After the success of “Up In Snow” notably awarded the Best Visual Effect at the 2008 IF3, Ride the Planets is proud to present “Can’t Stop”, starring Sammy Carlson.
This film is officially presented by Salomon, The Mountain Sports Company along with our partners: ARVA, Skipass.com, Skieur magazine, Xtreme Video.
This year’s film, directed by Dom Janiszewski, is the outcome of a solid collaboration between Dom and Sammy, who has been involved in every stage from planning to graphic design. They began shooting just before the X-Games in Aspen and the surrounding areas. The next big stop was in Europe in Montgenèvre where they had excellent conditions. Then to finalize everything, Dom spent over a month in the US travelling all over the place with Sammy and company.
This year, Ride the Planets also collaborated with filmers based in the US: Pete Alport, Justin Weigan and Brandon Husak. They filmed the more urban shoots around the US with various riders.
The film also features freeskiers such as Matt Walker, Tanner Hall, Simon Dumont, Tommy Ellingson, Mike Hornbeck, Ben Moxham, Liam Downey, Nick Martini, Thomas ‘Bichon’ Diet as well as ‘Sammy’s kids’ Willie Borm and Seamus Flanagan. Of course, our infamous paragliding shots with Antoine Montant are topped off with impressive speedflying.

No we didn’t roll a spliff with dog shit, but we did shoot some of the best riders on the planet getting some footage that would make your jaw drop. Impossible angles filmed while paragliding with Antoine Montant have even the best filmers begging for images.
Our guru, Dom, hit some hotspots around the globe snagging some props at the Jon Olsson Super Sessions filming Sammy Carlson. He has come back from an exceptional winter with lots of tricks in his bag.
Featuring Simon Dumont, Sammy Carlson, Tanner Hall, Charles Gagnier, Richard Permin, Lolo Favre and Thomas Krief in freestyle, Kaj Zackrisson, Cody Townsend, Phil Meier, Seb Michaud, Aurelien Ducros and Laurent Niol in Freeride as well as the new generation Henrik Harlaut and AJ Kampinnen, we guarantee some high times.
