Salomon Freeski TV Season 9 Teaser

Stay tuned as they launch new episodes, and more importantly, cross your fingers for deep snow.

A journey through the Atlas Mountains - Lonely Planet travel video

In this short opener to Lonely Planet’s Pathfinder series in Morocco, we’re treated to some gorgeous visuals of the Atlas Mountains, village markets in Tanaghmeilt, as well as the Cascades d’Ouzoud waterfall. If this doesn’t inspire you to start looking up tickets for the Marrakesh Express, we don’t know what will.

Nau’s Story of Recycled Down, Episode 1: Design

The Story of Recycled Down - Episode 1: Design | Nau 2015

Nau is committed to sustainability in their entire line, so it should come as no surprise that this year their designers figured out a way to recycle used goose down. Using a cleaning process, they are able to restore the loft of each piece of apparel to a like new condition. We’ll be following this series on their Fall/Winter 2015 line closely as they role out more transparency initiatives for the environmentally conscious consumer.

Robbie Maddison’s Pipedream POV Edit

Action Cam | Robbie Maddison's Pipe Dream POV 4K | Sony

If you haven’t seen the full video for Robbie Maddison and DC’s project Pipe Dream, stop what you’re doing and watch it right now. Not every many people are crazy enough to even think of “surfing” on a motocross bike, and even fewer athletes who can pull it off. We spotted this little behind the scenes look put together from Robbie’s helmet and on board cameras, while doing some research on our new Sony Action Cam. We doubt we’ll ever film anything quite this epic, but expect a full review of this powerful little camera soon.

The Program Movie Trailer

The Program - New Official Trailer - In Cinemas October 16

The rise and fall of Lance Armstrong is alternatively a heroic effort and a soap opera. Far from casting the fabled Tour de France winner as a benevolent Titan, The Program looks like an much more brutally honest account of the rampant doping in cycling in the last two decades. No word on a US release date, but you can bet we’ll be there on opening night when it does come out.

You may remember Nau's series on recycled down from our very first video round up. They are back at it in this second installation, detailing how they source and inspect goose and duck down from many second hand clothing sources. After being inspectede for waste (it seems that some retailers pass off inferior chicken feathers as down), the sorted down is further separated by quality so that it can be treated for recycling. Stay tuned for the final episode soon.

One Seven Eight
Black Diamond: BDTV S1 - Episode 1: One Seven Eight - Backcountry Skiing
Earlier this year, Henrik Westling became the first person to climb and ski all one-hundred-seventy-eight peaks in the Jämtland region of Sweden. Over his six year odyssey, he discovered that undertaking such an endeavor is not just about the skiing, but finding a balance in life - every step we take brings us closer to the summit, but also to finding happiness with ourselves, our family and our work. Black Diamond's tribute to his accomplishment is the first installment in their new BD TV line up that will explore unseen elements in the ski and climbing industry. We can't wait for new episodes to drop soon.
The Making of the "Dirt Blizzard"
The Making of the Dirt Blizzard Segment - Mind the Gap Episode 9
Teton Gravity Research's unReal pushed the boundaries of action sports film making, and was our original inspiration for the "Road to Adventure" series. Now you can go behind the scenes with their team to see the making of the infamous Dirt Blizzard segment. Unfortunately, they didn't figure out how to make perfectly formed, hero dirt fall from the sky, but the process the team went through to make each shot happen will give you a new found respect for the work that goes into all of your favorite short action films.
Fjallraven Fall Trouser Line

What's with denim anyway? If you haven't noticed, we're big fans of Fjallraven's fall line this year. Their G-1000 fabric trousers have survived thousands of feet of vertical rock, long days of travel, and dozens of miles of backpacking since we snagged a pair of the Outdoor Retailer Show in August. They've teamed up with famed photographer Chris Burkard to profile the whole line this year, and we're excited to see what is in store.
Lenny's Garage
Lenny's Garage
Lenny Shiller has a collection of fifty-eight vintage cars under one roof. In Brooklyn. When we stumbled on this film by Peter Crosby, we couldn't believe how extensive his collection is, or how he had managed to find that kind of space in New York City. Lenny's passionate caretaking is evident in every corner of his garage from the lovingly rebuilt engines to the stockpiles of spare parts. He considers himself simply a custodian for each of his vehicles, hoping that one day they will be passed on to someone else with as much a sense of awe for classic craftsmanships he does. If only there were more men like Lenny.

Every ‘Creed’ and ‘Rocky’ movie, ranked
Where does "Creed III" fall on our list of the best "Rocky" and "Creed" movies?
Sylvester Stallone and Michael B. Jordan in Creed.

Good sports movies are fairly easy to come by, but great ones can be almost impossible to find. Over the years, the Rocky and Creed franchises have produced movies that fall into each of those categories. When they're good, the movies in this franchise are among the best fighting movies ever made. Even when they're only okay, though, they're still pretty great sports movies.

With the recent release of Creed III, it feels like the appropriate time to take stock of the entire franchise and determine which Rocky movies rise to the top and which ones sink to the bottom. A great Rocky or Creed movie can take a wide variety of  forms, but what matters most is the emotion it evokes in the viewer, and how authentic those feelings are.
