Yeah, I was wondering about Jacob Wester. I mean, he was in a lot of JOI vids this year (including the bonus in Magic Moves) and was also in the US Open bonus in Magic Moves, but I don't get why he didn't film. He should start. He's a sick skier

Brandon now skis for Ninthward, and Niklas skis/owns 4frnt so he has droped off the earth because of that.  Most skiers that quit their good sponsors and join 4frnt seem to completly drop form the main streem.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit brandon throws down but not sure joining 9thward was the best idea. ninthward is a one way trip to hell (once your there, there is no chance of getting out)

His seg in 7SD is possibly the best all around seg of the year. Abma destroys everything he touches with the style and he seems like a chill dude.
