Age 14, small edit put together from season 2011, tore meniscus and acl at dumont cup along with some preseason injuries
Fist season back from knee surgery, managed to pull together a few shots. Enjoy!
Threw together a few shots from 2015. Couldn't be more hyped for the up coming season.
Scavenged a few shots from last season. Had an amazing year skiing with all my buds, enjoy(:
From Kung Fu academies to trampoline and gymnastics teams, these boys and girls were picked to give Freeskiing a whirl 17 months ago. Not the way most of us were introduced to the sport. However their love for skiing and watching others get after it has really changed their life over the past few seasons. It's been a treat watching freeskiing make its way into china, and I hope you guys enjoy seeing what we got into at Wanda!
This season was very rock and roll. Bulletproof landings, loads of new tricks, all during a total Covid lockdown in Biashan, China. Each rider brought their own flavor this winter, and it's still insane to think how much they've accomplished with less than three years on snow. I hope you all enjoy watching these rippers as much as I did!
HUGE thanks to Stefan Platner and Duncan Mainland for working seven days a week overtime to keep this park maintained and ready to ride!

Jet lag and 5 am meditative wax sessions led me to André 3000's new album. Then the H1N1 flu hit, and while bedridden, I came across Freddie Gibbs And Madlib's Tiny Desk concert. Both tracks hit so lovely, and I had to cut it up with some admirable skiing from the week!
