Here's a barrage of Freeride madness from the FWT CHamonix 2013. Everyone always says that true progression happens when people take freestyle moves into big mountain terrain, and we definitely saw a lot of that on the last two tour stops.

Once again, the FWT happened while we were sleeping last night. Actually, the snowboarders started streaming live at midnight which was awesome to watch after a few Friday Night beers. This is the future baby, and if the future means we get to watch Big Mountain Comps, nicely edited, as they happen, then the future's all right for me.Hit up www.freerideworldtour.com for full write-ups, replays...

Hey man....you remember that time in the early 80s when we were riding that filthy line in europe, laying out tasty slashes in our sandal strap bindings, and we got chased by like 25 monoboarders? Then we aired that train to get away from them and once we were back in the alpine we went paragliding, then we took some rafts through some pow and then jumped out of a hot air baloon?

Just Acro reported the news on their website earlier today. Antoine was known for his speed flying descents of the Eiger and for skimming the cable line on a lift in Chamonix. He was 30 years old.
