DC SHOES: The Underline Series – Volume 7: Ryan Tiene & Devun Walsh

Devun Walsh and Ryan Tiene spent more time in the backcountry last year than a Canadian Mounty. This shared ender completes this season’s Underline Series and leaves us all with a slight sense of jealousy.

Carlos, Jj and Matty venture away from their playground at Cardrona to try something new for them all – Heli boarding with Harris Mountains Heli Skiing.

Norway is to pro snowboarders what Japan is to sushi, and Scotland is to whisky: sure, other countries produce them, but not in the same quantity or quality. Which is a mixed blessing if you’re a snowboarder. The level is so high, that on one hand it pushes you to be the best rider you can be. But, on the other, it’s insanely hard to get noticed – some of the best snowboarders in the world are unknown, unsponsored Norwegians.
