18 Year Old Racer Jenny Piot Signs with Shred

The flood of French athlete sponsorships continues on the heals of the French Ski Team partnering with Shred as official supplier. This time, Shred dips into the young up-and-comer well and fishes out the beautiful and talented speedster from L’Alpe d’Huez, France.

At only 18 years old, Jenny’s managed to win a whole bunch of FIS Races, has been top 20 in many Europa Cup races, placed 5th in combined at the Junior World Championships in Garmisch back in ’09 and recently competed in her first World Cup Race in Crans Montana, March 2010. She’s pulled in some sweet results and is considered a strong prospect on the French World Cup Squad.

Here a little iMovie edit by Jenny of the team’s 2009 Chile Training Camp…


Luke “OCHO” Allen Winter Season Wrap Up

Hey everybody,

This is my first blog post here on the Shred blog. This past winter was in no way an easy one. I was coaching six days a week and trying to get out and ski as much could when I wasn’t coaching. I went out a couple times throughout the season and filmed with the RMU resident filmer Jake Strassman.

I also purchased a Go Pro which ended up being one of the best purchases I have made in a long time and I got a ton of great footage from over the last couple months of the season. Put everything aside I had a great season I met a ton of new people, shredded tons of great snow, stayed healthy, and progressed my skiing. Next season I decided to take time off from coaching so that I can focus on my own skiing!

Lastly here is my season wrap up edit minus shots from spring shoots with Vail, and Bucknaked Visual Works! Right now I am up in Mt Hood for the summer skiing and hanging out, thanks to everyone for a great season and I can’t wait till the next one!
