Another example of taking skating somewhere new. For so long the Alps have been held by the snowboarders in winter and the mountain bikers in the summer. Carhartt WIP are planting the flag for skaters and they took a bit of a risk in the process. In an era of three minute edits in the street we were delighted to see the Detroit brand hire out a camper van and head into the Swiss Alps. It’s a slow burner featuring some beautiful spots and scenery. The sheer incongruity of the shots and some great skating from the likes of Sylvain Tonelli and Hugo Liard made this one of our favourites in 2013.
