The call themselves “Legs Of Steel“. Even though they chose their moniker with tongue in cheek, it is not that far from the truth. Bene Mayr, Tobi Reindl, Thomas Hlawitschka and Paddy Graham are well known in the international freeski scene. They have repeatedly triumphed in contests such as the “European Open“ or the “London Freeze“ and stunning performances in video productions such as “Aestivation“ attest to their skills.  

Making of “The Pilot”

At the start of the last winter season the four popular freeskiers realized that they could achieve even more as a team than individually. They relocated to Innsbruck, the ski capital of the Alps, and set up their base camp in a shared house. “Legs Of Steel“ were born. From the beginning their aim was to permanently carve a spot for themselves in the European freeski scene and to  raise the bar for alpine crews. And this is exactly what they did! Aside from their many other obligations they set out many times together to independently film at the hot spots of the surrounding mountain ranges. From the backcountry powder of Davos and the Montafon to the massive kickers in the Kaunertal or at Nine Knights.  

Online video release this fall

The result is spectacular. The first major video by “Legs Of Steel“, packed with breathtaking action and aptly titled “The Pilot“, will be launched this fall. It will be available online for free and promises almost 30 minutes of freeski extravaganza. But “Legs Of Steel“ have more to offer than this film project.
