From skipowd.tv :

Mat Dufresne tackles unforgiving urban architecture alongside filmmaker Xavier Mayrand in a gritty display of street skiing. Navigating through a knee injury and equipment malfunctions, the athlete executes technical rail slides and heavy gaps across industrial landscapes. Concrete ledges and metal handrails provide the backdrop for raw freestyle maneuvers despite frequent security interruptions. Through high-speed wallrides and creative lines, the duo illustrates the physical toll and persistence required during this winter season.

From Youtube :

"Mat and I filmed together for “MTL”, “MTL2” and “Word to the Wise”. 3 consecutive seasons that were rather similar. No injuries, not many spot failures, kickouts or gear issues. Smooth sailing.

This season was different… knee injury for Mat to start off the season, spot failures, getting kicked out, gear issues… it was a tough one.

But we still managed to get it done.

Every season is different.

Got to go with the flow." -Xavier
