This kid's crazy. Anyone know if he'll be competing in slope in this years olympics? Or will he still be in junior olympics? If he's competing in the olympics, my predictions.

2. Colby

Austrias snowboard team is probably stacked but it would be funny af if Matej qualified for the olympics in both skiing and snowboarding

He won all the big air world cups this year so I'd say he's doing pretty well to qualify for the Olympics

the reason I asked is he's 17, so wasn't sure if he would be in junior olympics or regular.

You don't have to be 18 to go to the olympics, there is no age limit, there is only "jr olympics" in the past as a name, not denoting a jr version of the olympics for younger people.

jr olympics is called nationals now (i think) but because of copyright, which is kinda funny honestly.

Seeing him throw a trip on a board on that all of a jump is insane. If he got one of those special made jumps man could prob throw a quad mad easy

The only thing stopping Matej from being the best overall park skier is his rail consistency, if that kid hikes enough he’ll be winning all the slope comps too.
