Xavier De Le Rue Finally Loses the Plot

Following the release of the latest episode of the Swatch Timeline the men in white coats are coming after Xavier De Le Rue. Conditions in Europe and in particular the West Alps have been pretty poor this season; some French resorts haven’t seen snow for almost two months. When your whole riding career is based on freeriding and in particular freeriding in powder, you need to get inventive when there’s been a drought. In the case of Xavier’s latest riding exploits there’s a fine line between being inventive and being completely insane. See for yourself, the man doesn’t have a screw that isn’t loose.

Episode 5 of the Swatch Timeline series

Sluff and Ice: Fully Committed with Xavier de le Rue

You got to take risks to reach the next level of riding, find new kind of spots, play with the terrain and use your creativity. Xavier de le Rue doesn’t see the mountain like you and me. Without a decent snowfall in weeks, Xavier kept himself busy anyway this past month in the Alps. The crew found and filmed spots that should make it in Standard Films TB 20 and next VideoGrass movie. In these conditions sluff and ice make for some radical lines. Witness Xavier de le Rue as a big mountain jibber in this latest episod of TimeLine.
