One day of filming in the park at Perisher.
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 do. 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!

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 :)
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!
My 2nd Place run from the Sochi World Cup a couple of weeks ago.
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 jump from the Breckenridge Dew Tour Big Air event!
A fun day of filming in the park at Mammoth Mountain with Alex Schlopy this past December.
A fun day of filming with my buddy George Knowles in the park at Breck at the beginning of January.
Little edit from some of the features on the Nine Knights castle.
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!
Dub flat 7 on a hip at June Mountain during an Armada shoot.
A fun few days shredding at Camp of Champions and Momentum ski camps on the Whistler Horstman glacier this summer! Song: "Alright" by Supergrass
First ever double rodeo off of a cannon rail! COC was super accommodating and helped set up their cannon box a lot bigger than it was before so that I could try this! Super stoked on how it turned out!
Two days shredding around Mt. Washington's park on Vancouver Island, B.C. before heading up to WSI a few weeks ago! Song, "Happy Song" by Boney M.
My slopestyle run from the Winter X-Games 15 in Aspen, CO.
Video from last week's Super Hit competition at WSI in Whistler, BC. So stoked to learn a dub 10 in the pipe! Filmed and edited by Robin Macdonald!
My first two triple attempts ever during practice at WSI in Whistler, BC last night.
First day back on snow after a leg injury from a few weeks ago. Super fun shredding around in the park at home!
This past fall in New Zealand, Torin got the opportunity to basically try out for a spot on the Armada team. For two weeks he skied alongside the rest of the Armada team and tagged along during a photo shoot. As I'm sure he could have guessed, he made the cut - kid slays.
