The Savoyards storm the Etna volcano
On November 10th, the video group "Oui la ride" composed of five long-time friends from Savoy, went to Sicily to ski on the ashes of Etna. Morex Custom followed them in their adventures.
“Yes, ride”: more than a slogan, a way of life.
During the lockdown, Aubry Bertin, Sébastien Nouvel, Jonathan Himpens and Anthony Cot decided to create an Instagram account and a YouTube page to share their content around the adventure: "we were already making offbeat videos without having thought about making a group and broadcasting them. "
This small group of mountaineers with a passion for thrills was formed in Bourg-Saint-Maurice with the aim of bringing together the individual skills of ski instructors, pisteurs and videographers around the common project of travel and adventure.
"It was new for us"
After many offbeat videos “at home” , they take on a new challenge: to go skiing on the ashes of the Etna volcano in Sicily. In search of adventure and without fear of the unknown, the group of riders leaves with no guidelines or organization.
On site, they are guided by Sam Cavallaro. The site being protected, our five adventurers had to negotiate to access it but the difficulty does not scare them " When we are together we go there, we do not hesitate ."
When they arrived at the summit, they were not disappointed " it was new for us, skiing on ash, it was like a movie set, we thought we were on the moon" . Despite the few falls on this slippery ash and the abrasive stones, the trip was worth it " what a pleasure to ski in a setting like this ".
From this extraordinary adventure, “Oui la ride” has produced a beautiful fifteen-minute video which traces this crazy idea from its birth to its realization, published on their social networks.
Our Savoyards are not short of ideas, ready to discover the world in search of discoveries "we would like to set ourselves a big challenge every 4-5 months". Next May, the riders are aiming for Norway " This time, we stop skiing on rocks. We plan to go on a tour of the Norwegian lands to get to know the territory, the ski spots..." . For this trip, the team wants to see things on a grand scale and call on sponsors.
