Faction Skis Challenges Everyone to be a Freeride Film Legend by Launching he Mobile Video Clip Competition

The independent freeskiing brand, invites everyone with a mobile phone camera to capture and share the spirit of free skiing and win prizes.

The concept is simple. Participants hit the slopes, use their mobile phone to capture their most adventurous moments of free skiing and send Faction their best video clips. Faction will reward the producers and riders with the most creative juices with exciting prizes including a new pair Faction skis and other Faction gear.

Comrade in Chief Tony McWilliam explains, "We got the idea when we saw riders filming each other out on the slopes doing cool stunts and jumps and then watching their mobile videos on the lifts and in bars. There's a real mobile phone revolution going on out there and it is great for free skiing. We have some amazing entrants in our Step Up UK competition which offers a contract for unsigned skiers closes at the end of the month. However, we also want to reach out to the greater free skiing audience and not just aspiring pros. Now anyone who has a mobile phone camera can be a producer, free ski film legend or just share some freeskiing exhilaration with the Faction Collective."

Video clips that best illustrate the spirit of free skiing will be selected by Faction¹s pro rider team based on creativity, adventurous style or humour.

Riders can participate by sending their clips in an e-mail to stepup@factionskis.com or Swiss participants can enter by sending their clip by sending an MMS to 939 with Ofaction¹ in the subject. More details can be found at on onefm.ch and factionskis.com. Winners will get skis, t-shirts, goggles, poles and more provided by sponsors including OneFM and Ski Service.
