i'd say he looks pretty good, but then again i don't really know the skill level of other AM snowboarders. so i could be talking out my ass.

His jump game is pretty spot on, but he's nothing special on rails. My view is kind of skewed though, because some of the best jibbers in snowboarding (pros included) go to my home mountain. His back lips were fuckin' sick though. I loved his handrag too.

Yeah, I just watched it again paying closer attention and he had some sick switch backside tricks. Sw back 9 at 1:48 was saucy.

his jump games fine for being a contest kid, so is his rail game however his rail game could use alot of improvement. snowboardings getting more creative than ever.

hes pretty fucking sick, both on rails and jumps, and the back 180 onto that rail towards the end was legit.


but he didnt do any jump tricks frontside.... every time he hit a jump he spun backside?
