Freeriding is not only a sporting discipline but also a mental one. It is the
\nmind which pushes a rider to challenge his own limits and face up to an
\nextreme descent, or set off to explore an unknown region.<\/p>\n
It is this interior aspect which comes out most in Freeriders. Eighteen
\ninterviews with skiers and snowboarders, both present and past, who have left
\ntheir indelible mark on the world of freeriding and powder. Through their
\nwords and stories the profound reasons emerge which pushed them to face up to
\nchallenges and sometimes even risk their lives to feel free and leave tracks
\non their dream slopes. For many of them choosing freeriding was not the
\neasiest option.<\/p>\n
They abandoned a much easier and less dangerous path, in order to express
\nthemselves in a way which represented them most, that is, with freedom and
\nbeing in contact with nature. The lines they have tracked are partly the
\nsignature of their soul and their way of being. For this reason, at the end of
\nthe interview, each of them has described a line which best describes
\nthemselves, a line which to all intents and purposes is a symbol, a signature
\nwhich has marked the evolution of freeriding.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
