Red Bull Tribalquest is when eight freeride-tribes, consisting of a
skier, a snowboarder and a photographer go on the quest for
the three «ws»: Who
am I? Where am I? What am I doing? The answers will be given next friday night
with the teams' photographs.
The contest took off on Monday night, 18 February, when the eight teams
gathered in the event's base Nendaz in Switzerland.
«The rules of the event are
tight», Xavier Delerue says, who has won virtually everything that is there to
be won in snowboardcross.
«The snow conditions are the same for everyone and
there is not much time to shoot six pictures. This forces us to get creative
and try new things», he declares.
Time is short and snow is sparse. The conditions are defintely not those in
which freeriders and photographers usually get their prey. But all participants
agree that under these circumstances,
the real creatives have an advantage. And
last but not least, all of them believe that they will find a patch of
untouched snow, which is just enough for the one magic moment freeride
photography is about.
On Friday night, the participating riders and photographers will judge the
pictures on a big screen outside of the Cactus and decide
who are the winners of this year's Red Bull Tribalquest.
A big party would be organized in the same place
to close this event.
