Video: Rookie free-skiers win inaugural competition French teenagers Dylan Florit and Jeremy Baud secured top prize in the first ever The North Face Backstyler by Swatch contest. Part of the Freeride Juniors by Dakine 2013 programme, the competition, which aims to foster the talents of young freeriders, involved three big-name riders (Markus Eder, Sam Smoothy and three-time Freeride World Tour champion Xavier de le Rue) each captaining a team of two rookies. The teams were given a week with a professional cameraman and photographer to shoot footage in the mountains around Verbier, followed by a week's editing time to create a video and image gallery, showcasing elements of freeride and freestyle. After 10 days battling it out on social media to win votes for their videos on backstyler.com, it was the team of De Le Rue, 16-year-old Florit (pictured below sending up a rooster tail of powder) and Baud, 18, that triumphed, amassing a total of 4,410 votes.
