SWATCH NINES X WORLD ROOKIE TOUR
Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce our partnership with the World Rookie Tour, which will add four new invitations for the tour champions - male and female, skier and snowboarder.
The World Rookie Tour was born in 2005 as a series of youth snowboard events and it consists now of a selection of high-quality International events for Snowboard, Freeski, Skateboard and Surf, the so-called "Rookie Fests", reserved for riders under 18's only, in Europe, North and South America, Oceania and Asia. WRT Events are not only of competitions and they feature loads of other activities to help rookies to grow in the field of professional action sports, such as photo & video shootings, avalanche, and rescue clinics, meetings with pros, parties and English talks.
THE BECOME A NINE REELS CLIP COMPETITION
As usual, the Become A Nine Reels Clip contest, will offer four invitations—two for skiers and two for snowboarders. In the Become a Nine Reels Clip competition, judges will be handing out two coveted invites to join the Nines! This wild card entry is the only way to get into The Nines in Schilthorn, Switzerland, without a direct invite to join for a week filled with progression sessions alongside the world’s top riders. The Reels will be posted directly on the Nines channel and you will be invited to colab on the post!
WHO CAN ENTER?
The online qualification is open to everyone who has the capability and skills to ride a setup like The Nines, pros and amateurs from all over the world. Only the top entries will be published on our socials, so make sure it's a banger!
WHAT KIND OF TRICKS SHOULD BE SHOWN?
As the Nines is a Slopestyle and Big Air event, we want to see an accumulation of your best tricks and riding skills on jumps, rails and other creative features that showcases your overall skill. Show us your skills, technical diversity, and a lot of style in your Become A Nine submission and hopefully, we'll see you in Schilthorn, Switzerland!
WHAT SHOULD THE INSTAGRAM REEL LOOK LIKE?
- Create an Instagram Reel of max 59 seconds.
- Pick a song on Spotify and edit the submission to the music.
- The video should be in Instagram Reels format and not longer than 59 seconds, and remember it's all about the action!
- The editing is not the important part, it's all about the riding. So DIY style, phone clips, GoPro, or any other camera will do the job. You can edit the Instagram Reel yourself or let your friends do the computer work.
HOW TO SUBMIT THE INSTAGRAM REEL?
- Go to wetransfer.com and add your video.
- Enter your email and send it to: thor@distillery.cc
- Type your message: Your contact information (full name, email, telephone, age and Instagram Handle).
- Deadline: 29th of March.
- We will post the Reel to our Instagram account and invite you to colab on the post, and communicate with you when we will release your submission so you can accept, and activate your own audience.
HOW THE JUDGING WORKS:
- The audience and your friends will help us with the preselect, then the invited riders to the Nines will end up deciding who will come through an online portal where they will chose who's submission is the best, and will join us at the Nines 2023, in Schilthorn Switzerland. Once you're through the preselection, we will notify you, and you can see yourself on the website, where you can follow along with the riders voting.
- Once Riders Voting has been finalized, we will create a YouTube video with the winners to anounce, which you can share on your Socials as well! ?
For previous submissions, check out the videos below, do remember we have changed the format from YouTube to Instagram Reels only.
