Nikolai Schirmer and Sam Favret are "The Draconians" - full movie

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

Still can’t believe we scored those lines🤯😍 Thank you for an amazing experience team!

[@snqw11]

niko you make the best movies

[@snqw11]

someday i will be as good as you

[@jessehoule1]

I just bought my first 2 pairs of ski's. Got Black Crows because of your videos. Mirus Cor for the resort and Atris with pins for touring. Thanks for all the awesome content!

[@Nikolai_Schirmer]

@@jessehoule1 now that’s a solid combo!! Enjoy✨

[@ThePlaylists001]

You are the dream sponsee. Brilliant move by Black Crows to have you as one of theirs.

[@ChicosBailBonds-hb8nx]

That shot 24:40 with the sluff spilling over the cliff, Sam racing meeting it perfectly and racing it to the bottom...Chef's kiss!!

[@xyskis]

Another masterpiece in skiing, videography, and storytelling. The only thing that was a bit confusing was following the sequences of Sam vs. Nikolai as they discussed the climbs and ski descents; ended up being a very enjoyable mashup of awesome skiing in Lyngen!

[@emmanuellazorthes8368]

For me the best freeski film of the 2023 year ! Sam Favret is a one of the most esthetic rider on the world and became more and more professionnal since his "Backyard Project". Congratulations and welcome to BC team.

[@julianefedova5776]

I rarely comment on any videos, but this film was just breathtaking and absolutely amazing!! I couldn't hold myself together while watching this and now I'm walking around sending it to everyone I know lol Greetings and a lot of gratefulness from Russia and your fellow skydiver. Couldn't help but notice similarities in our sports, which makes me want to bring this level of production into my community 🤩

[@theos6848]

Black Crows upping their video game with Nikolai and Sam! So excited for this! Been following Nikolai for years

I like the film, but I just gotta say, I really missed those storytelling elements of Niko's videos. I love when the process of getting to the line is shown, the struggles are shown, the story of the day is shown. It makes it so much more real and it enables to connect with it just that much more. At least for me. Here I was shown a bunch of beautiful lines in a beuatiful scenery with amazingly good skiers. But what director wanted to say with this movie remains lost on me. But still, the best 30 minutes of the day anyway=)

[@blackcrowsskis2006]

Thanks for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed the movie. The idea with this project was to let Niko and Sam, let Max the movie director tells their story while they focus on exploration and performance. Max takes on their adventure is sure different from what you seen on Niko's channel, but it was also part of the plan ;)

[@itsonlyme4812]

Yeah - and the decision to include the guys talking to each other, but blasting the music way too loud over them ? Hmm.

[@flurryofsnow]

I personally think the director was showing that skiing can be an art if portrayed with the correct cinematography.

[@caderosche]

That last line skiing near the cliff edge was mind bending!!!

[@andreasritter5955]

what a great collaboration! Two crazy ski minds joining forces and explore the beauty of skiing in Norway! Compliments to the film team...amazing how you captured the moment, nature, conditions!

[@aushwallaushwall5532]

It's just great... This is what I call Passion. When you love what you are doing everything wraps around you. I wish I could be a part of this, Well done !!!

[@Stomperproductions]

Man that shot at 24:40 was insaaaane!!

[@erictolo173]

The cinematography is incredible. Framing of the shots and perspective of the vast mountains is phenomenonal!

[@jensen1050]

Gotta mention the excellent music, fits the visuals so well!!

[@tristanbasse]

🙌

[@АнтонБойко-ю2ч]

Колян как всегда на высоте, смотрю и наслаждаюсь!!!! КРА-СО-ТА!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Huddorenge88]

Ridiculous the quality of the footage you’re able to capture. Absolutely extraordinary.

[@jochemsterckx3259]

Amazing... I have been watching all your vids for the last 4 years. Lovely to see the evolution as well in footage, storytelling, like you said honoring the surroundings. Props too Joonas as well. But this film stands out to this point. Insanely good footage, well edited, the story of why you are doing this. The mix of both teams blended very very well👌👌👌

[@brendanlanglois2865]

Amazing movie, beautiful shots and editing and incredible skiing on some seriously impressive terrain. I've been snowboarding for around 20 years now, slowly gaining more skill and confidence but have never really ventured outside the resorts or into any terrain as steep and technical as what Nikolai and Sam ski in this movie. Watching Nikolai's channel for a while, and now this movie is really inspiring me to get out there and push myself to try bigger and more challenging things. Thanks for creating great content!

[@crisvelardi1984]

Thank you for the amazing experience, that was just incredible. The filming was also very well done. You guys are perfectionist at your best.

[@annarepetto2430]

Nikolai, thank you for your storytelling! My partner and I, who have been hitting the backcountry for the better part of 30 years, love your videos. We're "over the hill" and will never ski the extreme, but we always find solitude and face shots in our little corner of the world. Your documented backcountry journeys always resonate with us. Thanks again! We'll have to check out Sam's videos now. Peace!

[@johnburden4925]

This was so amazing! You guys are so gutsy with those lines and the filmmaking was incredible

[@SimplyBllisss]

Beautiful footage. Amazing skiing. Absolutely fantastic film.

[@samuelfrank9816]

Those lines where crazy! One of the best skiing videos I have watched!

[@Arnie777nvc]

Ski movie of the year. This is everything and more. Thanks for this beautiful piece!

[@RinilaGasse]

This is insane. Ever since I found Nikolai's content (created by or featuring) I have watched everything, and to repeat what I also read below: I share it with all my ski friends. Keep up this great work!🙏

[@whatvest]

Incredible shots throughout this film! Stunning!!!!

[@MRiedy]

Just…WOW! All of it Niko! Ripping the sickest of lines and faces. Awe inducing cinematography. Keep killing it man…

[@jdubbsvt85]

Such a well documented, filmed, and skied journey! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@gabrieldavis5458]

The cinematographey and story telling is just next level as always I’m incredibly impressed after watching a Nikolai film

[@scottmh]

A beautiful film. Beautiful skiing, filming editing and storytelling. Those couloir runs gave the me chills!

[@antoninfromont8465]

taff incroyable, film incroyable, images incroyable, équipe incroyable...bref...

[@zmiliute8530]

Wow guys this is just a dream, that crisp snow mmmm I bet the feeling going down it's unbelievable ❤

Everything amazing. But the shot at 24:50 was powerful.

[@domesticterrorist483]

Merci, tusen takk. What a visual treat.

[@BlurredVisi0n]

I love the commentary on ski movies bringing such an individualistic sport together. Thoroughly enjoyed this as I do all of their content. I also bought the skis and love them. Black Crows bagged some legendary athletes here haha

[@mathieugermain8499]

Just wow. Great movie.

[@маратЕрмухамедов]

It's a beautiful movie. Beautiful mountains and beautiful descents!

[@simonbrizard3426]

This looked wild.

[@steveilg6134]

Beyond Wor(l)ds… Thank u from high Colorado 🙏🏾

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

having to turn on and off subtitles constantly is brutal.

[@blackcrowsskis2006]

If you choose the right subtitles (french or english), not the automatically generated ones, you should not have any issues.

[@TLFILMS]

Congrats

[@benjaminmartinez9569]

So f*ucking epic! I wish I had access to this type of terrain. Good work boys 👏

[@fjordbear3050]

No fckn way dudes, crazy good movie! Big ups, cheers!

[@paultrudel9791]

Niko is there anything you won't/don't ski? I do double blacks but what you are skiing here is insane. The title 'Draconians" fits perfectly, extreme skiing to the max. You and your crazy friend Sam (among others) are cutting some incredible lines. Great video and cinematography. Peace Out

[@JD-fr7rm]

excellent movie - the sense of freedom of the sport and the environment comes across
