It was an amazing few months, jam-packed with travels all over the globe to Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada, Courmayeur, Italy, Chamonix, France, Kirkwood, California, Fieberbrunn, Austia, and Verbier, Switzerland. The schedule was crazy, and the jet lag took a while to recover from, but the experiences of travel, freeriding, snow, and events were unbelievable. I cannot wait for what 2014 has in store for the FWT. Now I have a few free months... ]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:30:00 -0400 14051 2013-04-29 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130121-00274-1367271006.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130324-00428-1367271006.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130124-00289-1367271007.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130207-00337-1367271008.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130125-00295-1367271008.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130307-00380-1367271009.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_img-20130308-00394-1367271010.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14041-oetztal-sessions-emanuel-moosburger http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/14041-oetztal-sessions-emanuel-moosburger In the past view weeks spring has finally arrived here in Austria, the cold and snow has vanished of our valley grounds, uncovering the near by blocs in the Ötztal from their hibernation... I personally love winter for all it's beauty and pleasures it offers here in the center of the Alps, hiking up the mountains and ride powder really can catch up with climbing that's for sure! But at the same time I can't wait to escape the crowded and dusty gyms and go climb for real again as soon as the local crags are on. ... ]]> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 09:39:00 -0400 14041 2013-04-24 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_flomurnig-tumpen-the-drunken-master-8a-1366796344.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_flomurnig-tumpen-9138-1366796344.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_robin-hood-8a-fa-screenshot-1366796344.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13370-world-cup-imst-loic-timmermanns http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13370-world-cup-imst-loic-timmermanns Last weekend, I participated at my first world cup this year in Imst, Austria. One week after the European cup.I liked the comp even if I noticed that I need more power and strength for performing. Nevertheless, I climbed well : I got stopped because of time in my first route, not far away of the top and that's what I didn't get to the semifinals. Time really became a limiting factor and the way you get to the top doesn't matter any more. It's seems that the rules want that we climb fast but that the beauty of... ]]> Sat, 18 Aug 2012 17:12:00 -0400 13370 2012-08-18 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc00195-1345309929.JPG http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_dsc00192-1345309929.JPG http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13259-la-coka-nosrta-video-superbe-bloc-in-tyrol-austria-emanuel-moosburger http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/13259-la-coka-nosrta-video-superbe-bloc-in-tyrol-austria-emanuel-moosburger Footage of sending "La Coka Nostra" V12 in Oetztal, Tyrol, Austria this spring.

These words always sound a bit strange in the context of mountain biking but have become regularly used when it comes to bike alpinism, bike mountaineering or whatever you want to call it. All these terms try to describe the adventurous combination of high Alpine mountains and self supported trail riding. You can become addicted to this type of mountain biking, always in search of higher mountains, steeper and more technical trails or simply some mountain nobody has ever been to with a bike just to make the first descent. ]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:53:00 -0400 12727 2012-03-12 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1040074-bw-1331542385.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1040104-bw-1331542385.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1040114-bw-1331542386.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_p1040024-1331542386.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12453-between-a-rock-and-a-schnitzel-climbing-in-zillertal-and-imst-joseph-gifford http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/12453-between-a-rock-and-a-schnitzel-climbing-in-zillertal-and-imst-joseph-gifford After two weeks of being in Rodellar and climbing some amazing rock Alex, Josh, Nick and I took a flight to Zurich and drove to Imst, Austria for the Youth World Championship.

It's background isn't the typical "found line-bolted it-climbed it" one, it has a different story to tell... In the mid 80's of the past century, Gerhard Hörhager, Austrian sportclimbing pioneer and living legend, bolted a line going through the middle of the north face of the "Wächter" bloc at a crag called Ewige Jagdgründe. As the wall was totally blank he drilled some holds, which was a common thing to do back then, and climbed the route, calling it "Hounts of Love", 8a. ]]> Sun, 20 Nov 2011 10:45:00 -0500 12314 2011-11-20 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Love 2.01_1321785918.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Love 2.02_1321785918.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Love 2.03_1321785919.jpg http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/_Love 2.04_1321785919.jpg
