One of the longest days of skiing I've ever had. Started lapping the jumps at about 7:30 and skied until the mountain closed at 4. Such a fun set up!
Little edit from some of the features on the Nine Knights castle.
A fun day of filming with my buddy George Knowles in the park at Breck at the beginning of January.
A fun day of filming in the park at Mammoth Mountain with Alex Schlopy this past December.
My 2nd place jump from the Breckenridge Dew Tour Big Air event!
First ever triple landed by a skier at Winter X Games!! Unfortunately speed got a little slower during the final round and I worked myself trying this trick again but I'm stoked to at least have put one down!
My 2nd Place run from the Sochi World Cup a couple of weeks ago.
A few months ago Pete Alport designed and built two features in April for the Nike crew (Gus Kenworthy, Jossi Wells, TJ Schiller and Johnnie Paxson). The first feature at Ski Bowl was a unique chairlift feature that had options for grinding the top of the loading area support tower, jumping over the top of the turnstile as well as a quick tranny-finder hip landing. The second feature was a peace sign transfer rail set up at Mt. Bachelor that was more for stills than for video and Nate Abbott definitely got some pretty insane photos for Freeskier! This is just a taste of the footage we got and all of my best shots have been saved for my year-long video segment which will drop after the summer - be sure to stay tuned for more info on that!
Over a year ago at a VW training camp in Northstar, CA I got the opportunity to get sled laps all day on a perfect jump and pipe set up. This is the footage from that day. It is the completely raw footage and some of the tricks are a little sloppy but I thought it'd cool to put all the shots together and give you a behind-the-scenes look at my first tries at some new tricks :)
In April, I returned to my hometown for a photoshoot on a kicker rail I designed. I was supposed to be there filming on the feature for five days and had a whole line up of tricks I wanted to get done. Unfortunately, on the first day of filming, I slipped out on the rail, hit my head on the knuckle and knocked myself out cold. One concussion, two lost teeth and three days later I went back up to hit the feature a few more times to try and salvage the last day of the shoot. The tricks I ended up getting aren't quite what I had originally hoped for but I'm happy with how the video turned out considering the circumstances!
