An Argentine football player has landed himself in hot water after launching an Eric Cantona-style kick on a rival team supporter. Former Manchester United star Cantona shocked the football world back in 1995 with a kung-fu lunge on Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons which earned him an eight-month ban. And now Audax Italiano striker Sebastian Pol could be handed a similar suspension – and prosecution – after incredibly assaulting a rival supporter after a league match in Chile.
Jump in the van… the Volcom van! Last season the Volcom fleet roamed around North America, making stops from Alaska to Lake Tahoe, some re-fuelling in the Midwest, making time for some rope-tow hi jinx, then escaping into the B.C. abyss at Baldface Lodge. No plans, just shred!

When you’re widely regarded as the most dominant competitive freeskiier the world over, there’s not much you have to prove, so when Bobby Brown turns his gaze from the park to the backcountry, we take notice. With an entire winter spent with backcountry blinders strapped on tight, Brown has been a man on a mission with one resounding goal: Prove to the world that he can take his known skills in the park and slap them right into the backcountry, the land of woods, powder and lofty hand-built kickers.
It was a year of big progression for slopestyle mountain biking’s established stars, with Brandon Semenuk and Brett Rheeder once again leading the way. But the whole lineup of riders in the 2016 series shattered expectations and pushed the sport to an entirely new level. Double backflips, Rogatkin’s 1080, and a bunch of never-been-done tricks we’re stomped throughout the year, making 2016 one of the most progressive years in slopestyle MTB yet.

For the first time in the history of their sport the trio shreds the aptly christened “Flying Obstacle” – a levitating container obstacle that was quite hard to conquer in the beginning, but gave the riders plenty of possibilities for hard tricks. The project was realized and filmed within two weeks in Pula, Croatia, by Starelation with the support of AEE Drones and Cams, and marks the beginning of a completely new chapter in the history books of water sports. Enjoy the ride!
