Between 1:49 and 2:02 it's the Lenzspitze north face. I've climbed this face a month ago and i can tell you, it's mind blowing to know that some poeple go down by ski/snowboard !

[@dasburke]

I once heard about two kinds of snowboarding.. the kind before XV, and the kind after XV. respect

[@BenDunster]

I'm a skier, but that was one of the best things I've ever seen.

[@thuunderstorm]

3:33 dude thats insane...

[@doodledux7]

How I'd love to do some of those lines. The thought of just being on top of some of the steepest mountain ridges and boarding down them is just unimaginable. Absolutely heart-pounding stuff!

[@misterfunnybones]

Xavier doesn't go snowboarding; he goes ice-axing.

[@willawrence27]

3:31 has to be one of the craziest things I've seen

[@cichlidbro8566]

Nothin' but HUGE choppy lines throughout! This is takin' it to a whole other level! The way he holds his edge at 4:00 is incredible!

[@iSpankesU]

Cichlid Bro yeah fucking crazy!

[@jamesjackson414]

Really is superman. Some of those walls are vertical yet he manages to not fall forwards and tumble to his death. Even when he did tumble, he was back on the board in seconds. immense. epic.

[@j-why4359]

Pure crazy. At 4:00 craziest heel turn of all time. Down a 2,000 foot ice wall. I stay on groomers when it is icy. 😞

[@EHSounds]

Dude how the fuck is he nailing these lines?!! I've watched many films and videos on ski and snowboard but this has got to be some of the craziest lines i've seen someone do.

[@dundeedolphin]

+Nebula Because he's the best.

[@sonnymolina8748]

I have only skied a couple times I loved it but and ever since I have found this KZbin videos and watching you Snowboard straight down of these Ridges it’s incredible and such scary Mountains I make it a point to pray 🙏🏽 for all of you that do this it’s Amazing what you do

[@shaunlaue9305]

Xavier just keeps getting better as time goes on! This man is pure heart!

[@1iturburu]

That was INSANE, good work.

[@Alex-jb8rd]

Absolutely amazing.

[@RobsBodgecast]

Awesome! Truly inspiring.

[@cockboy12]

by far one of the funnest and most intense sports in the world.

[@Asentro76]

This is the most cinematic snowboarding vid ever

[@lalaha22345]

i hate how they dont use the first person view i mean these guys have a camera attached to their helmet why not use it a little more

[@kosycat1]

The straight lens shots are wayyyy better quality. The go pro distorts the shot and makes it look not as steep but it does look cool

[@danieldevine5347]

A lot of the time it will get covered in snow

[@PhaseSkater]

@@kosycat1 uh the gopro angles looked pretty steep in this

[@lottis1675]

Well, I would definitely die. If not from the fall, then from a heart attack.

[@pimpintad]

Me and you, pal!

[@ReizSwety]

Ca c'est du snowbaorder Francais !! et superbe edit Xavi :)

[@brennon_]

Song: Auto Rock Artist: Mogwai

[@Logan-ge5qm]

This part literally prove that Xavier Is the best snowboarder in the world, with Terje very close behind him.

[@1b0o0]

Best freerider yes, he is insane and one of the best ever, of course. Best snowboarder? Nah, not the best freestyler, not the best in pipe nor the best jumper.

[@Logan-ge5qm]

+Alvaro Ybañez snowboarding is at its roots freeriding is it not?

[@1b0o0]

Skippy Mcgibberson since you brought up Terje... Terje outclasses Xavier in every other aspect. He is more "all-around". I'd put Terje over Xavier tbh. Also Travis Rice as he is a great freerider but can also handle every other aspect of modern snowboarding. Xavier is one of the greatest though.

[@mougabo]

to me Xavier is like a shaman or a spiritual guide..... he does things that no other human can dom great source of inspiration......i could write all day what looking at what he does makes me feel, then to me the guy that makes me want to have fun is Travis for sure..... I see what he does and I want to go bananas trying to do at least half of the crazy shit he does...... and then when I see Kazu flying in the air...... im like "holly shit" To me no one is better than the other..... they are the best in their own , each one of them is the best.....

[@MarioZcr]

Jeremy jones in the Himalayas

[@deed1145]

[@adrianhuysman3331]

Sickest boarding I have ever seen

[@SStirling070]

This should have won part of the year.

[@justinwinters6355]

This dude is nuts!!!!

[@kaydendemello5197]

Bro nice vid

[@MrUFCFan12345]

Epic music, shots and riding. Just fucking beautiful moar!!!

[@exansis]

so insane. i could never imagine how it must feel like to climb down a mountain side like that...

[@dirtbidder]

You know you are dropping in on something gnarly when you need to have an ice axe in your hand!

[@vegaa]

This is too crazy :D

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

epic! could do with a full fun pov though!

[@TikooSux]

Truely amazing. It's funny to think that he's snowboarding where no human being has ever been before...

[@ViperMountainBiking]

Nothing like a downclimb into something to ensure freshies :) Nice work

[@NotDadrian]

That looks fun, I want to try it

[@MrBlamazing]

holy shit mad props

[@michaeloliveira4805]

[@jacobwolf3128]

[@PhilipProchazka]

Guys THIS IS MY LIFE DREAM

[@dylanmurtagh4736]

[@PhilipProchazka]

+Dylan Murtagh why not, just need some equipment and planning

[@PhilipProchazka]

+Philip Prochazka i surelly will once, when the righ time comes

[@kenb9762]

The right time never just comes. There will always be something. You gotta make it happen, man! My buddy and I are going to Chamonix in January. It wasn't just gonna happen, we had to make it happen :-)

[@pietervanschaik1442]

at 2.28 after the turn: NO CONTACT !! WHAAAAA

[@jf04jad03k]

[@simonaghile2784]

wow what a thrill

[@kosycat1]

This guy rides more vertical in one run than all of us do in one day! lol

[@Kevhoe]

Made my palms sweat just watching. Fuck.

[@leTuq]

[@cashmoney6994]

[@xpez9694]

[@mariodeltoro1276]

Wtf... Yea just snowboard down a wall... Beast...

[@fhkind9460]

Holy shit strong recover at 3:30

[@bbolen]

A lot of these helicopter shots don't really do justice to the difficulty of these lines. sick riding!

[@NickPopGamezAndTutorials]

It looks like a giant oreo McFlurry

[@tulipstomper]

yeah,....I suck

[@FullEnglishProductions]

Anyone know what the tune is?

[@leTuq]

Eat a banana

[@stevenshorten6184]

Any guesses on how fast he was going around 4:06?!

[@terreseco]

Terminal velocity?

[@dchimkinov]

Yeah, he is barely touching the snow, so that is almost a freefall.

[@kierrify]

А я думал, что я хорошо катаюсь..... Капец, Ксавьер, ты мой кумир!

[@whitemerovingian]

what is this music? the only thing that comes to mind in Nine Inch Nails, anyone knows?

[@m.kursadcumhur2385]

Shazam :)

[@jbpanos1003]

Mogwai - Auto Rock from Mr Beast album...

[@KingGustav99]

Darude - Sandstorm

[@goatlike5433]

[@saltybeard1156]

King Of Gnar Sultan Of Speed The Caliph of Steep

[@DenisAkiraHayashihara]

maladif!!

[@Indarow]

Yeah, I just realized I’m a straight up adrenaline junkie. I want to get good enough to hit that stuff. I just moved to CO and I’ve already set my sights on a few of the local peaks. I’m not quite good enough to hit them yet. But with a few more seasons under the belt...

[@dchimkinov]

3:30 LAME! (Actually I s#!t my pants lol)

[@heyoooooo]

aliens must think were fucked

[@DarkTurtle92]

Yeah that's too extreme fir me lol

[@THE_BIGGEST_BET]

I love snowboarding but hell no to these mountains

[@t.j.mcnelis3999]

call me a wimp, but imma draw the line at needing an ice pick to drop into a run. count me out

[@GitSomeBtch]

Xavier De Le Rue, You are the fucking man... How much do you think you payed for camera crews and travel?

[@AlexanderCRobinson]

Who the fuck downvotes this and why?

[@dylanmurtagh4736]

they may believe that it is fake

[@prackk]

probably skiers

[@no_Ray_bang]

totally over edited

[@gric8051]

les nuages ​​sont comme du fromage fondu

[@joeyosland1811]

the music sounds like minecraft background ear rape

[@Kobriks1]

fake no go pro

[@supaskier6295]

For some reason this is really depressing

[@macattack4368]

I don't see anything extreme here... but seriously who wants to watch a helicopter? the gopro is the real footage! the other stuff makes it look less dangerous!

[@jeffreyvirkus9699]

PHOTOGRAPHY REALLY SUCKED!!!!

[@alvatrous]

This is terrible. Way over edited. Just wanna see the man ride

[@svmz7676]

I downvoted, its fake for sure! No one can snowboard down such steep mountains.

[@sjpearson14]

the music is awful
