Driven
In a time of 12-second Instagram Reels and disposable TikTok clips – shot on devices that fit in your pocket – Driven bears the fruits of a three-year harvest captured with state-of-the-art filming equipment. From Russia to Japan and Austria to North America, an all-time cast of heavy hitters went all-in in order to capture the most breathtaking shots, in the most unique locations. This film is about what drives us every day to get out there – which in turn hopefully motivates you as the viewer to do the same – to go snowboarding.
Riders: Victor Daviet, Gigi Rüf, John Jackson and Manuel Diaz
Production: Pirate Movie and Red Bull Media House.
Last April, Enzo, a high-level snowboarder familiar with Freestyle World Cups and their frenzy, discovered another facet of his discipline. That of adventure and the mountains. Alone with his snowboard and camping stuff attached to his bike, he goes through the Dolomites for a unique trip blending together splitboarding and freeriding sessions, happy encounters and tough moments. This is more than a snowboarding or road trip movie; this film is about freedom and the limits set by material attachment.
Rider: Enzo Valax
Production: Enzo Valax
Live Music and DJs
There will be some noise in the park… Live performances will happen on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th, Feb. 22, right under your nose while you’ll be flying in the air!

La Boucada
You gonna get some heat on the snow with a Brazilian ensemble made of 20 mobile percussionists. La Boucada plays street music with a set of instruments (mostly percussions) that constitutes a « percussion battery » whose beat (batucada in Brazilian) is the origin of the name. Percussion drums are at the heart of Rio de Janeiro’s samba schools and provide the rhythmic part of their musical compositions. Get a taste right there at our Rookie Fest!
