Benny Urban

You Are Inside Your Heart | VANS

"You Are Inside Your Heart" is a video portrait of Benny Urban.

Benny has been out shooting for this film alongside the Vans Snow Team across Europe during the last two and a half years.

Shot on location in Norway, Finland, Austria, Slovakia, and Germany.

For this film we united with director Alexander Tank who’s one of Benny’s best childhood friends who was a former Snowboard Pro himself and is now a successful movie director.

Benny: "It’s been such an incredible opportunity to have had so much creative freedom on creating a film with Vans. It’s probably been the craziest two years of my life since our daughter was born right in the middle of the project. It’s the best thing that has ever happened to me and throughout this whole filming process, I was learning so much about fatherhood and simultaneously trying to power through with this project and continuing my life as a professional snowboarder."

Antti Jussila
Nils Arvidsson
Sebi Springeth

This is Nitro Snowboarding

At Nitro, we have always done things a bit differently, but snowboarding and the people have always been the priority.

Probably not as part of a grand master plan, but as a logical consequence of an organically growing company. People have built this company, not the money of a big corporation or the lucky few who have been on the steering wheel of this magic bus. And people are what we have always relied on. When my partner Sepp and I started the company with our US partners in 1990, all three of us were scattered across the globe and this has basically not changed for over 30 years.

We believe in people, not in corporate offices with crammed workspaces and cubicles. Most of our co-workers have always and still are working from their homes, ride the bike or walk to work. We think everybody should be able to live and work where they and their families like and in the process, everyone is happier, more productive and commutes less.

We also have opened small offices if several of our colleagues are living in the same area and over the decades, Nitro has entertained offices in the U.S, Canada, China, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. This gives us an in-depth view of different markets, teaches us respect towards cultural differences and makes us a truly cosmopolitan brand.

But it does not stop there: we try to work only with suppliers that are family-owned and operated, just like ourselves. Bypassing anonymous audit procedures and rather spending the time with the people at the factories ourselves once again is teaching us to respect for everyone that is involved in making our product and making sure they enjoy being part of our family.

And finally: It’s about you, our customer. Every time you get out there to ride, we feel proud if we can contribute a part of your gear to make your snowboarding experience more fun. And we take this responsibility serious, as we value every snowboarder out there, whatever her or his style or level might be.

After all, it’s about people.

Moonpark Battles | Behind The Scenes in Tyrol's Secret DIY Snowpark

Tucked away in the Tyrolean Alps Benny Urban's very own DIY snowpark was the perfect place to host the first-ever Moonpark Battles.

Moonpark is a private fun project of Benny and his friends located in the beautiful Austrian Alps near Innsbruck.

While many ski resorts were still closed and many events canceled this winter, Benny took the privilege of having a perfect private setup to share it with five snowboarders and invite them and their filmers.

Each rider was given a full day to film a 60-second edit for the Method Mag Instagram account, whilst completing several general tricks from the challenge book. All edits had to be edited and submitted by midnight of the same day. However, Benny spiced things up a bit by giving each rider individual challenges that don´t necessarily play to their strengths and riding style. After all, snowboarding ain't easy and you definitely want to keep it fun, right?!

Eventually, all edits were uploaded to Method Mag´s IG account and the community voted for their favorite edit to win 1.000€ cash.

Hit play and take a look behind the scenes of the first-ever Moonpark Battles!
