Behind the Nines – Audi Nines Documentary

A behind the scenes peek at the Audi Nines

The Audi Nines is one of the biggest showcases of the year, with top athletes from all over the globe gathering to go head to head on what is possibly the most insane course ever made. Behind the Nines is an exclusive documentary made by the crew giving us an insight into just what it takes into creating this behemoth event.

“An insight into just what it takes into creating this behemoth event”

It’s easy to sit and watch an event or a comp and be (quite rightly) blown away by the riders, but have you ever stopped to think about just how many people are involved in the bonanza that you’re watching? From the very first moment that the designers start to put pen to paper, to the last-minute scrape that the shapers do before drop-in? Behind the Nines is a fascinating delve into the intricacies of how difficult and complex the event is from conception to completion.

Interviews with athletes give us an opportunity to see the other side of how gnarly those huge booters are. From their initial trepidation pre-run, to the elation after stomping a landing, it’s super cool to hear first-hand the journey they take throughout the event.

Considering how many different disciplines are using the same course, it’s imperative that it is designed to perfection. With both freestyle skiers and snowboarders and boarder/ski cross all piling down the same lines, you can’t have too much or too little of anything, so the designers really had their work cut out for them trying to create an energy that had the right vibes for all riders involved.

“The pride they take in their work is well deserved, as even fractional mistakes could spell disaster”

You get a feel for just how much work the hero shapers put in and how colossal their task is in bringing the plan to fruition. The pride they take in their work is well deserved, as even fractional mistakes could spell disaster for the riders. What’s super cool about the film is that you really get the sense of camaraderie and synergy from everyone involved right from the outset.

It’s well worth a watch, and it’s getting us psyched for this years event. April 22nd – the countdown is on.
