Not gonna say 1st. Definitely a big year for shredding. That’s It, That’s All.
these are good moments for sure, but i think there were a few better ones that could have been used and replace some that are up there.
yea, like stian solberg in ponytale doin the boardless backflip
speaking of which…was that boardless backflip real?…
man thats sooo not real. ever seen the girl video YEAH RIGHT when they do the invisible skate deck, thats wht they did
scott steven’s one footed boardslide on a street rail was nutz too
I actually was just thinking that
jed anderson back 3 on big tail press through kink
they picked the wrong trick from thats it thats all. the best is the one in the middle of the credits after the cab 9
5th was a nosepress, not a nose slide
all te videos will load except LNP’s
pissin me off..
Awesome.
absolutely amazinggg…i love snowboarding!!!!
theses double flip/spin are sick!
nose press tapped liked 3times…and 15foot long rail wow!
ARE THESES really the best or its sponsor picked??
go to hell
let’s see you do any of these you fuckin bastard.
Have you done a longer down flat down flat down rail with a steezy nosepress?
Back 180 to down flat down?
Really?!? Thats what I thought…
how smooth is LNP’s nosepress?
the video won’t load…
and what is your point? grow up
the nosepress didnt tap once what the hell are you smoking?
no it didnt tap. he 50 50d twice
number ten is at 3:03, for all the retards like me.
i lied its at 3:40
you mean 0:34?
the louif trick had never been done on film before which makes it sick, doesn’t matter how big the rail is. but the gigi trick…thats pretty much just a backflip.
I feel like I’ve seen a back 270 on to fakie out before on film, either way its ridiculous and I wanna learn it haha
For real, Gigi’s rad, but whomever called this a loop is tripping.
greg desjardins throws it in no correct way, i think that was first, i give louif triple style points though, mind blowing
i think louifs was first it was the first rail of the season
get that gigi ruf shit outta here
#3 wasn’t that great.
aha i know like i think any that can backflip could do that trick he was on the tunal for like 4 feet
there deff werent 3 taps on that press, and that rail has been used as a hammer with just a 5050! Im prolly the only person who hasnt seen the boned age but some vid on that trick woulda been nice.
yeah fuck, that baby’s tweaked to the max and lago’s higher than the mountains
fo sure! and why hasn’t lago been tagged! i really want a video of that one
such a crazy moment…dude takes a beating, cant believe he is still standing afterwards..just watch the boned age its a pretty good, and funny movie
louif’s trick would have looked way better if he didn’t land fakie. even though its harder it doesn’t look as smooth
Wow, your kidding right? The fact that he comes out fakie is what makes it so sick. If he would have come out regular it would have been the same as the other million back 270’s to regular that have already been done.
there’s been a million back 270’s to fakie done before too the only difference is it looks lame when you spin back the way you came.
douche is a perfect name for you.
he lands the 1260 perfectly
method is the best hands down
are you fucking joking its a grab
damn. too much craziness this year. Benedek, Horgmo and Rice are wild. Debari’s shit was so huge. Eiki’s back 180 onto that dfd was gnar. Louif’s back 270 to fakie is so fuckin hard, i still havent landed that in the park yet. did you see Peter Line’s board!?! that thing was like a 159!!! haha. way too hard just to switch back three into some shit like that. and who said LNP’s nosepress wasnt legit? Too bad they couldnt show Louif’s switch back 50 on that same wood triple down. what was Solberg’s trick?
3 kinks? you mean 4.. count the bends in the metal fool or just go read a Thrasher!
Benedeks is by far the best…dude did three new bangers…
yeah, but thats in the park, not the backcountry, backcountry makes that shit way harder, travis rice in that’s it thats all pulled a switch backside double cork 1080, a switch frontside double cork 1080, a frontside double rodeo 1080, a backside double rodeo 1080, a backside double cork 1080, and a double backflip with a backside rodeo, all in the backcountry
hahaha lucas debari’s hat got taken off by that tree he rode under hahahahaha. I always wondered when that would happen to someone on video… a tree grabbed my goggles once. that shit is funny
yah i dont know about that “loop” haha i thought i was a joke
breckenridge should fire the marketing geniuses that came up with that wackass techno ad
that shit is wack
Lucas is a madman.
im thinking that peter line did the craziest trick. Louif was dope, bs 270 fakie.. so smooth. LNP’s was hawt. Rice kills it and so does Benedek. Eiki was fucking crazy too. I just have to say that the risk factor for Peter lines trick was through the roof. going switch backside into a wall, cmon now. Tell me that isn’t the craziest shit
hey woody, watch the hcsc session 6 recap and Jed Anderson does a backside 270 fakie and kills it overall
that would have been filmed after Louif’s.
dumbshit. god damn
ohhhhh wait, it was switch too
it’s time for you to understand that some people can do some tricks better switch than regular.
yea no kidding nobody gets the trick without the vid on lago’s method
did he tweak it twice
anyone with eyes can see that method is the best
who gives a fuck about a shitty looking spin
tweak for life
travis was steazy as hell in backcountry too

Honorable mention - any of the crazy shit Travis does in TITA including the other double corks, and the tree tap session, Jeremy Jones - TITA, Nick Suave 270 into kink in Forum, Will Lavigne bs 270 Red Ledge in Rome, Gigi Ruff’s crazy double cork in Absinthe, Stevie Bell triple kink, that wall ride flip thing that am kid did in Rome, NIcolas Mueller chairlift tap in Burton
Those are mine, not sure on the gigi clip, the Debari clip or the Scotty Clip here, think there are better ones
Rome’s No Crrect Way wallride backflip was done by Johnny Paxson and for those who don’t know it was over a bus! the magic bus to be exact. VOTE FOR EIKI HELGASON FOR ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!! i agree with your list man. but the lago cli[ would be sweeter with video and dude, he’s so high u’d think he’s on heroin
i agree.
3 wasn’t really all that sweet
Yeah if any of you have seen the Boned Age you would know Lago landed way in the the front seat of that method and DOUBLE EJECTED from his bindings destroying himself. If I owned Flow I would have bought that footage and burned it.
I think any Bindings would have blow up crashing from that height!
yeah brad you’re dumb. That method was sick as hell, he took it deep as hell, and showed everyone that sometimes your bindings do fly off your board because he actually did something sick unlike every dumb move you can do on your snowboard and showed you that everytime you think your bindings a little lose and you cant ride makes you a huge pussy!
If any of you have seen The Boned Age you would know that Lago landed way in the front seat of that Method and DOUBLE EJECTED from his bindings, destroying himself. Thats what makes this shot so gnarly. If I owned Flow, I would have bought this footage and burned it.
double ejected from his bindings…as in the screws broke..not anything to do with the bindings. i ride for flow..my rep was telling me that after that happened scotty called them up and asked if there was a nearby retailer that sold flow so he could have a new pair of bindings since he broke his..didnt even make a big deal of it, haha but thats scotty for you. either way, you might hate flow, but that would have happened to any bindings..not just flow bindings. it was a gnarly fall and it had nothing to do with the fact he was riding flows haha. hes just lucky he didnt get hurt.
best tricks should be about skill not who can take the hardest fall
Too bad danny sent it just about as deep and his unions didn’t break.
So what broke? The screws? Probably not…maybe his inserts stripped out on impact. Either way overshooting is scary and he’s lucky he’s not paralyzed. Know your speed. Smart Style.
hey when does Breckenridge open?
the only thing breckenridge is good for is park. and the scene is WACK…. so who cares.
Joe Sextons FS Board through the largest kink to date in Down With People wasent in here?? Come on. Some of those choices were a stretch. Half of Travis’s moves in Thats It Thats all are better than half of these.
Nothing from Scott Stevens’ part in Stack Footy? Get it together Transworld.
what about eiki’s back 1 sw back 3? or his over back 1 cab 270 front board to reg?
Davids is still the best, if he did those at the dew, he would have smashed ev one.
Peter Line´s still killing it!! OMG!! and mr Benedek fcking crazy tricks!!
LNP tapped that shit 2nd kink
Rice in tita. All those double cork tens and back brodies going that huge and stomping in the pow blows doors on all other stuff.landvik in standard..
the nose press is sick there are some better tricks in no correct way tho all the tricks are awesome tho
i think bode merrills back rodeo to front board on that flat down rail in i ride park city should have had some mention….
yes! so sick
this is mad steezeyyy
wow man that is sick shit
wat the name of tht song o and siiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccckkkkkk!!!!!
nash lejgoijriogji (fuck spelling his last name) hardway back 270 to fakie
