In the weeks leading up to the Winter X Games, Bobby Brown spent his time perfecting his tricks on the massive jumps at Breckenridge Ski Resort. An edit of him crushing the freeway booters recently dropped and gives a glimpse into the crazy training regime this freeskier follows.

Bobby will be competing in Winter X Games Big Air Finals, and you better bet he'll be stomping tricks like these, only bigger.

Louie Vito and Bobby Brown are at the top of their game in their respective fields of skiing and snowboarding. Both shred competitively and boast a boatloads of sponsors, including the all-powerful energy drink, Red Bull. This season, Red Bull is producing a series of behind-the-scenes edits that will follow these shred-stars throughout all of their competitions and worldwide travels.

Livin' Louie and Bobby's Life give a glimpse into the lives of these pros and what it's like to live like them. The first episodes just hit the web and show these pros training in the pre-season and getting warmed up on their home mountains.

Who do think is living larger? Bobby or Louie?

In this first webisode of Livin' Louie Vito we start off at the snowboarding Olympian's home in Salt Lake City, Utah before pumping some iron in his favorite gym and hitting the snow park with rider Stevie Bell.

If the folks of Idaho (official term: Idahoans) thought that they could hide this jackpot of soft, sweet powder forever - they were sadly mistaken.

After season one of Smith Optics' Prospecting Idaho hit the web world last year -- shredders high and low were packing their bags and ready to jet off to the Potato State.

Scotty Lago and company shone a light that was hard to miss on the backcountry life of Idaho and all the glorious shredding that came with it. More powder slashes than anyone could ever ask for pour out of this series alongside a crew of serious snowboard talent getting after it in the ultimate backyard park of Smiley Creek Lodge.

Skiers Bobby Brown, Tim Durtschi, and Tyler Ceccanti joined snowboarders Austin Smith, Iris Lazzareschi, Shayne Pospisil, Yancy Caldwell, Tim Humphreys for season two of Prospecting Idaho and they are going big.

Words Smith Optics:

What do you get when you take one of the worlds leading eyewear companies, combine it with a 900 acre backcountry training facility, and sprinkle in some of the worlds best skiers and snowboarders? Well, Prospecting Idaho of course!
Deep in the wilderness of Idaho's Sawtooth Range lies Smiley Creek Lodge, a small wilderness lodge/restaurant/outfitter. It is here that Smith has created the ultimate backyard park. 900 acres of former mining property make up what can only be described as every snow slider's dream come true. The tailing piles from the mine make perfect landings for big kickers, kickers built by a big, bad Prinoth Snowcat. The upper "cirque" area has cliff drops, cornices, and windlips. The trees are thick and deep, and the back side has a seemingly endless expanse of sunny pow fields. What more could one ask for? How about an eight-person cat waiting at the bottom to zip you right back up to the top of the ridge.

Lady and gents, the action packed teaser you've all been waiting for has finally hit the web. After days of speculation of its release date, Poor Boyz Productions surprised everyone by dropping the first look at The Grand Bizarre yesterday evening.

With insane parts from Bobby Brown, Simon Dumont, Dane Tudor, Sammy Carlson and other heavy hitters, the initial glimpse may knock your socks off. From boosting in the backcountry, to getting rough and rowdy on handrails, the skiing in the The Grand Bizarre is outlandishly exhilarating.

Get ready to get weird.

From PBP: Step right up and get your tickets to the all-inclusive action thrill ride of the decade! Take your seat, grab your popcorn and witness the most daring skiers on the planet performing death-defying feats including Bobby Brown's ground-breaking triple cork 1440 and Simon Dumont's one of a kind cubed halfpipe. Nowhere have you seen anything more bizarre than this year's Poor Boyz Productions release The Grand Bizarre...
