Relive the iconic moments of the YETI Xtreme Verbier by Honda as it celebrates 30 years of freeride history! Going back in time where Seb Michaud sent a backflip on a bar over 24 meters high.

"I hadn't competed in Freeride for 5 years, and I rediscovered the vibe of Freeride at Les Arcs and had an absolute blast. Well, no luck—I fell on my line after hesitating for just two hundredths of a second at Seb Michaud's bar. But some judges came to tell me 'off the record' that I skied like a demon on the top section, which was nice to hear.

Anyone who loves skiing should definitely come to Verbier for the show and the atmosphere; it's a must-do!" Enak Gavaggio

With fierce competition and unforgettable runs, this was another chapter in the evolution of one of the most prestigious events in freeride. Watch as Athletes push their limits on the unforgiving terrain, forever etching their names in freeride history.

01:05This
01:06means a lot to me because it's the biggest event of the year and
01:11It's a really nice venue that we have here back to Ross
01:15It's really nice because it's really scary
01:18Really versatile and it gives me a rush
01:21I
01:24Beg their us directs a possible
01:26Lame your point force for pleasure on free ride because it's super head
01:30But if you want to test a little bit, it's a limit on the level plus limit alpinism
01:36The Nissan Ferrari tour is is the next level from just one single event. It's
01:43qualification system for everybody above the age of 18 to be able to access the final event and to be able to
01:51Compete against the best pros of the world
01:53It's started insurance in Austria in January the best qualified for Flynn where they met confirmed pros and
02:0214 of them got their tickets to Furby
02:05So the tour that the they give us opportunity to to be with the pros, you know to the rocky people that
02:14Have the chance to compare the level with the pros
02:18And actually I'm really happy about that. I don't make too many competitors
02:23Before such as glad for be here and I don't know. I want to do my best tomorrow
02:48Yeah
02:58It is more stable than then
03:01the previous days a bit worried that some little
03:05patches of snow could go but he tested that today and
03:09very little went
03:11you must be aware that there will be sharks at some places and
03:16You should check
03:18the previous photos
03:20And speak with those who have seen the face before the last snorkel
03:25to minimize the risk of
03:27hitting the rock
03:39Did he help each other
03:42I've been riding this mountain
03:44More than Maria and
03:46She's asking me some details about it and for sure. I'll tell her everything that I know
03:56Back to Ross is a big leech style of Elsie Gabbia
04:00And the weekly a sheer ecstasy is a linear to find the flucid is trots
04:05Then they finish a Tyler and that's I'm for fluid sick to my home only even for stacking to fly
04:14All
04:23The lines that the riders will choose they will have a part
04:27That they will for sure know
04:30You don't want to fall here
04:31You want to like ski a little bit safe here and then when I come around this cliff
04:36Maybe I can open up my turns and go faster and more safe
04:41So I don't want to continue part of the summit for just their attention the premier party
04:46He had to be coyote
04:48Don't say that you have a moment of error for what on bed all the time
04:52from all the way back to come on surfers I think I can give you that you can feel confident on the bench to
04:57Commence a accelerate
04:59Cherish a gentleman a difficult take on the soda and the passage technique
05:10I
05:41We
05:43See a big rock that will make me land in the
05:48rather large corridor
05:50before resuming to the corridors
05:52And there on instead of going back on a little path where there is not too much snow I will go directly on the rock
05:58here
06:40It looks good, I have the impression that the snow has settled down a little bit, so there will be a little less of a trap, it will maybe be a little less sluffy.
06:51After that, my line looks good, so I'm going to stay on board.
06:58There is a big jump, bigger than what I'm used to doing, but hey, why not, it's the day to get some big flies.
07:29Bonjour, Guten Morgen, Good Morning, Good Morning.
07:34We're on.
07:49Allez, pas la frangine.
07:55C'est bon je guide là.
08:04We are, we are the youth of today.
08:16We are, we are the youth of today.
08:21Come on, we came changing everything.
08:26We are, we are the youth of today.
08:31Hold on, we are someone.
08:35What happened to our society?
08:40Kids are lazy and watch TV.
08:45They drown their problems in alcohol and do not notice what is right or wrong.
08:57We are, we are the youth of today.
09:02Come on, we came changing everything.
09:07We are, we are the youth of today.
09:12Hold on, we are someone.
09:16Kids get children at the age of twelve.
09:21Smoking cigarettes, they need some help.
09:26They find a way out, commit a crime.
09:31This is the anthem for a better time.
09:36We are, we are the youth of today.
09:42Come on, we came changing everything.
09:47We are, we are the youth of today.
09:52Come shout it out if you feel the same.
10:00If you feel the same.
10:05The youth of today.
10:13You're the reason my heart's so beating.
10:18Do you notice my intention was to make you happy?
10:26But you gave my own chances.
10:29Tell me what can I do?
10:33Cause all I want is you.
10:37Should I hate you?
10:39Should I love in you?
10:42I'll build butterflies in me.
10:59Look at you, damn show.
11:02You're the reason I can't think common.
11:08You're my weakness, you're beautiful.
11:13But high above me I can't stop these feelings.
11:19Tell me how can I do?
11:23Cause all I want is you.
11:27Except from the bottom part I wanted to do another drop of top.
11:32But I think it was fine doing just the bottom one.
11:35It's better that I go instead of traverse and hike, you know.
11:40So it's more or less as I planned.
12:05We don't wanna waste our time with ridiculous casting pop shit.
12:10We just wanna rock and roll.
12:13We don't wanna hear your music.
12:15We don't wanna waste our time with ridiculous casting pop shit.
12:21You're a decision, you're a shame.
12:35Your music sucks, you're all the same.
12:37Your time is up and no one cares about you.
12:42Now you take off your wonder bra.
12:45Cause you wanna be a superstar.
12:48It makes no sense.
12:49You're so famous as a casting fool.
12:53We just wanna rock and roll.
12:56We don't wanna hear your music.
12:58We don't wanna waste our time with ridiculous casting pop shit.
13:05Today the colors disappeared.
13:09I cannot find no matter how I try.
13:12I gotta change to another side.
13:16To the grey I gotta say goodbye.
13:34Today the colors disappeared.
13:37I cannot find no matter how I try.
13:41I gotta change to another side.
13:45To the grey I gotta say goodbye.
13:48I thought I had a place to go.
13:52But I can't find myself, oh no.
13:55Cause now it seems it's moving on.
13:59It's moving on, I gotta move on.
14:03Today the colors disappeared.
14:06I gotta change to another side.
14:09To the grey I gotta say goodbye.
14:12I thought I had a place to go.
14:16But I cannot find myself, oh no.
14:20Cause now it seems it's moving on.
14:24It's moving on, I gotta move on.
14:28It's moving on, I gotta move on.
14:32The backflip I planned was perfect.
14:36For my 10th time here I'm very happy.
15:02I used to give to fear.
15:04To die to death inside.
15:08And this is what they call real.
15:11There's not the truth that I wanna find.
15:22Bring the colors back to my life.
15:28I think I'm gonna lose my sight.
15:36Bring the colors back to my life.
15:39I was able to enjoy the powder these days.
15:42All my friends went skiing, we watched the face.
15:45At the end, the jump I wanted to do,
15:47I got on the rocks, I messed up.
15:49I managed to get out of it and I did the last jump.
15:52It went well.
15:57guitar solo
16:16He's got a thousand names
16:18And a thousand doors
16:21And he can tell you things
16:23You never thought before
16:26But if you see his face
16:28You've got to understand
16:30These are the layers of the onion man
16:34The onion man
16:42He never looks the same
16:45From one day to the next
16:47You try to follow him
16:50You'll only find an X
16:52You can turn the page but it'll never end
16:56These are the lessons of the onion man
17:00The onion man
17:09He's the echo of the past
17:14He's the river smooth as glass
17:20He's the man I want to run
17:24And what's to come
17:27And what's to come
17:29My line, that's what I wanted to do.
17:31Jump a bar in the middle, a small bar at the top.
17:34I think I was relatively fast.
17:37It's really great, I'm happy.
17:40That's what you say
17:45Yeah
17:50It's not what you say
17:54Not about the pain
17:57On the planet
17:59You think you're living on
18:02Not about the life
18:05Of the turtles
18:08Or the extremes
18:11And I just have a plan
18:13My opinion, Captain
18:15I am cool to say
18:17That's what you say
18:19The ride that I am on, it blows
18:22Okay
18:24Turn your music off
18:26Cause I am old enough to know
18:28That's what you say
18:30That's what you say
18:36It's all in your brain
18:38Whereabout and what about
18:41Are memories that
18:43That you just do think
18:47You're important
18:50Yeah
18:52What do you think?
18:54One more brain and you are in
18:57My opinion, Captain
18:59I am cool to say
19:01That's what you say
19:03The ride that I am on, it blows
19:06Okay
19:08Turn your music off
19:10Cause I am old enough to know
19:12That's what you say
19:14That's what you say
19:21Exhausting
19:23That was great
19:25A lot of more rocks than I thought
19:27Big slough on the top
19:29It's scary
19:31I had to change a little bit
19:33From one place to the other
19:35But the cliffs went perfect
19:37And I had a great time
19:39And my legs are pumping
19:43It's a long run
20:02Woke up today
20:04The sun is shining and everything's okay
20:07Inside of me
20:09I am ready to say
20:11All the cute girls I like
20:14What they wear, it's so beautiful
20:16So tight, I can't deny
20:19There's a simple reply
20:22I love this time
20:25Love when the sun always shines
20:31This is my time
20:33I feel it burns inside my heart
20:38I'm myself
20:40Out of control
20:43I feel the heat
20:46And I look here, look there
20:50Summer's everywhere
20:53Go for a ride
20:56Then to the beach and all girls send me this sign
20:59I can't deny
21:00I am ready to fly
21:03What a great, perfect day
21:06My heart is chomping, there's nothing more to say
21:09Working a day
21:11How you forgetting that way
21:14I love this time
21:16Even if I lost some speed on some places
21:19There were a lot of hidden rocks
21:22And I thought there was enough to cross
21:24But there wasn't
21:26Everything else went well
21:27There was a big jump
21:28That really scared me
21:30And I did it, I rested
21:32So I'm really happy
21:36electric guitar plays
21:39electric guitar solo
22:02It took such a long time
22:05To teach me what I know
22:07Now open eyes a little bit
22:10But I don't like what I see now
22:13It was such a hard way
22:16To get me where I am now
22:19Can't accept the loneliness
22:21That I have to face somehow
22:26I'm a paranoid glider
22:30I'm coming down
22:33A paranoid glider
22:36I'm coming down
22:39A paranoid glider
22:41And I'm slowly coming down
22:47In the mud, like a bug
22:50I cannot make a sound
22:52So I managed to follow my line
22:56Just before I was a little bit fast after the first jump
22:59I didn't manage to take a little bar
23:01That I wanted to do on the edge, but it doesn't matter
23:03But otherwise it was perfect
23:05Stopped at 3 a.m.

23:26Bravo Maria!

23:41Makes some noise!
23:52It's my accomplishment today
23:54I've been coming here for 5 years
23:56That I ride this phase, that I try a little bit
23:58And that I touch this podium with my fingers
24:01And today I said to myself
24:03I've done a lot of freeriding
24:05I'm going to give it my all
24:07And I gave it my all
24:09It's really a victory that I miss in Montpalmarès
