chocolate box of wonderful talented skiers, giving him some truly one-in-a-lifetime moments. I mean, from 12:19 onward ? Fantastic !

I really like that you included the exchange with Joonas. These situations happen and are ignored way too often! I'm nowhere near as good as any of you, but I know that feeling of being talked into things (and have also talked people into things...). Communication is key! Awesome video as always!!

this edit is from beyond 👍

Loving it!! Both the skiing, storytelling & editing!! Nikolai, please update your spotify playlists with the tunes you are using.... 🤩

TOP, best ski film crew

Niko, great freakin edit with the audio from FWT during KT's ski through the couly. Always appreciate how relatable and unique your adventures are! Crazy f'in Swede's and Norwegians! ; )

Little advertising for Marker 0:35 ❤️ Awesome video, what a view!

HOLY MOLY, when the camera angle span to the side as they was climbing up that knife edge part. I literally have butterflies watching this seeing it though that angle and how high you are is super scary as the drone shots don’t look as bad but that angle was terrifying. You boys are savage !!

Very nice… some skill levels are beyond - insane

SLVSH Shoutout! Great to see Emil going big mountain.

feels like being there - awesome!

This could be the most bad ass shred party in the history of skiing?!?! 🤩
