When David Meier pitched “Soul Run,” you have to believe there were a lot of skeptics in the room. Sure, Meier is one of the top talents on an extremely stacked Head roster, but his vision is wild nonetheless. The project takes inspiration from Candide’s iconic “One Of Those Days” series, and anything that shares similarities with those classic videos must be fairly outside the box. Arlberg, Austria plays host to his creativity here.
If you watch until the end, you’ll see that this project took immense planning and preparation. The camera work had to be precise and the execution of some of these tricks involved factors that were quite literally life or death. Sure, it’s over the top and wild but hell, isn’t that the point of a project like this? With that in mind, buckle up for “Soul Run” and enjoy the ride.

Get ready for an adrenaline-packed ride in DAVID MEIER’s latest project, SOUL RUN! In this action-packed movie, David takes on the Arlberg like never before, executing a James Bond-style stunt on his skis that will leave you on the edge of your seat. From big mountain skiing to conquering a massive road gap, David pushes the limits of what’s possible on snow.
This incredible feat was made possible by the support of Head Ski, Tyrolia Bindings, Ski Zürs AG, Lech Zürs Tourismus, Ski Arlberg West, VoÜs, and Bühlhof.
