Well, not snowboarders on fire as such – but a new boarding movie released by Burn and Action Horse, featuring a rider-led initiative called The Burns Unit.

‘Alive’ is filmed on location in Austria’s Arlberg region, and features top snowboarder Gigi Rüf among the team of the hottest young freestyle and freeride riders on the scene. The creative film includes footage shot under moonlight and other backcountry antics that these riders present in their bid to capture the beauty and essence of the sport.

The Burns Unit team will be at the Billabong Air and Style competition in Innsbruck, from 4-5 February.

Anyway, here’s a preview of Alive - feel the vibe!
