National Student Rodeo 2015

Unsponsored is happy to announce that we will be supporting the National Student Rodeo (NSR) 2015. The NSR is probably the worlds biggest student freestyle event and is well worth spectating if you can’t take part.

The National Student Rodeo is held at the National Watersports Centre in Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham, and in 2015 will be on the weekend 6th-8th March. Camping is just down the road and the party, food and mini film festival will be held at the Old Nottinghamians’ Rugby Club.

Substantial RAW – Lower UlvÃ¥a – Sven Lammler

Screen Shot 2015-02-01 at 08.31.40

This is a very rarely run section of the Ulvåa that drops into the Lower Rauma in Central Norway. Huge slides and insane amounts of gradient keep people away…but this river actually turned out to be one of the most classic runs in all of Scandinavia…the upper section is more mellow, but still high high quality! Watch Svenny get hyphy on some gnar gnar! Continue reading

Five Ten Canyoneer 3

A few months back I posted a video of the new Five Ten Canyoneer shoes. A few more details have appeared since then.

5205_Canyoneer 3_6

In canyoneering, where static friction is life and sliding friction death, Canyoneers have become the gold standard. The Canyoneer 3, with its Stealth S1 soles, reflects more than 15 years of R&D in some of the world’s harshest environments. The new 2015 Canyoneer retains the burly protection and excellent stability of its predecessor, but adds an increased lug height for improved penetration on soft ground and easier mud release. We’ve added welded rubber rands that interlock with the mesh upper to eliminate any chance of delamination; an asymmetric fast-lace system for single-handed adjustability in cold, wet conditions; a protective tuck-away lace pouch and svelte heel cage for torsional stiffness and support. And the flexible ankle cuff gives you support and protection without compromising range of motion.
