LEFT “As Clambin Productions expanded, John Falkiner became one of the most prolific stunt men in skiing. Here he is, in 1992, performing for the German brand Action Shampoo, on Monte Rosa, the highest peak in Switzerland. One heli held the camera crew and John jumped out of the other, tucked it down the face and met a female model at the bottom who was holding a bottle of the shampoo. He then said some shit like, ‘Action!’”—Ace Kvale ABOVE A 1992 Bogner photoshoot at Canadian Mountain Holidays. Left to right is Frank Wörndl, one of the most successful German alpine skiers in history after winning the world slalom title in 1987 and an Olympic silver medal in 1988; John Eaves, one of the great stunt men of the ski world and six-time Freestyle Aerial World Champion from Canada; and Bernhard Russi, 1972 downhill Olympic gold medalist from Switzerland and personal hero of Ace’s in high school. After a long day of hurry-up-and-wait for the pros, the team finally appeared from over the hill, sans Bogner, much to the surprise of Ace and film crew. Ace Kvale Gallerie 093
