 DC here joined alongside by Jackson Hole local 21 years to be exact. Yeah, and former professional snowboarder Jeff Moran. How you doing today, Jeff? I'm well DC. I'm stoked to have you guys Red Bull everybody back this year third year of the Kings and Queens here in Corbett's Coulard That's right. Yeah third year here of Kings and Queens and Corbett's and what an amazing venue This is let's talk about Corbett's here on rendezvous mountain one of the most iconic Features at any mountain in the world. Yeah, regularly raided and voted one of the steepest gnarliest most extreme runs In all of America possibly even the world Well, big shout out to the crew out here talking about Ranyan D'Arge and his crew of Park and pipe members here at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort that built some features up here in this coolie to as freestyle Yeah, they've had the Coulard close for almost two weeks and Ranyan and his crew has been up there hand-shaping features the first year back in 2018 there were no Hand-made features so last year and this year it's kind of new and they keep stepping up the game with what they're building up there Absolutely. All right. Well, you can see the countdown clock up there in the left corner But again third year of this event last year 2019 Kings and Queens did not disappoint what an epic year it was with epic conditions and for more action from last year's Kings and Queens of Corbett's let's check out this package top of the morning Travis right here pointing lives Corbett's and People are about to go full scent Yeah, thanks so much DC will welcome everyone to the top of Corbett's Absolutely stunning up here and for anyone that is ski Jackson and you walk out of that tram You look around at the valley you look at the mountains and you're like, okay I've arrived this place is absolutely breathtaking and just to be part of this event is truly special now in terms of the Weather right now it is chilly. It's about negative three to zero degrees with a wind chill factor In fact, that wind is about 23 miles per hour now The good news is I spoke to the ski patrol and that wind is coming from the Northwest So it's depositing snow into Corbett's which is actually softening some things up and the athletes got up here about 839 this morning kind of peeked over started assessing the conditions assessing their line Throwing snowballs trying to figure out what they were gonna do and I have to tell you these athletes They were visualizing some of their tricks and if you look kind of behind me DC You see some of these run-ins. They were up here timing getting their speeds right and we've got some big jumps Coming off of this off of this Corbett's at the top guys Right on well, thank you very much Tina Dixon definitely stay warm up there looking like an Eskimo up there You know definitely prepared for this event though. She knows what's up with the winter time So once again, we have got 24 athletes out here. We're gonna break this down for you the way this is gonna go It's a two-run format. They don't have to take both runs if they don't want to know if they lace that first run They can bow out of the second. Yeah, so we've got a set drop order for the first run through of all 24 athletes And then whoever wants to come back up and take a second run. It'll kind of be a random drop order We've got nine women 15 men today, and it's a mix of skiers and snowboarders on both sides And all of the competitors are competing together So women judge separately from the men, but the skiers and snowboarders together and the way we determine the drop order This was really sweet. You were there the other night for the athlete welcome party There was a lottery to see who got the drop first total lottery with the full lotto machine And we had Kate Zeleff the two-time queen of Corbett's who drew the number one ping-pong ball So she's dropping first today followed by another vet of the Kings and Queens on a beam in then we've got Veronica Paulson, Sander Hadley, Jake Hopfinger, Tim Dershey, Hans Mitnick and Madison Blacklead around at the top eight or the first eight. That's right And then you got Lucy Sack, Parking Costain, Marissa Krozek, Zoe Vernon, Rylan Bell, Cooper Branham, Ariana Tricomi, local boy, Cam Fitzpatrick. Yeah, we've got a few locals in it today. It's great Stenius Scotskift, Carl Fosbeth another familiar face-hat here at Kings and Queens We've got Kinger, Rob Kingwell, Forrest Jillson, Grant Gillar, Sam Pooch, Ashley Babcock, and we'll finish off with Mikey Marrone That's right. And those were all the judges for the event as well. There are no judges. This is a rider-judged event And they're gonna have the riding a rider judging party out here this weekend Saturday You'll be able to find out who won but let's get underway with this Let's get to the top of Corbett's here because we're ready to kick this off the 2020 third year here for Kings and Queens of Corbett's All right, well look of that iconic tram here at Jackson Hole bringing it to the top of Rondevue Mountain We'll be kicking off with Kate Zella first as we said the Two-time reigning queen of Kings and Queens of Corbett. She's hoping for a three-peat tonight or today Originally from New Hampshire, my old stomping grounds and been out in Jackson. She she was a Let's hear from Kate 25 years old and I'm from Northcoming, New Hampshire. I had the luxury of competing in the first Corbett's competition we had two years ago and it was my first time hopping into the Coulard and from that point on I've fallen in love with it. It's been a really special place for me. The kick-started my career and a lot of positive memories in that little guy Having some words there from our first athlete to drop two-time defending champion here your two-time queen Kate Zellif Could she go for the three? Well, she's gonna go for the three-peat. Could she get the three-peat this year? We will have to see as he said we're really out of New Hampshire now. I'm calling Jackson home. Yeah former Fists ski racer. You know what I've seen is it seems as though a lot of the the skiers that grow up being ski racers end up doing really well in the big mountain scene You know what I think's really cool about the event too is that the Competitors don't have to drop at a certain moment. They kind of get to work their way into it They've got their time limit or their time zone and they get to go when they want It's not like three two one you have to go so gives them a little bit of comfort zone up there and kind of get their head Wrapped around what's about to go down. What do you think's going through the head of Kate? She's getting ready to drop out here She's got the experience competed in this past two years and was the queen of this event the past Yeah, I would imagine that the probably adds a little extra pressure, but She's got it. I mean she's done it before she knows what it feels like and you know Whether whether draw on the first ball or is the best start order or start position or not? We'll see but you can see her up there getting herself psyched up and I think we're getting real close Right ten seconds. She is on course Oh, it's just ripping and it turns right away getting some airtime there one of those man-made features it looks Looks pretty forgiving up there nice and soft not as deep as we would have thought but it's definitely not hard pack Over the knuckle there on the final jump crack and open this event proper there Kate Zell after two times Defending Queen out here for Kings and Queens of Corvus. That's kind of her signature move there the spreader across the final booter Kicking it off now. We know what it's gonna look like. I think she's stoked. I would say yeah Definitely that is a stoked Kate right there. So checking out the replay here Boosting in stomping it and then just no holds bar come tearing down through the Cooley Got that nice Park style kicker at the bottom You go pretty big off that Takes a lot of effort to kind of manage that speed when you're coming off that 30 40 50 foot plus drop at the top of the nose right next up we have Hannah Beeman Checking her speed Hannah Beeman. She's been here the last couple years from the the very first Kings and Queens She ended up on the podium in third the first year in 2018 and last year in second Let's see if she can keep climbing the water in the ladder All right. Well for more from Hannah Beeman who as you said is podium in the past two years check out this piece It's always fun to spectate So I'm really excited to to watch and not also excited to see what I can put together in there I mean, I always love coming to Jackson So any excuse to come here and hang out and shred them out and ride with awesome people. I mean count me in so Getting invite back for the third year super stoked. I will always I will always take an invite to come back to Jackson It's just a great place and Super fun super great people to ride with it's like a second home. So it's from Hannah Beeman Hannah who's been on the scene in snowboarding for so many years. She had such a presence With the whole grenade crew back. Yeah, a big ex-game competitor. Yeah, and now transitioning over to big mountain freeriding the past Decade or so here and racing herself out of Bellingham Washington calling mountain Baker home She's a real estate agent out there in Bellingham as well now. Yeah backup plan We we see her out here in Jackson a lot though She's a familiar face for sure just like she said always always get times when Hannah's in town and it's it's cool If you read her bio It was Travis Rice who kind of introduced her to the whole big mountain riding scene And now she comes out and you see her hanging out with Travis and going shredding together all the time So yeah, Hannah is no stranger to Jackson Hole and definitely no stranger to Corbett's cool Are she said that she tries to get a lap in there every time she comes back to Jackson? Yeah, it was 2002 that she made that first trip to Jackson. Yeah, he's fell in love with the place Yeah, big shout out to Travis Rice, of course our king of this event last year For introing Hannah to Jackson in this little slice of heaven We've been hearing some of the competitors talking over the last couple days Feeling out what the conditions are in there and some different strategies Some people as we can see with Kate gonna send it right off the nose and heard other people talking about how they might take It a little easier getting into the coolly and then really take advantage of all those man-made features all along the route Hannah is assessing her drop in there Draw on her line She's getting that right trajectory There's definitely the sweet spots and then sometimes there's the not-so-sweet spots, so Well, what's getting third member of our team Tina Dixon? She's up at the top of Corbett's and she's got a finger on the poles getting all the input Tina What's going on up there? Yeah Well, we all know how important the right amount of speed is especially when you're dropping into something as serious as this And you know I spoke to Hannah yesterday and she wasn't quite clear on how she would drop in so she was up here this morning again Packing out her line. We can see her walking up Just really assessing the speed and making sure that everything is right and making sure that trajectory off the lip is Gonna land her where she wants to land so she can continue on her run So this is just part of the process when you're hitting features like this You're hitting something as serious as Corbett's you got to take your time It's a calculated a calculated effort and we can see that's exactly what Hanabee man is doing right now She walks up and gets prepared for her first run I don't think it Tina so valuable having Tina up at the top because we're down here at the base of the venue and It's great to get that input from Tina up at the top because total different vibe up there a total different vibe for sure and you know a big part of what our competitors are trying to do is You may have heard of the goat path, so you don't always have to jump into Corbett's you can ride in It's equally as gnarly whether in the air on your skis or board But when you come out of that go path it cuts right across the bottom of the cliff So you're gonna want if people are airing in most of them are gonna want to try and clear that go path and hit the sweet spot And seeing Kate Zell's drop there She air it in right off the nose and it looked pretty soft It wasn't you know neck deep on her landing, but it looked pretty soft and forgiven And we'll take a look here of Kate's drop in Yeah, plenty for giving the snow looks good for sending her into Into Corbett's out. Yeah right back into that left side hit man made hit so we've got the West wall that's that big riders left wall there some of our competitors may actually drop off that that's that's a line That's in the competition First year we saw Jeff ledger aka Dr. Huck and stuff do the lawn dart off that it was a That definitely gained him some internet fame doing that for sure Quite a few different options though And we talked about the snow that you guys got last week that helped with conditions for the landing and again buried some of The features that ran you and his crew had to build but they came out busted But yeah got everything dug out and and ready again in the course of three days But winds were forecasted out of the north yesterday, which really doesn't favor Corbett's But they were actually a little out of the southwest this morning Which did give it a little bit of a fresh wind load Yeah, we were talking to ski patrol this morning Pete Jenkins in particular long-time patroller here And he was saying that kind of got lucky on the wind shift to blew some snow in and it's actually looking a little bit cleaner and Smoother than it was yesterday, especially after they all got in there and we're checking it out Looks like Hanna's up in the start Strapped in Ready to rock vision in that grab there Frontside there visualize. It's all about the visualization at the really strong quads Yeah, stomping it out. It's a average about a 45 degree pitch of course that head wall getting into Corbett's It's a vertical there with that corner of a 90 degree But once you're in there about an average of 45 degree angle there and it's like Hanna Really getting ready to the drop time here Even though she Even though she's done it a couple times before I'm sure the nerves are still On on a like peeking on a 10 right now Yeah, I mean you're not seeing your landing until you're on the edge on the takeoff. Yeah Looking off into the abyss and it's like we are ready now for Hanna Beaman one of the legends of snowboarding Got the drop fortunately just shy in that rotation, but so much props to Hanna Going for the backflip there Yeah, we get a true sense of how deep it really is up there Coming into the the crowd pleaser at the Hanna Beaman out here. She's podiumed the past two years And she'll have a second run if she wants to to get to stomp that But yeah, so much props to Hanna. I was so excited when I saw her on the start sheet again for this year Take a look here at the replay In that method. What do you think that is 50 feet? 40 plus. Yeah, that's it's sandy But regains herself went for the flip with slightly under rotated But I love her going for the flip there clears the booter at the bottom and on a beam it again One of the best ever strap in stand sideways with her first of two goes here She's got to be creeping on 20 years or more of pro career. She's up there All right Well our next athlete to drop here in the start order again lottery determined They picked a ping pong ball out of the old machine and that term in their drop order. We got Veronica Paulson Squaw Valley Represent getting ready to drop in and we're gonna go ahead and check in for more on Veronica My name is Veronica Paulson. I'm 26. I'm from California, but I live here in Jackson now I've been in the Kings and Queens competition for the last three years The last two years I've tried a backflip and haven't been able to ride out of it So this year I'm gonna give it a go again and hopefully ride it out There you hear some words from Veronica Paulson Squaw Valley where she honed her skills, but yeah calling Jackson home now She's actually a freeride coach here for a free ski team. She's a Think we might see a backie. I don't want to call it, but I mean she's done it in the past both 2018 and 19 former moguls competitor So she's got she's spent some time working on that air awareness looks like she's getting ready for it Yeah, it looks like she is envisioning that backflip indeed at the top See a lot of athletes do that before they drop in especially like in the whole slope style and athlete riding world You see them envisioning their runs before they drop in so Veronica Getting ready to drop in here to the 2020 edition of Kings and Queens of Corvettes All right looks like we've got about 10 seconds till Veronica is dropping Paulson She's been waiting for that for two years Laming it and rightfully so so much respect. Yes, Veronica. She is so fired up The stoke factor Experiencing right now. Oh my goodness. I think the crowd here intensely both pretty stoked for Veronica How could you not be that was textbook so slow? Get congratulated by our reigning queen Kate Zell if I Can't wait to see the replay of this backflip in it is amazing What do you think you think she's gonna take her second run? I don't know. I mean that look at look at the landing on this So slowly rotated Bolts. Yeah, Veronica has been Working on that. There's not many women that have back flipped into Corbett's cool are you here? Jeff McMillan up from Jackson Hole here saying third time's the charm on that one. Yes, it is. Yeah, Veronica Was epic. That's how we're gonna do it out here. She just kind of raised the bar. I'd say Next to drop will be sander Hadley sander Hadley is up next. Yeah Got a second place finish back in 2018 have nice left 360 into the cool Yeah, definitely got some wicked style I'll be honest like people have been jumping into Corbett's for years Lonnie ball was the first person to ski it in 67 and We had Joe Laro who sent it probably bigger than it's ever been sent back in 1979 but I never thought that we'd actually see Corbett's turned into Essentially, what is a slopes kind of a big mountain slope style contest? It's been amazing to see people sending doubles back flips all kinds of spins sevens taking off switch Pretty excited to see what the rest of this day as in store for us. Well for more on sander Hadley Check this out My name is sander Hadley. I'm 27 years old from Pocatello, Idaho my first year I took second last year. I took fifth and being around this many people With similar Mindsets on things. It's really fun to kind of compare what's going on and who's doing what you know Really makes it a special event that way there. You have some words from sander Hadley here again second place back in 2018 It's coming over coming over Pocatello, Idaho not too far from Jackson at all Sander actually ended up on the cover of the Jackson Hole skier magazine our local ski magazine It's been going for 37 years. He's he's on the cover of this year's issue and it's from last year's Kings and Queens event Yeah, you've brought a copy of that magazine in and shared it with us So we'll see if we can get it up on the screen here next time they cut to a shot of us But appreciate you bringing the magazine in here about one minute to drop out here for sander Hadley Fourth athlete to go. This will be our first gentleman. We see drop in I've already seen again a lot of redrawing so completely random order out here But three ladies starting it off proper and Veronica Paulson Really doing a proper with that huge backflip in And so these athletes they can take as much time as they want, you know, there's no pressure for them to be like All right, you got to go right now. These guys can just do the dang thing and drop when they are ready when they're feeling it That's a really big part of the Kings and Queens is it's for the athletes. Oh coming at switch And Sander holding on to it and then the flat spin Switch five flat spin and then the bright three Acu there as he sets himself up to the final booter And the nice corked out 540 to wrap it up So just like you said turning this venue into like a slope style venue Sander Hadley displaying that wonderfully starting off with the switch five five flat three Right three and then nice corked out 540 to wrap up his run Oh and the backflip right before the back. I get the feeling that he wants to win kind of looks like it five tricks Five tricks getting thrown down throughout that run for Sander. Let's check out the replay Come with that big switch left 540 in Pretty impressive that he was able to catch that first skiers right booter wrapping it up there with the corked out five To wrap up his run Sander Going ham there on his first run Will he take a second one after that? Yeah, that's pretty solid stayed on his feet. I Guess you can always go bigger can always add a rotation. All right. We'll do the next to drop As we get a great view there of Corbett's will be Jake Excuse me Jake Hoppinger from upstate New York originally now calling Bozeman Montana home This is his debut here for this Kings and Queens of Corbett's event first time competing in this event 22 years old one of our younger competitors If I'm not mistaken, I don't think he's ever been in Corbett's I mean maybe yesterday for for checking it out, but I don't I don't think he's ever been here to actually huck into the Cooley so a monumental Moment for him actually quite a few of our competitors first time sending it into Corbett's well It's good thing. They didn't draw that first position ball in the lottery the other night because they can you know assess the conditions in there based off of how other Other of these athletes are landing. Yeah, we uh We had four four veterans kicking it off Sure. Yeah, once again next to drop Jake Hoppinger Well, we got a special guest down here with us We're gonna go ahead and check in with Veronica Paulson who what is just gonna join us out here Veronica I'll stoke you to get that back It's been three years in the making I've been trying it practicing a lot with my buddies I'm just really glad I could ski out of it this year. I heard Jess McMillan say to you third time's the charm So yeah, yeah appreciate all the invites coming from Jess. I wouldn't be able to do this Checking out the replay This snow was just you know perfect snow perfect conditions. I'm lucky. I drew the third bib So I got to go early when the snow is still fresh Yeah, everything lined up Yeah, it looks pretty soft in there. So Not too shabby for conditions. Look at that Solid landing Here we go Jake Hoppinger drop it in And Jakes Back in and the nice Lincoln loop off the booter there. Thank you Veronica Paulson coming in and checking in with us Jake Hoppinger right now huge backflip. Oh, oh holding on to it. Oh my goodness, whatever covering that was I thought he was gonna pack into the takeoff of the final booter there No way you're on her hanging on to it there sending a huge backflip using a Just the run in there is like a transition We got it to do back. He's one off the nose Another one down lower in the run off one of those Hand-shaped features. Here we go replay. Oh the double double the double in We looked up just in time to see him Coming around from the second of that. So the double backflip in what a beast And they're holding on to it almost packing into the takeoff Well Corbett snowsnakes grabbing his ski, but he didn't let him have it Jake Hoppinger Welcome to Kings and Queens of Corbett's first year competing here and mellow starting off with the double backflip in first time Hucking in the Corbett's and goes double All right. Wow Take a deep breath here. I wonder what the energy is like up top Let's see. We've got Tim Dershey coming up next originally from Aliesca, Alaska now calling Jackson a whole home Regular face in the TGR movies was just up and kicking horse competing on the free ride world tour And I saw him up at the top yesterday when I was Checking out Corbett's peering down into it and he showed up and It was cool just chatting with him for a little bit But then he got a phone call and one of his friends is gonna go ski Cody. So Last I heard from him yesterday who's gonna head out there and then I saw him at the welcome reception last night Did I get a chance to ask him how the snow was? I showed it. There's so much going on there we were up here early the other morning and it was no clouds no wind beautiful morning and It was right after all that snow we had come in those storms last week and Cody ball was looking prime Yeah, it was looking really good yesterday. It's all quite a few people venture out that way It's probably been about oh, I don't know almost eight years since I've had a chance to shred it Was looking really good So Tim Dershey getting ready to drop in up there, but let's see some of the runs We've already seen so far go down here in Corbett. It's been a great start to the morning There was Kate zealots start things off and then Veronica Paulson stomp in the back lip I've been trying that for three years and went big. She was not holding back on that at all Sander Hadley with that switch five J. Cop finger with that double back flip right now and still managing to get some of the more some of the other features lower in the coulard So there you have it five athletes of our 24 athlete roster Have already dropped in for their first of two runs to run format They don't have to take their second run if they don't have to and you're not gonna see any scores today because this is a rider judged event I Think that's one of the coolest parts about this whole event like it's it's as jet Jess McMillan said she had a whole opening statement the other night and it's all about the riders It's like they don't have to go at any certain point. They can kind of take their time It's rider judge and they get a lot of content out of this too So it's really cool to see this what is already a totally unique event and it's really built around Making it what the riders one and for the riders. Absolutely. Yeah There's not gonna be any grumbling about the judging Out here for this event is all is yeah, they're in judges. I love no one to bribe your peers Word we're about ten seconds out here Tim Dershey's first drop. All right. What do you think's going through his head right now? He's dropping in Stomp and a big left three Aiming for that transition there on the skier's left side looking down in that did look like a steeper transition Holding good snow That's that indicator rock the first one he hit up there in the Middle of the cooler. That's that's where ski patrol keeps an eye on to know when the cooler is ready to open They need about 70 to 80 inches of snow. Yeah, Tim Dershey Tim Dershey Happened his first go out here now Calling Jackson Hole home Member of the team here at Jackson Hole. Yeah, he's on JHMR's athlete roster Again of a regular face in TGR Not only films with them all year But then spends the off-season traveling with the movie and gonna promote the movie Here getting that left three and trying to find that good transition over on the skier's left side gets a little hung up there with Landing final hit here down in this Kings and Queens of Corbett's venue You know that little transition at the bottom of the west wall a lot of times that's the best landing That's kind of where all the snow accumulates creates this little tranny ribbon right up to the wall and Not that I'm gonna be the one to do it But honestly like if you you go up there and look at it It almost looks like someone could wall ride down the west wall and catch that transition at the bottom He's talking about that yesterday Looking at that. It's like it's ready for a wall ride actually joking with a campus Patrick the other day Yeah, I was like dude just wall ride into this. All right. Here we go Hans Minnick Getting ready to drop in and doing some last-minute adjustments, but for more on Hans Let's hear from Hans Minnick. I think this week is gonna be very interesting the one thing that I Don't think a lot of people realize is like the first year when I did this there was no features So this is my first year doing this event with features all the way down the run And coming from a slope style background. I think it's gonna be pretty fun And very entertaining at the bottom to say the least Have a Hans Minnick. We talked about this earlier in the show Hans his first year here two years ago There was no features that were built in it and he drew the first drop from his lottery on his birthday on his birthday So there you have yeah Minnick He was the first person to drop in the Kings and Queens of Corbett's event ever big shout out to Hans's brother Nils as well Such very talented snowboarders and I've had a chance to ride with those guys a few times like back in the day, too And yeah, they're so skilled on any terrain that you put in front of them Whether rails jumps or big mountain which they've been showcasing really over the past few years Yeah, Hans has been coming out to Jackson and in film with some of the guys here I know he was out filming with cam Fitzpatrick the other day for their they've got a project going on called This is us in and been doing some stuff out in the side country here at Jackson But yeah Hans and Nils those guys have been around for a while Like I remember when they were the little groms out in Vermont And now working their way up into the the big times in the snowboard industry Yeah, and Hans he spent a little bit of time out in Salt Lake City, but now calling Tahoe home So no shortage of free ride options out there in the now at all for Hans Minnick is looking up here at the top Hans queuing up some music a big fan of oatmeal He was telling me that he went on a 20 day trip to Europe a few years ago And brought enough oatmeal with him to have breakfast five packs a day for all 20 days That's insane. I do like oatmeal though. It's a good breakfast. It sticks to your bones in the morning Totally nice and quick as well Hans, uh, oh His energy. Yeah, that's full Zen right there Like it. I'm a big fan of the Sun salutation on mornings before I drop in especially on palates like he's centering himself He looks pretty calm a lot of people are up there getting themselves really stoked out. Yeah, it's mellow Here we go So the Frontside 540 into it there for Hans Minnick So the goofy footer here in his regular stance with a nice frontside three finding the good snow for that land and get some Great turns. Oh, it looks so good up in there Jeff. Yeah, he's took the way riders right line Now keeping his speed for this the crowd pleaser here at the bottom He'll method shifty Solid run From Hans Minnick starting off with that cap five Yeah, Hans, I can't tell if he looks relieved or just stoked on landing either way a Solid run So great first two runs again. They don't have to take their second run Hans stomping that first one. Will he elect to take that second run? We'll find out later, but that switch 540 switch one side five cap five into it Landing at the bottom of that West wall finding the good transition they go and cross court there get in the front three Off that side feature there and then just the backside shifty there like I said kind of kicking it out method style I did not to get that backside grab in But a good style always displayed by Hans Minnick here. I was a snowboarder in the 90s I can get back I can back a shifty. Absolutely. Oh shifty still one of my safety go-tos when Just testing out. Yeah, I'm still one of my only tricks Frontside or backside shifty. Oh, I can go both ways. All right, Hans saying hello to his mom Down there at the bottom and that's got to feel good putting down that first run next up Madison Blackley Park City, Utah rays now residing in Salt Lake City. It's about 30 minutes down the hill from Park City Yeah, 30 years old. This is her first experience riding Corbett's And competed on just the freestyle aspect of snowboarding for years did some Grand Prix events and some new tour events that I got to a announcer in Films in the streets a lot, so it's pretty funny if you ask me that we got athletes that film in the streets a Lot of different backgrounds in our riders out here. I'm former racers We've got you got pipe jocks Kinger former pipe jock. Obviously a lot of big mountain riders and skiers Yeah, last year we had Aaron Blunk Fresh off the competition circuit one of the top pipe skiers out there competing as well He was bummed to miss it this year. I just was talking to him last week about that But Madison Blackley much respect to Madison and she's getting ready to drop in her first year here at this event Three years that it's been running in Madison making her debut Just getting go go pro it up Madison Blackley. I'm 30 years old and I'm from Park City, Utah So this is my first experience in Corbett's. I have not hit the cool are quite yet I have ridden Jackson before I've looked at it. I've been wanting to hit it. So I'm excited for this opportunity There's some words there from Madison Blackley. So has he heard a say there? She's never hit Corbett's before first year hitting Corbett's Stoked Warming up those quads actually yesterday. She was telling me she was really going to try to book a massage last night She was dealing with a little bit of stiff leg there. I think it was that left leg She was referring to her front leg out here as the regular footer of Madison Blackley dropping in for her first time in the Corbett's Here we go Taking the go path a nice front-side grab off that cheese wedge High up when the riders right part of the course coming into this lower rock. Is she gonna hit it? Going for pow snow is looking good in there Madison coming into the final booter There we go frontside three catching that tranny Right on Madison Blackley there with her first time in the Corbett's Welcome to Corbett's Madison breaking the seal Crowd here intensely bull was into that The crowd pleases her booter at the bottom It's really so cool how they've incorporated all these park style hits into the natural terrain So a smooth run here We're looking to replay for Madison that's front side three get the front side grab in there It's a little heel heavy and watch that out But it's nice big jump throw front three off of there nice work Madison for the go path entrance into Corbett's Which that is a vertical head ball there The nose no nose as it's called Lucy sack Lucy sack bower full name there coming over from Sun Valley Not too far from here and born and raised in Vale, Colorado not too far from where I reside, but Sun Valley It's home now. She is an emergency and post anesthesia nurse Give it back to the peeps And let's hear more From Lucy sack Actually, sorry, we're gonna check in with the third member of our team Tina Dixon who's at the top teeny staying warm up there Yeah, we're staying warm trying to stay a little warm up here. You know DC. It's been so cold just be Wonder if the battery in her microphone maybe to zapped from all the cold up there was I saw a negative 15 for the windshield actually when I clicked up on top of The Brown David mountain here negative 15 was the windshield that I'd seen in the forecast for today And we were up there this morning getting off the tram when the Sun was coming up What a beautiful sunrise that was but it was brisk up there and feeling the windshield down here even it feels like a negative Wind shield down here. It's a little exposed up there at the top of Corbett's for sure There's some some of those smaller trees, but pretty wide open looks like Lucy sack bower is Dropping in Lucy going deep in there coming to a stop there, but Picking herself right up. How far you think she just went there with that entrance. It's gotta be I'd say 40 feet or so We got the helmet tab so she seems to be good shred some power on the way down Runs definitely not over, but I mean it's hard to go anything less than 30 or 40 feet So Corbett's once again about 45 degree angle But you're saying blow that West wall. It's a good spot to land a little little steeper there Yeah, see when I was yeah, I think that's where quite a bit of the snow Accubulates on the bottom of that West wall and you know, we may see people drop straight off of that It's it's been a it's been a popular feature in the past Not necessarily at the Kings and Queens event, but people have dropped it There's Lucy going big and I said 40 Let's get up the tape measure that might be 50 Huge Lucy not holding back there on that entrance here into Corbett's Yeah, it's pretty much the sustained 45 degree pitch through almost the entire crew are a little steeper there on the nose where it's More of a vertical wall Next athlete getting ready to drop Parker Costain our 10th athlete to drop 24 athletes total here Parker's only been in Corbett's twice and it was only was competing out here the past couple years and let's hear more from parking Costain Yeah, I definitely think this year is going to be different than the last few the conditions are Definitely not quite set up like they have been before we've got a lot more kind of like firm snow and kind of Everything is going to be a bit more of a charge than it has been in the past Not as much of a Huckfest parking Costain originally out of whitefish Montana grew up with Maggie boys in who's a US Slope style team member that I announced in a lot of slope style competitions It's got some pretty big accomplishment series 2015 TGR Gromkamp winner 2017 quicksilver YG ski winner We're gonna check in again with the third member of team Tina Dixon who's up at the top in the elements Elements right this in it's an extreme environment out here So getting some technical difficulties out here in this extreme environment. That's gonna happen. Definitely a challenge Working in these elements out here, so we'll get more from Tina up there I always love the insight that she brings Tina the veteran sideline reporter for all things action sports Yeah finger on the pulse up at the top can't wait to hear what she has for us. All right Well, 20 year old parking Costain. He's got the GoPro on his helmet getting ready I'm sure we'll be seeing some of that POV footage coming out in the next few days Oh under one minute before parking. It's gonna be dropping Nice view from the top there get to see the whole crew down in 10-sleep bowl. Wow People people seem to be into it DC. Yeah, that's one thing I remember from last year Definitely a lot of people coming out. I was an observer of this event last year and it was a good time The vibe was live down here at the bottom Corvettes Yeah, people are definitely coming out. I think it's a good day to play hooky and from school or work in Jackson I also think it's really cool. What if you're just here on vacation and had no idea that this was going on you just decided to get off the The sublet lift and cruise over to sublet or a 10-sleep bowl, and then all of a sudden you come upon this party I would say you timed your vacation, right? All right. Here we go parking dropping in Nice double back in the air awareness from parking and another back Just flipping his way down this coolie into the left three three hits keeping his speed for the crowd pleaser And a huge flat three with a Japan grab Finding beautiful transition on the final hit Parking cost a and he seems to be pretty pumped on that run. How could you not be you spent more time in the air than he did in the snow All right parking cost and doing it proper out here And I cannot wait to see the replay of that double backflip in just took his time with it That was beautiful and check this out. Look at the air awareness What's looks like it was sped up a little bit is what I feel like I was watching it in slow motion live time there Here's a look at from the bottom of it so relaxed and just Couldn't have possibly been a cleaner landing Went right into the setup for this next backflip not only technical and difficult, but made it look really good Yeah, I love the Japan grab on that flat three at the end and letting that style Show there parking cost a and let them know I think one of my favorite parts about Kings and Queens is just watching the Competitors come into the finish growl and how stoked all of the other athletes are for them hugs high fives It's just such a good vibe down here I know the temptation to rip off the headset and run over and give them a huge high five job Leave you hanging in here. I'm not gonna do that We'll have to pull some of those guys over here in a little bit and get their first-hand account Next up Mercer Crosby home bachelor her home mountain Just outside of Bend, Oregon for the past eight years. She's been a wildland firefighter. Yeah much respect It's a cool part of a resume studying to be studying aviation to be a fixed-wing pilot, too We got a couple pilots up in the mix Grant Giller later who will be seeing drop 21st drop he's got his pilot license. Yeah pretty recently, right? Oh, there he is right there speaking of him All right, we're with that with ten seconds of the drop For all she is clear for takeoff here we go Mercer Crosby dropping reaching back for that melon grab Really like how the park group built that little feature right into the sidewall there right into that little kind of wind lamp Oregon represent Marissa coming in the final booter Dust weakening over the knuckle getting the love here from the base area Madison Blackley giving her some hugs down there as well Taking a look at the replay here Jeff It seems like she's in the air forever Parking there she is gets a melon grab at the top-down view there from Corbett's Really cool perspective right there seeing all of our athletes up there looking into the Cooley Get to see everybody down here at the bottom with DC and I Looking on up. It's nice to be right here on site. We've got the the three two one countdown So we know exactly when all the competitors are gonna be taken off What you can't really see is we've got filmers and photographers all hidden in those nooks and crannies around Corbett All right. Well, we've got a special guest down here. We're gonna check in with parking cost ain't who just had an insane run Talk about that double backie in and just the whole run break it down for a spark That's been something I've been thinking about since last year I went for the dub mid-slope and it was just like not quite the lip. We were looking for so Jake Hopfinger and I this morning everyone thought we were crazy But built a lip like 10 feet back from the actual drop in had a little kick to her and My buddy Jake stomped it and then after watching Veronica just send that down to the bottom and lay it down I was like, this is gonna go so freakin stoke did I went better than I could have imagined Nice, what's the vibe like up top with all the athletes? Yeah, this event is unreal like unlike any other event There's just so much stoke top and bottom like everyone's hyped even though it's probably the scariest thing they've ever done What do you think you're gonna go for your second run? I'll do something my second run. I'm gonna leave that probably for the podium if that works So all right. I was a bit scary. It worked for us Thank you did almost every single person down here was pumped. I got a few high-fives Well, I would say there was anyone disappointed, but no one that was beautiful and just the air awareness there You're just it seemed like it was in slow motion. You're very delayed with that double It felt slow dude like I spotted but then it was still like a solid probably 50 feet down to the landing and like That was last year just singling off the top It was almost the same feeling kind of just floating it down there and this one just one flip before that Did you have the rest of your run planned out or I had and I actually almost under rotated just that simple backflip on the second Hit I like went into it slower and I was thinking and then But stoked everything else went together. It was kind of windy down low But uh athletes are ready to send and everyone stoked. How's the wind holding up up top a little gusty We're kind of bummed on the clouds, but oh it looks like this. Oh here. We go next. We've just dropped We're parking up at this from the athlete perspective What's going through your head when you're getting ready to drop in? You know, you can't see your landing in the coolie flip. Yeah, man This is a really intimidating event just because of how blind everything is you don't get a chance to like Like walk your line out from the top down You kind of got a drop into it and see what happens So we've earned and getting a little eaten up in there with the Some of that deeper snow. She did go upside down though. Saw a backy That landing's firm down there they groomed that Yeah Kind of the standard park park here down here. Yeah, I'm not a park skier, but made it happen. So you fooled us Thank you So that was Zoe Vernon that we just saw her first run out here coming out of Mount Baker, Washington She spends her summers fishing in Alaska heard a lot of people doing that and stack some cash and then spend your winter Going to play film going for the flip there in the middle off easy. Was that indicator rock there, Jeffrey? Think of it the one up higher is the indicator The wind definitely got her on that last hit Justin down here. Parking costume. Thank you so much for coming over and checking in with us. Yeah, they're all down Gonna be more hyped high five Good stuff up there. All right parking costing Absolutely slaying it out here is Well, we've seen 12 athletes go half of our field out here so far already their first of two runs Yeah, and we'll be back with more action out here for the 2020 edition the third year here of kings and queens of corvettes accent whole wyoming for the 2020 edition of kings and queens of corvettes the third year of this event And for our facebook viewers that was the scene from michelle parker's amazing show Originate available on rebel TV the moose the true locals out here. You're saying you live in town You get something to hang out in your front yard. Yeah, it's pretty common Some nights come on our front door. They'll be mama moose in there and her babies that right out in our front lawn I've seen them here on the mountain riding But yeah, it's the real deal and they like to hang out together. Sometimes you'll see up to like 19 moose hanging out together Yeah, it's well. I've ever seen that many moose hanging out They like to shill in my hometown back in Colorado as well, but never seen that many before together All right next to drop we've seen 12 athletes go 12 more to go to take their first two runs We got rylan bell getting ready to drop next rylan coming down from Alaska originally I think he's spending his time in over in Tahoe these days or at least in the winter But yeah, definitely big mountain rider. We'll see what he's got on the trick side of stuff Yeah splits this time between Alaska and squaw so squaw definitely no stranger to some big mountain shredding as well Rylan bell getting ready to drop in regular footer here Here we go lucky number 13 island front five And the light getting just a tiny bit flat there for him. Oh back three tail That was solid off that one of those bottom kickers and here we go into the crowd pleaser frontside three He does have some tricks. I like it Yeah, like the 540 in there I'd have to say the highlight of that run for me was that backside 360 with the tail grab held on to that grab Proper tail grab right out there on the end a shot of the tram there and last year We came up early this morning before the athletes last year When I came out to be a spent this event I got to ride up with the athletes and the vibe in there from all the athletes It was just electric in there so cool So we look at the replay for Rylan here going for that front five there with the front side grab Let's get a little hung up on his landing, but really makes up for it here with this back three It's always good to see when if athletes have a bobble at the top or whatnot that they don't just throw it And throw in the towel that they keep riding keep trying to put some tricks in Another shot of the tram that takes you up to the summit here of rendezvous mountain 10,450 feet elevation Just over 4,000 vertical foot rise And for those of you just joining us while we're on the first runs here of kings and queens of corvettes And we'll check out some of the action here Veronica Paulson with that huge backflip in third year Out here third year trying it and third times the charm as we heard jess mcmillan say That switch five of sander hadley I believe Yeah, he got five hits at his run And there's the first of two double back flips we've seen out here That was jpe hotfinger with the first one And then we talked to his buddy parking costane who was like yep saw jake do it He's like, yeah, I'm gonna throw my own they built a takeoff a little bit set back I found that interesting talking about how you Step back to take off a little bit match up that transition a little bit better. There's parkings double backy And another one for you I've got parking with the real solid run so far in our first half here of the 2020 Kings and queens of corvettes invitational. There's no qualifying for this. You got to be on the list You got to get get the shoulder tap All right our next athlete to drop in will be cooper brandon originally out of gig harbour washington And let's hear a little bit from cooper Hi, i'm cooper brandon. I'm 22 years old. I'm originally from gig harbour washington My experience with corvus coulard is pretty light I've only been in the coulard once before but i've always looked at i've looked at this event And I always wanted to hit features like this in there and it's a pretty unique experience. So definitely excited Cooper's been out here a bunch this year with these buddy at camp. It's patrick's also filming with cam Cooper riding on the burton deep thinker there. That's next year's model of that burton deep thinker I went to school to see you boulder sponsored by satellite board shop there and dropping in switch here Yeah came right out of it Switch 540 there for cooper on the drop in nice mute grab there. I'm a big fan of the mute grab in the white room Getting totally inverted There's the park rider coming out finishing off strong with the crowd pleaser kicker Well done cooper brandon cooper brandon Slaying it out here. So yeah born and raised gig harbour washington crystal mountain his home mountain great free ride mountain there Hones the train features on that mountain To hone the skills on went to school out in bolder at cu and now calls crested butte home starting it off with that switch front side 540 in Absolutely massive You know, there's a little bit of a advantage for some of our skiers with that independent suspension Falling out of the air that from that far up. It's nice to have two different legs To rely on but our snowboarders are killing it too today Especially right there riding that burton deep thinker a snowboard that is a bit of a brainchild of danie davis One of the most stylish individuals out there again, that's next year's model of that board Cooper with his first of two runs out here doing a great job Next up are we got a special one getting ready to drop all these athletes special But really excited to see ari ariana ter comey Just got second place finished out at kicking horse at the world free ride tour event and we're all here from ariana ter comey Let's hear from her right now Well, I compete on the free ride world tour and that's such a different format of competition So when they invited me to this comp I was I was excited also a little bit scared actually But I I think it's cool to have like a different format where there's like jumps built into the course That's what we don't have on the tour and the fact that it's kind of like The jury are the athletes. I think it makes it super special because it's kind of real And I feel the part is really good. So yeah, why not? I'm super happy to be here And we're super to have you here ariana coming out of italy and She didn't have all her bags to show up the other day So fortunately she did have her skis in her boots and I believe she said her helmets and her goggles But her gear her kit was not here yet as of last night Not sure if that's her kit that showed up. They were hoping there was a couple more flights to come in last night They were hoping that it was going to show up on one of those planes But I really like her attitude. Sure. Why not? Let's go huck into corvettes north face athletes They're rocking some north face gear. So maybe her bags did show up out here. So ariana. It's your comey Two-time champion on the free ride world tour went all the way over from italy Agnazzi for being here with us ariana and again fresh off that second place finish that kicking horse last week Red Bull athlete here getting ready to drop in And there's once again no rush at all for them to drop in it's not like all right You got 10 seconds. You got to go. That's what I love about this event They're allowing these athletes to get in the right headspace and how important is that Jeff? She's ready I he's holding on to the landing as she enters here in the corvettes Another nice straight air getting into that good snow Kind of cross court there I feel like a lot of our competitors maybe forget about that hard skier's right zone But there's definitely some fresh over there And really smooth interpretation of her line here in corvettes ariana chakomi looking real comfortable in the air Solid landing right off the nose and then just going right into her Rest of her run real solid Good flow there through her run for ariana chakomi and big fan of surfing as well So I think that definitely translates into her skiing with that flow So we look at the replay for ariana chakomi the two time world free ride tour champion on her first to two runs and No crazy tricks, but just some good solid straight airs and looking comfortable in the air nice and quiet body language when she's in the air Jeff looks like she's having fun I'd say that's pretty signature to her riding out here for ariana chakomi the italian Throwing down on her first to two down here talking to tim der she Doing a little recap Just tried to take a sip of my red bull so cold out here It's turning into a red bull slushie and our third time or our third member of our team tina dicks And we're going to check in with her again up at the top of the coolie tina. What's happening up there? Yeah, thanks dc. Uh, well, it's cold and microphones obviously do not like the cold nor do the batteries But I have to say it's been so much fun hanging out up here with these athletes Picking over the nose and seeing what everyone else has been doing And you know It's been set in a tone some of these early competitors like sander hadley and jake hopfinger Watching them drop some of the other athletes looked at each other went well Well, now what are we going to do? So it kind of just set this tone and like motivated everyone and then talking to them I'm like is there nerves? Is it excitement? And it's more excitement than anything And uh, they're also formulating their tricks and and you know, it's calculated up here They want to get these tricks dialed in off of this Corbett All right, well, thank you very much tina dicks and it definitely stay warm up there So much props to tina for standing up there in the elements As uh, we're feeling the wind down here and the wind show will forecast it to be in the negatives out here today Nice brisk day out here in the northern rocky mountains of wyoming t-tons. Welcome I'm really excited about our next rider. This guy's uh near and dear to my heart Mr camp that's patrick has actually a snowboard coach for close to 10 years He and I spent a lot of time traveling around all over the us down to argentina and it's been really really cool to watch his career grow He's definitely been taken under the wings of all of our pro shred crew here in jackson Like travis rice brian agucci those guys bringing cam along for the big trips and the big filming He was in travis's fourth phase movie a few years ago and now he's working on his own project That's called.

It fits you well Yeah, thanks. Yeah Yeah, I hope they make it today Well, take us through that run there. You look nice and smooth nice and composed in the air. It was a solid run What's we got? Well, yeah, like here I I was I didn't know what to expect on the first seat and then I really enjoyed just all the features in the face um Took that wide right line. That's pretty uh rare not a lot of people going over there Yeah, I I really like to link up more features if I can Whoa, whoa, whoa, who's taking through this ariana? Oh Yeah Well, that's a pretty smooth 360 I would say to seek a little backflip Yeah Going for the left seven there Looks like you got a little hung up on the takeoff there. Yeah with that 360 and with the mute grab money That's a nice backflip for good measure. Oh getting a little hung up packing Yeah needed for that final jump the bigger go home That's what they say what they say Seems like it's the philosophy on this come So All right, we're seeing we saw stanias get hung up a little bit in there How are the conditions up there? Take us through what the snow is like throughout corbets? I have to say snow was better than expected to be honest. It's not super deep, but it's soft enough to like Land your tricks. Of course. I didn't go as big as the boys. So My visa to stomp, but yes, I was pretty impressed was better than expected Feeling excited for a second run. I do I do I I think I'm gonna play little Not not safer, but maybe take the first deep kind of small and then do some tricks in the rest of the face Yeah, I'm excited. There's a lot of options up there So many that's why like what should I do? Should I go left or right or spin? It's like you probably do like 15 runs down here and take all the hits Yeah, no, it's cool. I'm super super super happy to be part of this How much experience do you have with riding corbets? It's my first time like the run was my first run awesome of my life. So yeah It was impressive to stand at the top today for the first time. Like, all right, gotta jump this thing today Awesome Right on. Well, how do you on it to call me? Grazie. Thank you very much for hanging out. Thank you. I wish you a wonderful day. Thanks. See you later We look forward to seeing you up there again for the second run And looking good in the borrowed gear there I like it. Good luck getting that bag from the airlines. All right next two drop. We got carl fosfett crazy Carl first place in 2018 the inaugural year of this event Had a big old left seven Into the cooling here we go words from carl goes big as I can and uh, Hope to keep everyone on the live stream just fired up stope the ski and uh, if you're watching this when you get done Go send it. Let's go Carl crazy. Carl. He's had the nickname since he was a kid. He said so, uh Second last year to travis rice. It was kind of a showdown between Travis and carl as we know travis ended up on the top of the podium But carl's been on the podium the last two years winning the king of corbit's title in 2018 And uh, let's definitely wanting to keep that trend going and stay on the podium this year He put some big spins into off the nose the last couple years. I know he had a switch five Uh, I believe he had a seven kind of worked out seven big left seven that first year that he won it. Yep And he's got the like Laziest coolest looking backflip like he kind of just like it's like he hits the recliner and the lazy boy And he just leans back and then the skis come around like it's it looks so good. I bet we're probably gonna see one Um, but yeah in two years ago when he won he took that really unique far skiers right line Like came up over the cliffs and then somehow just billy goaded through all those rocks Well third member our team tina dixon up at the top of corbit's with her figure on the pulse tina What's happening out there? Yeah, so I want to show you guys these are some of the run-ins As you head off this nose right there in the red jacket working on his takeoff That's carl. So he's got some big plans for us still working on that run-in Making sure everything is perfect and he's been eyeing up this this run-in and eyeing up his drop So I'm expecting some big things from him and you can see he's still working it out Well tina standing up there at the top who's really stood out to you. What have you been most impressed with up there? You know, I have to say that double backflip that slow double backflip from parkin the way he took off From up here. I didn't even think he was gonna get it all the way around. He just did that so smooth Uh, and then cooper was really worried about that cab 540 So he took a lot of time on that run-in just to make sure everything was dialed up perfect But it's been fun to watch these guys get set and ready to go How's that with the athletes up there? They all being loose and talking joking having a good time up there Does some seem really focused and concentrated? I say it is a combination. You see carl right now I mean he seems super super focused, but uh for the most part everyone's been really supportive of each other and it's it's been motivating Each other as well watching watching these guys drop, but Focused but also having a really good time. I mean, this is such a special event There's so much history with Corbett's that to be part of this and be up here and to be able to drop in for these athletes It's huge Well, thank you very much tina dixon. It was a pleasure catching up with her and we'll continue to do so She's got some very valuable insight up there at the top of corvettes, but let's check out here from carl His interpretation of progression I think we're just gonna see a ton of progression men women skiing snowboarding Everyone's out here to just have fun and send it some people are here to win But most everyone's here to just have fun stack shots and go big send it You He's feeling it Send it indeed crazy carl Loves to send it can't wait to see what he's got for us this year. What do you think you got a Predictions as far as what is dropping that corvettes is going to be here. Jeff if I was going to predict I'd say we're probably going to see a at least a Five maybe or seven off the top. I don't know. I mean he had that winning run two years ago I'd almost guarantee we're going to see a backflip. I'm hoping we do. I really really dig his style on those But there's so many hits now and there's so many options I mean once you get into the cool are you can go left or right You know, we haven't seen anyone actually go into coombs cave yet. There's a Many people may not know there's a cave halfway down on the left side the skiers left dedicated to the big mountain pioneer Doug cooms and uh, there's a plaque in their form So I don't know some people have you know tend to go in there and jump out of the cave But so many options this year It's really really cool to see how much of a slope style influence has has been combined with this big mountain comp Yeah, big shout out Doug cooms original king Of corvettes out here. Here we go crazy. Carl dropping in first first run Did he just do a 900 into that? I'm gonna have to look at the replay there to count A lot of saw three and a half rotations of us Might have been a 10 a 10 going or he took off forward. I think three rotations with a 10 there Making the seven look way too easy Can't wait to see this replay here for crazy. Carl. I need to see the replay. There were so many rotations We've got we've got some snowboard or some ski math to do right here Yeah, I was looking up into the coolly To see with my naked eye to get the overall impression Of his amplitude as he went in and I lost him in there on his landing So we'll take a look at the replay here big shout out to our whole camera staff all the staff All the production staff behind the scenes working out here in these elements And yet going for the 10 there and then he gets bounced around reverted Got it around though So the left 10 three four rotations there with the 1080 it's big left seven there for crazy carl Another unique line one less tooth than all our other competitors out here. We've got to pay to play. That's absolutely true Yeah, carl boss bet First place in 2018 the first year here of kings and queens corvettes second place last year behind Travis Rice Yeah, you can tell the crowd down here at the bottom intense sleep ball was still they they were really really waiting and Anticipating beautiful scenic shots out here. Look who that is Mr. Rob Kingwell aka kanger a kanger We shout out to yancy called well flying a drone out there getting some beautiful shots, but rob kingwell Kanger kanger was mentioned. He was just at the lbs at mount baker. Like he literally hauled back Uh on a flight last night Has it he's dropping in on the west wall no way That's the one we're talking about earlier honestly, so looking at it right now. It's looker's right Um, a lot of people drop it. I think you could wall ride it too I'm just kind of putting that out there. I don't know that that's ever been done. I've asked around but Yeah, sounds like kanger might be taking a really unique line off the top with a little bit of sun right there You can see kind of where that snow piles up. It's just below the go path A lot of the snow gets pushed down into the bottom of the west wall also gets blown in there So it's it's kind of it's the sweet spot But like we were talking about earlier if it's uh two beat up it can it can be your worst enemy Let's see what kinger decides to do. Like I said, he's just getting back from the the lbs He's he's actually won the the pro masters division there a couple years And I know he's really good friends with seth seth wescott who just took the pro division this past weekend Yeah, big shout out to the lbs legendary banks haul him out there at mount baker And everybody out there at baker. What a beautiful place kinger went in the the us open half pipe title back in 1998. That's when I first actually met him and uh He's still going like real strong real strong He and I he and I started a rail jam series here together about 13 years ago And he he comes out like all the time and films the kids. I mean he is like He has got to be one of the most stoked dudes in all of professional snowboarding kinger first dropped into corbettes in 88 Is that what he said? What year did you first drop into corbettes? Oh, good question. It was probably like 2003 or four something like that 1988 I was still skateboarding. Yeah, there's a nice shot of that west wall again first year. That's where Dr. Huck and stuff. Jeff ledger did that lawn dart off of it It's not not one of the more popular lines, but it's definitely unique You know and if he stomps it it could set him up real well to go right across the coulard and hit that first Cheese wedge kicker on the upper right skier's right rider's right side There's a beautiful shot there of big red See the cave a little bit down there and you heard kinger calling out some of the shots out there They're calling out some of the crew out there Where he was planning on heading to Yeah, kinger might be one of our if not the oldest competitor. I mean He just Has so much heart for snowboarding It is so cool Like any day that you get to spend on the mountain with kinger is going to be an awesome day Of skiing or snowboarding. He's just like the dude knows this mountain like the back of his hand And he's so just open and happy to share it with you and like no matter what's going on The guy's always in a good mood. It's like it's so infectious And he's turned that into a really cool event for the last about six or seven years He's got the shapers summit that he does here in jackson hole And he invites out all of these all these free ride and pal pal board brands Some of them are really small You know, maybe only making a few boards a year or maybe invite now like the big brands like Burton and lib and Having them come out with their with their free ride models But yeah, the the shapers summit has been really cool I mean talk about like the heart and soul of snowboarding You just get a bunch of your friends together and you get to go and ride the coolest boards like hand shape And you know, you see you've never seen so many swallow tails on on jackson hole at one time But yeah, kinger is just doing so many things in professional snowboarding still riding He runs his his company avalon seven He's into it It looks like kinger is ready to go. So here we go Rob kingwell first Run here first of two here for kinger iron up the west wall This is going to be radical Being the west wall coming in hot but able to shut it down in time for it looks like the first riders right wedge timeless style Washington kinger just rips and turns here in corvettes You know and again, this is just to remind everyone this is the first time a lot of these riders are Are hitting these features and rob hasn't even been here in the last few days, so he didn't even get to check them out There we go solid solid showing from hometown hero mr. Rob kingwell a kinger definitely Knocking on legend status in the snowboard world I'm doing it forever What a g kinger so so stoked to have him out here in this 2020 edition of kings and queens of corvettes And checking out the replay here on the entrance up on the west wall Yeah, so we kind of kind of got west wall into the goat path Pretty unique line right there in that front side grab and boning that one out for style measure. Yes kinger kinger and hawns reviewing Maybe talking strategy for the next run There's our there's our crowd down here at the base of 10th sleep bowl Jacksonville mountain resort It is so good to have everybody out here with us today All right Well, we have our next athlete to go five athletes left to take their first of two runs out here And we got another local getting ready to drop forest jillson Let's hear from forest I'm forest jillson. I'm 33 years old and I'm from Jackson, Wyoming corvettes I don't know what the big deal is that things pretty chill Skeet it with coffee in my hand the other day. I don't know why everybody's freaking out about the thing forest is Pretty mellow about it. He grew up. He grew up here in jackson. His dad was a patroller is a patroller I believe and so yeah, he's pretty familiar with corvettes. It seems like Well, I get skeet it with coffee in his hand. I think that's true story, Jeff I think it's a true story. I just don't know if he had a lid on it or not Get just getting ready to see the first of two runs out here for forest jillson Once again, the athletes can elect and not take their first run if they don't have to and also One thing we must note for their second run. We're not going to stick to the same start order out here As they can just get up there and go as soon as they are ready. So Forest jillson the local. Yeah, it's pretty much First come first serve for second runs for the west wall Love the exposure up there. That is that is one of the Like for everyone taking off the nose. It's a big air. You're kind of kind of going out and down But if you head over to the west wall, it's just a straight drop over a rock face all the way down And as we may as we just saw you could hear it here too Forest kind of catching a little bit at the end of that rock and trying to ride right into That powder apron that that blows in at the bottom, but it looks like it unfortunately Kept one of his skis Sometimes the cooly gives and sometimes it takes away Give it in it take it. All right. Well, he's gonna hike back up We got some ninjas up there to help retrieve here as well But it looks like force is gonna hike back up and check out the replay here dropping into the wet wall What do you what do you think something that how's your how's your math? How's your ski math on the That I know I try to be good at estimating, but I feel like I'm not the most accurate But I'd say that was a good 40 foot freefall I'd have to agree with you in the the good old days Seemed like it was always a little overestimated if you're doing it yourself, but I mean 40 feet that's a four story building Just jumping straight off the side of a four story building not for the faint of heart. All right Got his ski back on thanks to our ninjas out there on course helping to retrieve any Drop gear but ripping some turns in and coming into the bottom here to the beautiful sunshine It's nice smooth over that last booter there the local force jillson So four athletes left to take their first of two runs and then again, it's whoever gets up there first I can drop in as soon as they get back up. We'll just mix up the start order. It's up to the athletes who gets to drop Yeah, we've got order next We've got Grant Giller will will be on deck here followed by Sam Cooch Ashley Babcock and then Mikey Morone will round out our field of 24 Athletes today I know a lot of the athletes have been hanging out here at the bottom a tensile bowl watching their fellow competitors take their runs But once we get through everyone everyone's got to go There's no other way back to the top then to go all the way down to the bottom of jack snow mountain resort And jump back on big red grab the tram Yeah, and it's a lap that i've done quite a bit But when I come here i'm a visitor and so i'm kind of losing track of time and just enjoying it But how long would you say that lap takes? Because it seems like that's a good healthy hour plus long lap to get back to the top Uh, you know, I think for these guys and girls if they're If they're uh Put putting their a game into getting down It's it's not as long as you think especially if you know the quick way Um coming back up I don't know what's the tram takes about maybe 12 minutes or so 10 minutes around there I'm not exactly sure but I don't think it'll be a full hour But you know, we'll probably give them a solid half hour on that round trip All right, well Grant giller you hear him calling his shot Both grant giller and myself were just out at do tour at copper mountain in colorado this past weekend grant giller was competing In the street style event there and he and I both had to rush out of there and haul up here This little road warrior action to get up here in time So going from a rail event To a big mountain comp. Why wouldn't you shout out to grant giller much respect grant just got his commercial pilot's license, so He can now fly around and I was talking about that. What do we mean? He can fly people. He can fly me Yeah, he's like it's about 70 bucks an hour to rent a small little plane Here we go grant giller dropping in Or his first look here Yes, grant Going for the cab five switch the front side 540 in and a big old backflip made the backflip look real easy Oh Had the good snow in the landing there, but this got hung up there on that landing at the front three Pop it and switch for the final jump switch back seven Grant giller finishing strong Great first showing out here at kings and queens of corbids grant giller with the The honor he won the super park standout at snowboarder mags super park 22 or 22 That is no small feat. You know a little bit about that. You want to tell us about the standout how that gets decided Out the snowboarder magazine. They have super park every year where they Invite different park crews as we look at the replay here for the switch the front side 540 from grant in Going nice and big not holding back at all But super park they invite different park crews in to come build features Usually it's about four different teams four different mountains that have progressive drain parks And then it's an invite only event for a lot of the You know you get a lot of legends there But a lot of up-and-coming riders too and the standout award is a rider judge Just like this event is rider judge standout as a rider Judged award so grant voted by his peers to stand out of that event last year at chris All right on deck we've got mr. Sam kooch coming our way from nelson bc up in canada A hub of some amazing terrain. He is 22 years old and dropping 22nd in our roster today And let's hear some more from sam kooch Sam kooch 22 years old. I'm from nelson bc canada. I have zero experience with corvus cooler I've uh, I was recently invited here super stoked to try it out It's uh, it's obviously a legendary run and I'm excited to see if I can if I can handle it There you have it sam kooch just here experiencing corvettes nelson bc represent If you want to see more from sam check out matchstick productions return to sender He got best male performance award For his video video part there getting word that Matchstick is out here doing some filming right now Big shout out to murray and everyone at matchstick productions Based out of crested butte colorado Sarge we're in the 10 second countdown for sam's run Beautiful sunny skies here jackson. Oh here comes kooch Goodness oh kooch just getting hung up there on the landing Coming back strong like was that a Double cork ten at oh at the top at the top For your first time dropping into corvettes having never Been in corvettes as we just heard and he decides to kick it off with a double cork ten I mean little little tough times on the landing As we'll see here in a second, but Didn't slow him down not at all big shout out The sam kooch there first time dropping into corvettes It's going for it So we get another look at that replay there Looked like he kind of had it for a minute. I thought we I thought he was gonna get to He was gonna pull it out, but That second little zone after the go path Got him pretty good that 540 just coming up a little shy Getting over that knuckle there But he stoked Got to love the energy from sam kooch there nelson bc represent The energy Energy in general right now down here in tensley bull is so amazing. It's really really positive Two athletes left to go to take their first of two drops here Into corvettes to see if they can be crowned as the king or queen Of corvettes and this is ashley babcock Ashleigh babcock originally from veil colorado that's where she grew up now local here She's a member of the patrol. I think that is absolutely amazing She got a third place finish out here last year. Yeah, we're that she's gonna go Over to the west wall for her drop in ashley, uh Like you're just saying two years second year on ski patrol here at jacksonville mountain resort and this Corvettes coulard is actually her route route four. So this is uh when she's up here patrolling That's what she's doing the avalanche mitigation on and so she's pretty familiar with corvettes So I'd say that experience will lend helping her to find the nice soft land in the good transition Here in the corvettes. Yeah another one of our athletes today with a heavy ski racing background She was an nc double a racer and then got more into the big mountain scene. She's also uh in an academic She's a teacher and uh, she's our Student athlete support director at the local jackson old ski and snowboard club. So she's kind of Doing a bunch of different stuff all around amazing individuals. You see mikey maron Last guy to drop locals while standing up there talking to her here. She comes over the west wall Really just incredibly positive all the time. She's really fun to be around a little bit buck She was taking the similar line to what rob kingwell did and then it looked like once she dropped Off the west wall into the go path. She had a second bump in it and grabbed her ski, but She's going right to her though came right back obedient ski But much respect what an amazing human being everything that she is involved in She's claiming She can hear the crowd down here in tent sleeve cheering for her Look here at the replay of ashley babcock And it looks like the go path just kind of threw off a little bit there. Yeah, there was that that second error That I don't think she was anticipating You never know what the go path is going to be too. It's different every single year Some years it's actually been pretty mellow relative to corbett's Oh nice error there and I love just the smooth ski and you can tell she's very familiar with this Corbett's who we are He ain't up here for us now jeff Yeah, she's in a new zone for us today We haven't seen any skiers or riders heading over to that zone kind of behind that rock buttress right now and popping out You know, she's going to get the local up when she comes down here to the bottom corral A nice little nose butter three over the knuckle there ashley babcock Taking the third place spot last year here Kings and queens of corbett's invitational and there was one there was just one athlete left to drop Mikey maroon. He got a third place finish in 2018. He had a nice big backside 360 in the tail grab in that year From casper wyoming originally, but moved out here to jackson hole when he was 14. Yep Had a chance to Get a really fun run in with him yesterday Met up with one of my friends locals under his burling and oh, yeah, he was riding with him and Had a really good time following them down the mountain It's always nice coming in and getting a local perspective and not having to think about where to go And just following them around some of the natural hits. Yeah, mike. He's mike. He's kind of like flies under the radar. He is uh He's a really really solid rider actually I coached him for a little while When he was younger he was on our snowboard team here in jackson hole and just recently there was a little clip that got put out by by bluebird wax on On willy's instagram there, but then it got picked up by snowboard or mag With mikey doing this really really creative Frontside tail tap on this tall standing pole and then turning it into a back seven. It was I'd never seen anything like it. So yeah, I mean I don't know if underrated's the word like he's he's well known But you know, he's one of these guys He's sort of a sleeper and it's like everybody in jackson knows that mikey is a solid ripper And you know one of those guys that has not only all the tricks, but makes them look really good So mikey the last one to drop and you know, we can talk about strategy a little bit right here with this one Jeff, you know, what do you think is it better to go first? Later on once you can size up the competition and see what the Conditions are like see how the snows tossing everybody around. What are your thoughts on that? You know, I mean from the rider's perspective, they're not necessarily seeing what everybody's hitting down here So I would say that Judging just simply from how our weather's been and now we're getting a little bit more sun now that might be a little bit of Of a pro if you're going later in the field right now, but we've got some, you know, plenty of light on the course And I think there's I would imagine that the nerves at the front of the pack Have got to be a little bit different than at the back, right? Like it's been done. He's seen people taking off from different zones You know, I'm sure he's been up there by the lip watching where they're going to go He's got a good idea of what he's going to be doing so You know that first drop it There's not a ton of space up there and between the west wall and the east rock So that might be a little bit chewed up But honestly once you get past that if you can hang on from that first drop There's tons of options still and a lot of really good landings out there Is this from our perspective down here at the bottom? It looks like there's still plenty of good snow and plenty of good landings up there to be had Just got to watch out for some of the bomb holes out there But I'll tell you one thing about Mikey that really stood out for me He came on my radar that last year when I was here observing the event And he had that when you're looking up at the coolly it was a hit to the looker's right And he threw a huge zaguppy footer. So he's facing that That west wall if you will of the lower part of the coolly and he had a huge Back three that he drifted so close to the wall and I was talking. Oh, yeah That yesterday I was like that blew my mind. I started following him on insta immediately after that And I was very impressed and just wanted to see what other kind of content he puts out there Yeah with the tail grab, right? Yeah, and he was telling me that he was trying to touch the wall indeed Really? Yes, I did not know that about him. Yeah Looks like he's ready again. This is our 24th Competitor 24th athlete. This will round out our first runs. And so now We're gonna start getting into after Mikey second runs. Here we go Mikey Morone With the double backflip into the back three going massive. Oh And a snow snake caught him. Yeah, I got him for a tomahawk, but three gains himself A little bit low for this the crowd pleaser, but I don't think he needs that last jump to please the crowd. Wow, Mikey Morone Waving to the crowd Getting some of these freshies down here before coming through the red bull arch Double back. Have we seen a double back? I don't think we've seen a double backie from a snowboarder yet, have we? Not today and not to my recollection last year Or from the year before getting props From all the boys down here Mikey Morone the last one to go for his first of two runs And I wonder what he got hung up there in the middle of the middle of the center of the car row But how about this double backie? kind of poking it out the Haldor Halgeson style Does get a bit of a tuck knee in especially on that second one Just a quick little butt check, but he was right back up on his feet quick enough to make it to that that first wedge on the right That was amazing Much respect to Mikey Morone for that. What a way to finish out our first runs Mikey Morone our 24th 24th and Final rider for first runs and now we're going to send our athletes all the way to the bottom and get them back up here Again, not every athlete has to take their second run Well, there you have it first runs in the books for our 24 athletes out here at the 2020 kings and queens of corvettes And we got run two and more action coming up for you next Welcome back everybody and for our facebook viewers that was a scene from michelle parker's amazing show originate Available on redbull tv. Well, we just saw all of our athletes get their first of two goes out here In corvettes cooler are here in jackson hole Wyoming one of an amazing event It is great conditions out here as the sun is coming out the action has been non-stop, but Again, we've got a third member of our team that we've been checking in with throughout this event tina dixon Up at the top and tina's got a special guest up there tina. How's it going up at the top of the coulee? Yeah, thanks dc. Well, uh one of the highlights last year was trevor kennison like absolutely launching off of corvettes cooler The first guy on a sitski to do that. Just tell us about your experience. Um, no I was very very fortunate to come up here last year and uh, you know sitting right behind us You know my first drop in but um, you know, everyone was super helpful with travis You know and running me through just where where I want to you know jump into the sky And uh, you know executing it and knowing I needed to stick that double bounce, but um, yeah, man It was uh, my my adrenaline was pumping What was it like when you got down to the bottom and looked back up Uh, it was awesome such a good feeling just like looking up and down at the crowd like the whole cooler was roaring And uh, honestly just couldn't stop smiling when I got to the bottom So to hear the sound of the crowd because it was they were roaring I mean and you can go back and watch footage of it and it is so impressive To hear that support. What was that like? Oh, it was amazing. Like I said, you know, I just had it's a team effort You know and it like having the support and I got down there my buddy matt dordy Just come and give me the biggest hug and buddha gave me a jackson air Air force a whole patch and it was just awesome, man Did you ever anticipate dropping it and dropping it that big? I guess I didn't know When you landed you also took another drop though kind of walk us through that Yeah, um the day before I took a like a 25 foot cliff 20 foot cliff My binding was one whole forward. So I got that double bounce from the day before So I was like coming into this I was like, all right, I'm gonna get a double bounce You know, especially if I don't go over the go path got the double bounce I was like, all right, just try to ride that one out and I went probably bigger on the second one to the first It was so great to see and then just talking to you earlier. You've got some really big goals You set out for yourself. What's next for you? I'm actually Next is I'm trying to pull a road back gap flip or sorry road gap back flip and then the first ever dub soon So we'll see wow that road gap. Have you have you chosen a location yet? I have. Yep I have one in mind right around where I broke my back. So Go back up there and get that road. Yeah, the veil pass some big things ahead for trevor kennison Thanks so much for hanging out up here. What do you think of the competition so far? Oh No, it's these guys are doing dub tens Backflips man, Veronica stomped a first ever backflip So sick. I love to see the progression And these athletes are killing it. So can't wait to cheer you guys on. Yeah, thanks so much for hanging out with us Again, so great to see you dc. I'm gonna back down to you Right on. Thank you so much our tina dixon and trevor based out of trevor kennison What an amazing guy he is so cool. I had a good chance to catch up with him at dinner last night He's got some awesome plans awesome things going on. Yeah, for sure That was a heavy run that he put down last year is really cool to see Yeah, this went absolutely viral too after he did it too. Yeah Big shout out. Well, like I said, we've already seen one run go down So let's go ahead and take a recap. Take a look back at some of the action We've already seen out here in corvus There's kate zealot our reigning queen Veronica paulson on her stomp backflip a couple of angles on that one Seen the light go in and out but nice and sunny out here Looks like we've got double there big old jay cop finger jay cop finger. Yeah, and we saw Then we saw parking costa. They're a big double backflip as well And then mickey maroon the last guy to drop doing the big old double backflip with the tuck knee as well That was stiley. Yeah a lot I mean, did you ever think you'd see so many people throwing backflips double backflips double corks off of corvus? I mean, I don't think this crossed anyone's mind except maybe jesse mcmillan who three years ago decided Hey, I've got an idea for a contest. It's unbelievable what we're seeing today She's been down here cheering him on and definitely shout out to jesse mcmillan. Yeah, absolutely And it's done out here everybody in the jh mar events and marketing department and on top of that They're they're race crew and they're ski patrol everybody everybody here is Putting in a ton of hours to get this together this this These features and corvus do not build themselves like we've been talking about the race crew or the park crew's been out here But again jason more and his whole race crew like you mentioned the ninjas They're all hiding up there and the rocks ready to grab bits and pieces if anybody leaves a little equipment behind But yeah huge thanks to everybody here at jackson old mount resort. This is just like I mean what an amazing event At first years ago people thought no one would even ski corvus Then they skied it then you had guys like joe larrow sending 80 feet all the way to the cave back in the late 70s And now we've got an actual contest happening into corvus core for the third year in a row and it's only getting better and better Yeah, it's absolutely amazing and corvus again one of the most iconic features on any mountain world renowned Corvus is and for more history on corvus. Well, let's let's learn a little more history on corvus My name is jessica millen I'm the events and partnership manager at jackson mountain resort and a professional skier We started dreaming of a competition at jackson mountain resort We really thought and it would be so cool to have a competition in corvus Corvus as a venue is a perfect place Corvus is like a stadium because you can ski a really easy route around right to the bottom and look back up to it Doug coombs was always the king of corvus And I really thought this would be a really neat way to honor Doug's spirit as a female. Well, shoot. We can't just have kings We're gonna have kings. We better have queens So there it was kings and queens of corvus jackson hole invited tops gears and snowboarders from around the world to have this Ultimate session. I really wanted to create an event that was for the athletes So I wanted to put the judging in their hands. I didn't separate the athletes from male female or skier snowboarder It was everyone going at once. We needed a perfect venue So we ended up closing corvus and let the snow pile in there was a little bit of shaping down to enhance a couple features throughout the cool war The fact that we get this opportunity to ski it in perfect conditions is outstanding I don't usually do competitions but this one seemed different with the whole athlete judge They're building some jumps inside of corvus as well I think the boys are going to get a bit mental and I think the girls are going to push their boundaries And I'm just really excited to be a part of it. The athlete judge component is awesome It turns it more into a session or a photo shoot rather than a contest I think it's pretty sick that everything is like skiers snowboarder combined I picked number one today going on thursday will be on the first february Which is also my birthday. So yeah, we'll see how this goes first the drop The morning of competition day, there was this incredible amount of energy 25 athletes that know they're about to send it into corvus Standing at the top just heads looking in and and then it got really really quiet No one knew what to expect and as soon as hawns dropped in He set the tone Beautiful things I'd ever seen and everyone knew that it was time to throw it out Yes, the senior of events in partnerships manager jess mcmillan out here. Jess. How you doing this morning? I'm speechless really. I am doing absolutely incredible Um, we got the weather. We got the snow and the athletes are throwing down I mean, it couldn't be a better day here at corvus How does it feel to see that your dream child come to fruition a third year in a row? Gosh, I mean to to think about, you know Drawing this out on a napkin and then to see it in year three. It's um, it's really special I don't know how else to say that I mean it's it's something that you envision and without the athletes without all of our partners Everything it all came together and it's it's just magic And talking to you last night a little bit about the history of this event You said uh, this kind of came about over a couple beers one night Yeah, I competed for a long time Um, and for me, I really wanted to create an event that was about the athletes for the athletes and let them decide You know, hey, this is what's rad and skiing and snowboarding. Um, so yeah I had a few beers did a little brainstorming and uh, here we are kings and queens of corvus I think it's really amazing like the the entry or the welcome speech you gave the other night at the athlete meeting About how much thought and effort goes into making this for and about the athletes Like it's so cool. A lot of contests are just about like putting on the contest and they're just the talent But here it's for them to have fun. I mean, yeah, it's a little more about that It's about bringing everyone together men women skier snowboarders and celebrating being in the mountains and kind of pushing the limits Together, it's not, you know, you won or you lost or anything like that It's celebrating the sport and being in the mountains So I was super bummed not to be on the athlete tram this morning to just get that whole vibe from them Came up early though. I was really happy to see a beautiful sunrise One of the reasons why I really wanted to be on that train as well was to hear your speech to the athletes And uh, last night you're talking about you weren't sure exactly what to say How did that speech go out and would you tell the athletes coming up that athlete camp this morning? Uh, it went really well. I mean what I told them is have a blast support each other high fives hugs Corvus is one of the most special places in the world You get this an amazing energy and feeling in there and enjoy it. Have fun Yeah, I'd say they're having a pretty darn good time out here. Yeah having fun is not the Not a hard thing for them to accomplish and it's legit because this isn't like just some Like corporate person decided to put on a contest. Jesses was a competitor for years two-time world freeride champion I mean this comes from the heart of someone who has done this and wants to see it happen more So it's it's truly a special event that you put together. Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you Couldn't do it without the athletes all about them All right. Well, let's talk about the athletes first run. We just saw go down We saw all 24 athletes get a first run in some of the standout moments from the first runs for you, Jess I think for me, it's that that very first drop. Uh, we talked with the athletes Do we want someone to go in test the snow give a course report? And That's when I have the most anxiety I'll remember every single first drop of kings and queens Hans mendrick is the very first one watching him float into it today Kate zealot just off the nose and stomping. I mean that that for me. It's it's that initial. Okay. Here we go And uh, talk about some of the other moments we saw of court. Well down here when Veronica stomped that backflip You were just over here to our right and we heard you yelling like first time or sorry third time's a charm You're super excited for her. Yeah, she's wanted that backflip so badly and she's tried it the last two years And she nailed it this year. That was insane watching her lay that out and put it right to her feet. It's beautiful Do you have any sense of uh, you've been milling around any sense of how many of our athletes are going to take second runs? Have you talked to anyone about that? It sounds like most athletes do want to take a second run Um, obviously we're watching weather. Uh, my weatherman's been on the phone It's going to be in and out a little bit, but um, so far. I think most people want to take a second run Right on. Well, Jess McDonnell, thank you so much And it's a beautiful thing to see your dream come true here in the third year of kings and queens of corvettes And again, just thank you so much for everything that you have done and your whole staff out here Nice work. Congrats, Jess. Thanks. Cheers All right, well We have already seen one run go down one more run to go out here and uh here and just say that most athletes Want to take their second run. That's exciting news. I'm stoked to hear that I was hoping that like we wouldn't have you know half of them Fall off and say i'm good. Well, we don't know exactly what's going to happen But that is good news to hear that a lot of them really want to get back up there And I mean we know some of them still have some room to improve So hopefully we'll see most of the field if not all of them. Yeah, well second runs coming your way That means a lot more action coming your way here at the 2020 kings and queens of corvettes And if you are on facebook, you just watch a scene from bobby brown's latest film dynamic medium available in full On red bull tv, but we're ready for the second runs out here for the kings and queens of corvettes We've got a special guest out here in the booth while this wide open booth bobby brown out here in the house Bobby, how you doing man? Oh, i'm doing great. This is this is wild. That's a good show so far for sure All right on well coming out of colorado, but uh spending the season out here in jackson for your first Time ever how's that been treating you? Yeah, I mean this season's been crazy. January was insane Like didn't see much sun, but saw a ton of snow and skeet some of the deepest snow i've ever skeet in my life So it's been a change and a good change for sure Deepest january on record. Yeah. Yeah, it was heavy That's got to be pretty epic being part of that and you're residing over by the base of storm king and uh Living in town. Everyone's been nice nice and hospitable to you Yeah, jackson's been amazing He spent three months out here last year and we're just like let's just try and make this full time So we've kind of made the switch and uh really going for it and it's been amazing season so far So is this your first time seeing kings and queens of corvettes go down? Were you out here last year? No first time and it's probably the gnarliest live event i've ever seen in my life So i'm just blown away right now. I'm just like kind of tripping Anything that's standing out from those first ones that you saw that you're sam kooch going for the dub 10 I'd have to say that was the highlight for me Just because I went to the top and I saw the little kicker and it's like 20 feet back from the takeoff so Dub 10 off like a three foot tall lip seems pretty gnarly and then also carl going for the 10 reverting and then end up coming in switch and doing a switch cork 5 perfect off the left side so I mean every single person is kind of just charging who's ever hitting that thing. It's pretty amazing And you're such an accomplished slope style and big-air athlete so many accolades to to your name And I've seen you ski in the big mountains as well and you absolutely rip out there But would you ever think of throwing double corks into corvettes? You knew that question was coming Yeah, no, no, and like that's why i'm standing right here. So all the all the praise and respect to these guys doing it I don't think my knees could handle it. So i'm just going to be viewing viewing this event, but Um, it's been a fun watch so far All right, well, let's go ahead and have a look at a teaser for your video project dynamic medium that you just uh Had come out this year and you had all the premieres for it earlier on in the season And I would really love to pick your brain more about that video project But I think we're going to take a look here at a teaser for your video project dynamic Bobby brown doesn't need an introduction The free skiing sensation searches for the ultimate line on skis around the globe Together with his friends Dynamic medium Yeah, such an amazing project there with dynamic medium and how's the response been to that film? Yeah, that was that was fun It was awesome. Um, yeah, I don't I don't really know the sponsor kind of moved on to this next season But everyone seemed excited about the project and uh was just a dream come true to be able to make our own movie So one thing I always like to ask friends whenever they're filming a project I love the backstores. There's so many backstories to any film project out there What were some of the highlights for making that movie? Uh, I mean just being with my brother and he shot the whole film and was really fundamental in that and Just skiing again I didn't really hurt money super bad and didn't know I'd be Back skiing at that level. So just felt good to be back in the mountains and going deeper and trying new zones Love it. All right, bob. You might hang out for a couple minutes here We got a We got our athletes getting ready to drop here for their second of two runs Then it's going to be senator Hadley dropping in first here. He got second place back in 2018 Had uh five tricks talking about The slope style athlete here bobby brown sander treated that like a slope style, of course Yeah, that was crazy to switch five and then into the the mega flat off the hit Um, he's just flowing sander's got amazing style and just can ride the mountain so naturally So i'm excited for the second run. All right. Well, I'm gonna keep you here for a minute if you're cool with that I want to hear your call your interpretation of what you're gonna go down here. Oh man We got a little bit of snow coming down, but not too bad The visibility's still really good some's blasting through so hopefully that holds up for our second round of runs here We're kennison coming down here now making a guest appearance here at the base Yeah, trevor good. Are you? Yeah, trevor. So it looks like visibility. Well looking up the cooly from here. It doesn't look too bad You keep the syrupy. I got it Right half they lost their comp So again, these second runs are totally random order just based on When our athletes got back up to the start a lot of them hung around Down here at the base and tensly bull watching all their fellow competitors runs And so now we're getting them all back up at the top and they'll be letting us know who's going to be dropping I know as we said, we've got sander hadley in the gate there And then he'll be followed by madison blackley and then zoe vernin for our first three of the second run All right, sander looking like he is ready to go and bobby go ahead and take us through it coming in Sander huge switch five on the top coming in straight air bolts Just flowing oh, he's gonna boost this one on the road step Proud's pumped for sander with his first run out here He had five tricks in not as many this time around but still a very impressive Performance out there for sander kind of all has everything to do with that first hit That was huge that one was way bigger than his first hit and the fact that he just keeps The ability to get back on his feet and get down to the bottom kind of blows my mind so Man hitting that thing twice same day after 25 people it takes it takes a lot so that puts it in perspective Yeah, for sure. That's so heavy next up. We're gonna be having madison blackley dropping in Madison coming up from park city, utah films in the streets a lot. You've been filming in the streets at all bobby No street filming for me. No Yeah, it's cool. All right. She's got some rail riding and now some Big mountain. What do we even call this big mountain slope style? It just is the kings and queens of corvettes. It's in it's in its own classification. There really isn't anything else like this It's tea and something up So bobby, what's been one of your more memorable powder days out here in jackson this year? I mean the other day it was crazy. I think it was friday and just went out of the gates and it was just like Blower like people would hit hit you'd hit a little popper and you'd disappear over the head and went out with jossy My brother colby ward pretty amazing day out there for sure Jossy wells. Yeah, jossy wells torneater wallace. All the boys are out here getting into the bc. So it's been a good time I don't know if you know this but jackson's kind of a big deal People like coming here and bobby just from your competitive experience. How important is it to give athletes? Just the time that they need to get in the mental headspace. They need to be in before they drop in here Yeah, you got to collect yourself, especially into something like this where the consequences are this high Um finding your little zen moment is uh, definitely important Here comes madison smooth entrance there keeping it a little conservative coming in through the go path You know something that we haven't really talked a lot of obviously The jumps all the hits are a big deal of it a big part of it But it's also just the flow like keeping it together, right? We don't want to see people just stop into the middle of the run and trying to figure out where they're gonna go So there's a lot of pressure on the athletes today to just find their line Holding on to that front three Madison blackly finishing off with a nice frontside three on the crowd pleaser Getting the reggae air horn at the finish And you know you've done a good job So madison two runs completed here for her first time in two corbets here for kings and queens of corbets Taking a look at the replay here for madison good smooth interpretation here the cooly and then the nice big front three it that Man made Booter here at the bottom. All right, we've got zoe verning coming up next Third of our second runs here today at kings and queens of corbets Invitational Can't just go out and qualify for this Baker washington. She's been doing a lot of bank slalms. Yeah, I'm doing really well on them too Here's zoe dropping in Second run for zoe There we go zoe's staying on her feet on that first Riders right wedge. Look like she's getting a little method there I think we're seeing a little bit a little bit more conservative runs here for some of our Second runs today. That's a nice palturns there in the middle amongst these riders. What's more important? Completed smooth top to bottom run or just boosting off the top corbets I mean from my point of view I think just like keeping the speed no matter like if the landings are clean or not and just Continuing your run. I think to me. That's the gnarliest like when I said the guys launch Off the cornice land and like maybe it's a little sketchy But still hold it together and make all the other features like That's the craziest stuff to me and you know, like I said earlier Just like the flow of the whole run and this the continuous speed and just the charging is like I mean, I think that encompasses what this event's all about. So I don't know it'll be interesting to see kind of what the what the results look like but Talk to bottom is always nice, but a little extra charge and some risk. I think it go a long way Do you think it's more or less pressure that it's peer judged? Yeah, I think I think it's less because I think The real riding comes out and there's not the guy, you know, the the riders know what each guy's going through So it's like they hit the cornice they go down They know how gnarly it is and so they get to kind of assess the situation Right there like in person. So I think it's pretty cool that way. Yeah, it's definitely a really rad format So growing up in colorado, how many times did you get to come and road trip up here to jackson when you're young? Yeah, never no just like in the last three years We've spent so much time a couple months each season and then more You know, it's been a longer and longer each time until we finally decided like let's make this our home base. So Um, yeah, so close yet so far away. It's so you know, um, I don't know just kind of out there It's a little extra to get here. So I kind of kind of missed some good years growing up not coming out here But colorado has some goods too my first trip here I think was about 15 years ago and with corvettes being as iconic as it is It was like one of the first things to check off had to drop in when I first made my trip here My first pilgrimage here pretty well because it is such a special place. What about you? Come in here. When was your first time dropping into corvettes? It's a couple years ago But when you come up the tram and you see it for the first time like You just trip out and you see, you know all the sends that have happened in that and it just blows your mind Each time you kind of go up and I've never really, you know gone for it hard. So it's just Like I said, like I'm just tripping at how crazy everyone's going on this thing and uh, you know I'm sitting here at the bottom just talking about it. But those guys, you know, are the real warriors today It's pretty amazing. So no tricks in the corvettes. We no tricks yet, but you know, maybe down the road I could you know, just get get ready and get get on these guys's level and maybe get out there Seen some giant double back flips from you into some I love that some of our athletes today were like You know what we really need is to build a bigger takeoff at the top of corvettes like building up their own lips I love that and that's like sam sam's dub, uh dub cork 10 All right, marissa cross it Mount basher local dropping in Going for the nice big drop and Yeah, that's yeah, she really hugged that left left so riders left west wall Kind of took a different line off the nose like a little bit of a setback She aired out over the go path and was trying to land right there in that pocket at the bottom of the west wall Again, it can be your best friend or your worst neighbor if there's good snow in there and it's not too beat up You've got a nice soft landing But if there's been a bunch of people in there already or if it just blew in a little too firm You never know what you're gonna get but Marissa blasted over the final jump out here and That bobby brown here in our booth if you will here at the base keep calling it a booth, but we are nice and open air But bobby, thank you so much for stopping by and catching up with us I appreciate it Awesome moving up here to jackson and uh continue to enjoy the rest of the season up here Sounds good guys. Cool. Good to see you right on Thanks Yeah, make sure you guys definitely check out. See you take care of your dynamic medium If you guys have not done so yet you can catch it in full on red bull tv So just seeing marissa crawdack Coming out of oregon mount bachelor To be specific her home mountain This there with the lovely town of bend in its shadows Do you spend much time in bend you ridden bachelor? I have not yet never ridden bachelor I've always wanted to have a lot of good friends from there. So many legendary riders come from that mountain Yeah, and then you got legendary surfers that now choose to call that mountain home including mr. Pipeline jerry lope Yeah, absolutely But he uh speaking of jerry lopes He has a really cool event the big wave challenge that he does there that it always like to go check out But I heard it's a really fun mountain. You know, it's 360 degrees around that mountain. It's a volcano, right? A lot of cool wind drifts on it. Yeah a lot of fun transitions for playing hannah beamon getting ready to drop in for her second of two runs And let's hear from hannah beamon as she gets ready to take her second of two runs My name is hannah beamon i'm 37 years old and i'm from bellingham washington I first got to ride corbettes here Oh man, maybe 2002 every year I come back We we take a run through it check it out hit some of the natty hips and stuff in there and it's always really fun um Kind of a classic must must do when you get here Some words from hannah beamon living out in bellingham washington now selling real estate out there It's about uh about a little over an hour drive up to mount baker Where she calls home now her home mountain free riding mecca out there. It's just like this place and yeah She just blows me away every time I come here looking around at the train and all the options You're so lucky to be able to call this place home jeff in 20 plus years There's still pockets on this mountain that I haven't I haven't written to it's not that I don't want to go Find them it's just there's so many other things that you get drawn to you know You get kind of in your in your little uh routine But yeah, hannah is a very familiar face here in jackson. She comes out literally every winters good buddies with travis and Some filming with him and as we know she's been a familiar face here at kings and queens the last two years Ending up on the podium both years third uh in 2018 and second last year Yeah, what a diverse athlete field we have out here just the background of all these athletes hannah alone We could spend an hour of this show talking about her background and all her accomplishments But we got patrollers People involved in the local shredding community world champions olympians uh teacher She's also the patroller wild a real estate agent a real estate agent pilots Such a diverse field. I love it so many jibbers Here we go hannah beamin dropping in looks like uh coolie here There you go bruising down kind of hard to get uh visibility from our perspective up here right now She had a backside three off that first wedge Looked like she went for a little bit more of a conservative line in took the go path Up and over that second rock. It is a little bit tougher visibility right now for sure Here to the final booter and you grab in owning that one out hannah beamin a student of style knows how to do it right and Her second of two goes and awesome heaven hannah beamin out here Total legend in the snowboard world for sure. Yeah working on what 20 plus years of pro career coming from the x games transitioning more into the backcountry filming career and Doing really well with it So taking a look here at the replay Replay if you grab on the crowd pleaser It is wild it I love I love being here at kings and queens. It is such a big production All right next up uh getting where we're going to have carl fosfett Who was your winner back in 2018 second place finish last year? He wasn't the king last year. It was travis rice Who was awarded that crown? But crazy carl crazy carl One one last tooth this year looks like As you were saying earlier you got to pay the dues sometimes That is a given Well, let's go ahead and take a look back at carl's first run crazy carl's first run Going for the 10 in I love it getting bounced around there and then coming off switch for that switch five invisibility A little better for carl on his first goes. We've got a little bit of snow coming in here a nice 720 there From carl got some sun on the on the course earlier A little like we're still getting some sun, but it's pushing through it's pushing through a little bit of a snow squall here So it'll be interesting to see if uh crazy carl Decides to send off the nose as big as he did in the last run Something tells me that he's going to he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that likes to hold back So getting some maintenance up there on the takeoff And that's what these athletes were encouraged to do to come out here this morning and Shape those takeoffs. However, they see fit Love that diy aspect out here for kings and queens of corbits Yeah, it really puts a lot on uh on the athletes or for the athletes They want a new lip a different lip go for it set it up the way you want I mean If they had a vision if their vision is to go double backie into corbits Who are we to stand in their way let them build that lip Do you ever get a chance to watch a red bull rampage? I've seen it. Yeah It's wild that and I'll get back to more on that with the diy aspect But the third member of our team who is such a trooper hanging out at the top in the elements tina dicks and tina What's happening up there? Oh, yeah, well the athletes are getting ready for their second runs and it's really about redemption for a lot of them Carl you can see again behind me. He's working on his takeoff Carl, you know, he did that massive 1080 but didn't get the landing. He wanted he wanted to land forward He kept doing the run. He kept going, but he definitely wants some redemption Some other names up here tim dursey Cooper brandham. So there's some other big names up here looking for some redemption in that second run And also there's I took a peek over the nose still some pockets So some some pockets to be landed in and then of course those fresh powder turns at the bottom dc Thanks tina tina. Who would you say is uh one of the more colorful characters that you've seen up there at the top Who's uh kind of taking the charge of uh keeping the mood light up there and joking around the most grandkiller A lot of the snow boy camp fits patrick. Yeah, they're just you know, they've been Practicing their speeds and warming up to the lips. But yeah, they're all having a good time up here for sure Tina how excited are you to get back to the continuum later this afternoon and try out the hot tub there What I'm warm. What are you talking about? It's nice and toasty up here All right on tina. Thank you so much and definitely continue to stay warm up there tina. It's always pleasure having her on Thanks tina Cybein reporter for the whole action sports world. She's been on her hustle She was just out in hawaii like two weeks ago for the vulcan pipe pro out there So right and then you guys are just in uh copper for due together, right? Yep. Yeah So, uh, I don't know if she knows what time zone she's in right now I'm getting word that rylan bell is dropping in right now and uh, well, that's great giller that you just saw doing a slip there So getting word that it's actually gonna be rylan bell dropping in because I think crazy carl's still working on his takeoff and Again just to stress to you guys first run We had an order an athlete's start sheet That these athletes were going to be dropping in this second run It's pretty much a free-for-all up there. It's whoever gets up there and is ready to go And they don't have to take their second round if they don't want to as well Rylan given the sign it looks like he's getting uh close to being ready. It looks pretty uh Pretty calm cool and collected. I get the sense that once they've done it once it's still It's scary, but a little bit easier to put yourself into it than it was the first time All right, here we go rylan bell looking like he is dropping in And then coming into the go path and then there we go Getting some pow at the bottom of that west wall back three in again Yeah, kind of going across court there. That was a little bit of a fresh line people haven't been Shredding that apron at the bottom of the cliffs right there nice frontside three A little bit of a buck and often not to air in taking that go path in but it was very smooth navigation of that go path Is he had a nice fluid line in getting the high five from jess mcmillan here at the base area Yeah, it's got to be cool. I mean just getting back to jess mcmillan, right? I mean Sitting around one night having a couple pops and thinking wow What if we did a contest in the corbitz and then here we are third year of kings and queens of corbitz invitational Really, uh, impressive that she made that dream come to fruition and it's a really big production here. We've got I've heard we've got over 60 people or something just working on the gopro crew Or the red bull crew big shout out to everybody out here all the behind the scenes production staff Coming out putting it down in these elements this morning when we got up here the cameraman We're all geared up bundled up getting ready to head out there And they're perched up on top in some precarious positions top in some precarious positions So next up could she get the three-peat this year? This is going to be kate zelef originally hailing out of new hampshire new hampshire We used to call ourselves. Well the dirt crew so I guess that makes her a dirt. She's one of us So jackson hold cool now I'm queen of corbitz here and it's the circuit mc for university of new hampshire And then uh like so many of us new englanders do jumped on that underground railroad Quite a few people from out here in jackson and uh, which is good We got those that nice gritty new england personalities out here. It's good to have some of that that piece of home Yeah, when your stomping grounds are on the ice coast You know you get that edge control you learn how to control your equipment You get out here to some soft conditions. Absolutely Yeah, I can do that grow up learning how to huck your chick tricks and uh on the east coast parks and it's like wait Wait a minute jackson all has softer landings. All right. I might stick around for a year or 20 All right, so getting word that kate is taking a shorter run in which we can interpret into what jeff Well, I think uh, she had a pretty solid It's worth it just for the vibe Down here in the finish growl like people are so into it. I mean it's understandable Why this is one of the coolest events in the world not not to mention I mean not only is it unique that we've got this total like big mountain free ride slope style event in corbitz, but We also We also have skiers and snowboarders. We also have skiers and snowboarders competing for the same title Which is so cool, right? It doesn't come down to like specific snowboard tricks or specific ski tricks It's like who's putting down the most impressive run from the top to the bottom in corbitz and uh, hopefully staying on their feet So really really unique event format here today It's also as we've talked about with it being rider judge It's just like it's a breath of fresh air in the skiing snowboard industry You know, it's like it's really nice and thanks to jhmr Well those for for those of you viewing at home I think you guys just lost us for a second there and we apologize for those technical difficulties We're in some extreme elements out here And I challenge anyone there at home of viewing to try to produce an event outside in these elements You know, you're gonna run into some hiccups here. This is a live event So apologize for that hiccup there But just to bring you up to speed with what you may have just missed Your two-time defending queen out here for kings and queens of corbitz. Kate zeleff Just had an amazing second of two runs there And uh, really really impressed us especially not only with the control and speed that she Approached her line here But coming in and coming in so hot to that final booter and landing way at the bottom of the landing So much props kate zeleff who uh, you have a magazine with her on the cover Oh, I do. Yeah, kate zeleff. She's uh, she's actually on the jacks the 2020 jackson hole dining guide It's not even a ski mag there. She is Presenting some food. So this mag is produced by the same people who who produced the jackson hole skier wade mccoy and and all those guys So, yeah, it's cool. Um to see kate. Oh, here we go. Let's uh, share that with the king. Oh, yeah, you got the mags Here's that other one we were talking about this is 37th annual jackson hole skier with sander on the cover there So a couple local mags All right, I love it. All right. Well back to the action here. We got crazy carl getting ready to drop in Carl fosvet. We saw him up there working on his takeoff. What's he gonna do? I imagine uh, giving the work that he's putting in there. We might see something different We saw the left hand from him That was big, I don't know there with that 1080. I wonder if he's gonna go a little more conservative I mean conservative for him though is still a seven off the nose as we've seen before We go crazy carl either tiger a few steps up higher Maybe waiting for a little bit of a a weather window. We do have this moving through pretty quickly. Here we go He's dropped in can again losing a ski crazy carl living up to the namesake there How many people Have tried a 1080 into corvettes if I'd have to guess I'd say maybe one person twice I don't I've never heard of someone else doing a 10, but you know, there might be someone out there I I'm not the encyclopedia on on corvettes history But it's definitely a very very short list of people who've tried to throw a 1080 into corvettes coulard crazy carl fosvet on that very short list We thought maybe he would possibly take the the conservative route for a second run, but Not at all turned it right up. Here we go Got it around clean. It's just a bit of a chewed up landing at this point in the day And reaching back for that tail grab as well. Good to see him getting the blunt there on that left 10 Unfortunately losing a ski Then we got our ninjas up there to help retrieve equipment though big shout out to the ninjas There's some cave ninjas up there too. I heard I think there's gonna be like five Cave ninjas in that five cave ninjas. It's a pretty big cave up there the old the old coombs cave It's a fun little place to hang out Kind of it's kind of it's part of the reward if you if you Are willing to drop into corvettes, whether it's via the goat path or air in Once you get in it's uh, it's a little bit of reward You get to take that hard left and hang out in the cave and then getting out of the cave is fun too It's like a another drop right back into, uh, the gut of the cooly Good spot for a party in that cave. You could you could throw a party in the cave for sure You know what? I'm pretty sure it's happened. All right, that's tim dursey now at the top Getting himself set to drop Dursey another familiar face around these parts here in jackson hall as we talked about uh Filming with tgr a big part of uh, not only their films with the whole tour and help them promote that in the off seasons Dershey originally out of Alaska aliesca The town of girdwood at the base really fun mountain Up there it's a south of anchorage For the drop here for 10 there she So fun just trying to see what the best way for us to watch it is You know, we have our monitor here, but obviously with corvettes right behind us You want to turn around and watch it live action? Really grasp the magnitude of how big these athletes are going I wonder what lawni ball thinks of uh kings and queens of corvettes I know he uh, there was an edit that came out not too long ago with him and blaine gallivan Blaine a local guy here and a former competitor While getting word that tina dixon at the top's got a report for us tina. What's happening? Yeah, just a quick update on the weather up here Actually, we've got some snow coming in and some uh the visibility starting to get a little bit tougher for these guys You know, you can still see the takeoffs and the lips, but weather is starting to approach Tim's now dropping in for his second run and when he came up here He's like, where do I sign up for my second run? So he was motivated for this one Thank you very much tina dixon with the weather update up there as we just saw crazy carl Crews through and have a good uh lower half of his run going for the switch of seven off that final booter and Lost a ski on that one, but he powered through and just skied away cleanly We've got tim dursey's in the cooly There he is way over skiers right Still fresh tracks on that side of the cooler for sure Tim dursey coming over the final crowd pleaser Kind of a even the ski of carl fosfit as well at the same time Tim had a cool line there. He kind of Cut back and forth went first hard skiers right way farther than Most of the field's been going and then went all the way back skiers left and kind of got that cross court Pop off the second bottom cliff there. So And a big shout out to tim. Thanks again for joining us He hauled down here after the free ride world tour event at kicking horse last week Where he was competing there on the free ride world tour and uh, yeah tim What an animal all right next to drop we are going to see jake jake hopfinger who had the Double backflip on his first go out here. This is his first time competing out here at kings and queens of corvettes There's out of upstate new york now bozeman montana his home mount or his home town This north of big sky And well We're switching things up live action here again. It's uh, whoever's ready can drop So getting word that it's actually going to be grant giller who's going to be dropping in grant giller originally out of golden colorado Spent some time over in europe doing his thing over there Really blowing up on the international scene So again with this second run there is no specific start order that we got to stick with first round There was which again was really cool the way they determined the start order. It was a complete lottery Where the total lottery pick pick the ping pong ball and you were there for that They could have just thrown some names in a hat, but no no no they went out and got like the real deal lotto Uh mixer upper whatever you want to call it it made the uh athlete party the other night really fun Cool component grant giller they're asking is this line still there? Yeah, I drew some lines. So Yeah, you know common practice Whenever you're out there filming or riding out in the back country You know you want to draw a line and kind of get a visual reference for your takeoff trajectory Yeah, as soon as they step back from that lip, it's totally blind. They uh, gotta just Trust their gut and hope that that line that they drew or the the memory that they have of the takeoff Is where they're going to go and you know it the the coup are obviously opens up quite a bit after that The nose and the the west wall there, but in that first zone, it's pretty tight You know we've seen Quite a few of the athletes of the competitors landing, you know real close to the bottom of that west wall Which is a gamble because it's like that's where the good snow is but it's also your landing High speed coming 30 40 sometimes 50 feet out of the air and uh right at the bottom of the wall So a lot a lot of Strategy going into figuring out where they want to land Yeah, and it's crazy when you have a pinpoint landing like that Where you're landing so close to a rock wall or something like that and the landing is blind Because you're not seeing the landing when you're coming off of the until you're coming off of that lip there of the cornice And uh, those rocks look a lot closer than what you're probably landing Or as close as you are landing to them, but all of a sudden those come into view And uh, grant giller. Yeah, possibly look into land over there by that west wall So big shout outs to grant giller. Once again, just uh, was it two nights ago We were announcing them in a rail competition down in colorado at the do tour and any Be lined it up here For jackson as we get a look at the replay Of grand's first run. It was really cool. He actually he got to leave a few hours before me And he's backy there He got to leave a few hours before me and he was giving me a call and keeping me updated on road conditions because We left colorado in a huge snowstorm And it was slow going leaving boy once got up into wyoming. We're north of the storm and it was smooth sailing and that switch Back seven there off that final jump for grant giller so accomplished in the park But bringing those park skills out to the big mountain G gills grant giller big shout out to his girlfriend summer fenton Professional pipe rider who is out here as well. Here's grant giller dropping in Going for the big front three and yeah landing over by that west wall kind of lost them there in the snow But just a nice backside shifty Good little hip off that rock three going down a little bit But still regaining himself and coming in forward now Into the final jump with the big old freedom flip for us at the end. Oh, he's a crowd Pleaser laying it out. Would you call it the freedom flip? Yeah, just uh a good friend of mine used to throw those laid out back flips and yell freedom kind of I like it Mel Gibson style I wonder what's our tally on the back of your heart today We've got quite a few And if you count the doubles Really bumps up the the back flip tally a lot of upside downness going on today Kings and queens of corvettes here in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at the top of beautiful Jackson Hole mountain resort So looking at the replay there for grant giller and yeah Going for that front three in trying to find that good snow and that good landing over there by the west wall And just kind of got bounced off his landing there But big shout out to grant giller first time competing out here at kings and queens of corvettes We've got a shot back up there at the top. I think we've got a potentially jake jake hopfinger Somewhere on deck maybe next Jake's first run definitely set the bar high with that double back flip riding away pretty clean So jeff moran, I got to ask you 21 years of living here If anyone was going to come to visit jackson, who is one of the most legendary tour guides they could have of this mountain? well, I mean You know Everybody's got their favorite spots and their their places to go But I'd have to say that If you were going to come here and you could have your pick of the litter I mean, there's the big names like travis and gooch and those guys But someone who really really knows this place is mr. Lance pitman growing up here in jackson I mean one of the guys that you know travis attributes as one of his Big influences, but yeah lances Still still got it. He's uh, he's been a coach at the jackson old ski and snowboard club for a bunch of years now Uh, doing a little bit less of that now, but lance Lance is really really fun if you could get like maybe lance and kinger together and have them Tour year round that'd be a that'd be a fun day for sure team Well looking at the screen here. We're seeing replays from jake hopfinger's first run Again that double back flip in so nasty originally out of upstate new york I'm thinking to move out to montana See the shot at the top there. Yancy called. Well piloting the drone out here to get the great perspective from the drone footage and what do you think you think uh jake's gonna Go for a repeat on that line. You think he's going to mix it up variety the spice of lifestyle out here I don't get the sense that he's going to hold back Throwing a double back flip into corvus the first time he ever goes in I think he's going to uh Keep it on that same level. What an animal here. He comes dropping in This again stomping it the double backie in and hopfinger is up after taking a tumble Yeah, not holding back whatsoever No, they're solid solid stomp on that huge double backie There's a big left three on the crowd pleaser and it's working we can hear him right behind us Drifting that left three at the end, but hopfinger two for two with the double backie into corvus What an animal. All right, let's enjoy this replay. Wow. There's that lift that they built up I believe park in and he we're talking about building that lift to make sure they can get the double around That's a little milky up there. He didn't take too many Speed checks before going right into that top right wedge Riders, right? We are getting some wind gusts down here at the base just to keep you informed with what the weather's doing out here And next up we're going to be seeing cooper Cooper brand him so we've had about 11 Looks like we've had 11 riders take their second run so far. This is cooper will be number 12 These are all cutaways anyway, but if you want to Which if all of our athletes Decide to take a second run that'll put us about halfway through the field And for more info a little background insight into cooper.

Oh my god. Yeah That was wild Then we saw that uh butter off the lip last year with blaine galavan, but year one or year one. Yep. Yep Yeah, that's a hard thing with the butter.

Yeah, but uh, yeah, it's always fun being here I gotta ask you haunts. I love uh You're you're like getting in the zone when you're up there It looks like you're practicing some breathing kind of just getting in the state.

Like do you want more or are you content? Uh, I if it was like how it was the first run, dude, I would just laugh that thing right now It's it's really good. There's still some really sick side hits like uplookers left and stuff and The snow in there is really good like kind of like Has a good compactness to it Kind of sturdy stands you up soft. Yeah like catchy and I don't know. I think it's good All right, we've got Sam Cooch coming up next Sam Cooch who had a very impressive showing on his first go out here originally out of nelson bc As we talked about on his first run you can check him out and magic productions return to sender Hans midnight here hanging out in the booth with us What's up mom? all right, we saw Sam go absolutely nuts on his first run double cork 10 Dude that was insane.

There it is This is a fire run in the zone right now Cap of the tail there on the straight air Well great posture. What do you say about that? That's gonna be up there. That's a that's a one or two in my book History being made right in front of our eyes, dude I know it's crazy because like I was only here the first year I feel like I saw a lot of attempts of double back flips double corks, but It's it's crazy watching like some of these guys that are all getting close And stomping so check out this replay Left up 10 locks in the safety grab gets off access two times as he gets The 1080 degree of rotation around Out of boy cooch Big ol backy in there This crowd going wild down here. Are you you rocking out the music cons? Oh, yeah, I see your earbuds hanging out Where are you listening to dropping in jam out to a little bit of like Flowey French disco kind of like poppy but not like I'm not like an EDM electronic guy But sometimes I'll throw on some flea wood max Some rumors or sometimes turn it up a little bit and polo pan it out. Oh, it's about to say french disco is that Like yeah in that area something that's not crazy, but kind of just keeps it feels loose But fun So you're not here in the crowd when you're coming here into the bottom I can hear him at the bottom for sure. I always ride like only one plug just in case someone's trying to get a hold of me Is the crowd down here intensely bull getting all the athletes pumped up top like are you guys feeding off that? Dude, I feel like anytime you're at an event like this, you definitely feed off anyone's energy, you know, like the hype is Is real right now people are just juice no matter what land crash get through like As long as you're not ending up in the helicopter, dude, everyone's having a good time It looks like we got king are getting ready to drop did you get a chance to talk to the g Oh, yeah I was really stoked to see he made it back from baker because I knew that was a bit of a tight squeeze that uh Both of us played that game last year. He won. I lost didn't make it here, but uh I'm stoked to see him here again, man Kingers is a legend and a really really genuine person probably one of the nicest people I know in the snowboard game That is awesome. Yeah, it's stoked to have him out here Glad he made it back from baker in time and here we go king are strapping in at the top getting ready to rock Come on kinger You'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't like hanging around with kinger the guy is all time Yeah, he is nothing but good energy literally on and off the mountain And that's what his whole brand is all about too. He's got avalon seven and it's like his creative outlet He's got some really cool gear. I think I'm wearing one of his face masks right now And it's just everything's about positivity Yeah, and like it's sick seeing someone who's been in the game for so dang long and having that like Still holding that that attitude and having so much fun with it Something that I feel like a lot of riders and skiers in this industry kind of lose that passion It's sick to see All right, here comes kinger And over towards that west wall again a little finger gun It's like he's going for the same line He took first run off the west wall kind of drop him back into the go pack Second jump Rob Kingwell growing up the Jackson Hole. That could be the method of the day right there One of our GHA bar athletes I head into the circle turned Two for two out of love from the crowd out here for the local legend Hans, what do you got? Coming up after this you're gonna stick around Jackson for a little bit. Um, yeah, I think I'm kicking it around here for a little bit I was actually Everything about going out to toadie milking a few jumps before heading up north. I think long term Shoot up north in about a week to vc wherever the boys are at and uh They're gonna link up with the absence crew of my brother Nils Minnick real pay tontini and Nicholas Mueller and go hit some pillows and shit finish out february You should come back for kinger's uh Board test event the shape or summit you dig that That'd be sick. It'd be really fun. It's early march. Maybe march fifth around there. But yeah, it'd be sick because I think I'm going back to stow for uh Like the international ride day I don't know. I guess like they have like 12 mountains locked in for like Everyone does a group ride on like I forget how it works But I think they give you like a free pass for a free run and everyone goes up collects at the top And everyone's gonna take a run for jake on the march 14th. I think party wave party wave for jake Two mountains in japan, I think locked in oh, wow, okay Right in stow And then I forget the rest But it's pretty rad that like that many mountains around the world are that down to give out that many free passes for such a Cause yeah, and yeah, it'd be nice to go back home and see the fam be a part of that All right. All right for you. Comey getting ready to drop in For her second of two runs out here Two-time freeride world tour champion just got a second place finish Out and kicking horse the freeride world tour stopped there last week She's such a strong composed rider her skier.

We'll let you cruise and go Socialize mingle with the boys and ladies out there, but uh, yeah appreciate you and uh way to kill it out here At kings and queens and corvettes. It's fun. Just a ride guys not gonna lie That's kind of what it's all about then Good to see you back here in jackson. It's always good to be back here and yeah stock up on your oatmeal Dude, I'm gonna get some oatmeal in me later today It's the breakfast of champions sticks to the bones So yeah, ariana for comey getting ready to drop in here and we'll take a look at her first run there is uh If there is a conservative approach to this she kept it a little conservative just opt in for some straight errors in there But had a good time just flowing on down through here Yeah, it'll be interesting to see like when we talked to her, you know, she said this was Pretty much her first time into corvettes and putting a line like this together So now that she's got a better idea of what's going on once you make it over the nose Might she had a solid run there stayed on her feet the whole way But uh, I have a feeling we might see her open it up a little bit. We've got pretty good visibility up there right now. So Excited to see what we get out of ariana chakomi right now That is just always to me like this angle of the nose right now is so wild, right? I mean, it's just people standing on the edge of a cliff and we're Sending people off it and skis and snowboards. It's so cool Yeah, you got that this event even exists. It's just amazing On some borrowed outerwear there Not show up out here and here it is two time free ride world tour champion ariana chakomi Dropping in great control on her entry here in the corvettes. Yes ariana Getting some good air there playing it nice and smooth here. Love the control Similar line to what she took last time but turning it up a bit for sure Yeah Boosting the last one Nice and spread eagle style there and ariana chakomi have two great runs here in corvettes And again, you know she loves surfing and I think that really shows through uh, They were riding out there just nice and flowy fun approach here for mari Yeah, it's cool to see how everyone reads the mountain there are a lot of options out there and Everybody's got their own personal individual approach to it. I am impressed with the I'm impressed with the athletes who who Go that to that hard right zone. There's some Still some good snow over there, but you really got to be thinking about the fact that It's a hard right turn I mean it'd be easy to get kind of drawn down into the gut of the kular and there's some hits right in front of you So it's cool to see the uh The mentality of some of our athletes and Really putting their strategy together All right. Well, once again third member of our team She has been battling it out in the elements hanging out at the top and tina dixon What do you got going on up there right now? Oh battling the elements. It's great up here You know, it's interesting a lot of these athletes took their time debating whether or not to take that second run They peeked over the nose Checked out the landings. One of those was ashley baffcock. Remember she hit that west wall and she was joking around She's like, you know, I'm on the ski patrol. I have to work tomorrow I got to be really careful So she said if she is going to go again, she'll probably most likely take that go path But if you look behind me, it's crazy dc. There's so many Launch pads off of the nose and to see that up here heading into corbets. It's pretty impressive stuff Impressive indeed and impressive the job that you've been doing up there tina. Thank you so much for keeping us informed Such valuable insight from the top and again just hats off to tinnits He's been hanging out there holding it down all morning. I love the insight. We're getting from her up there Next up We got mikey maron getting ready to drop he had to drop last on the first run order due to the lottery pick that He had received but now getting a drop kind of in the middle of the pack Jackson Hole local local now from casper wyome and originally moved here when he was 14 though Got a third place in 2018 And last year just a really good impressive show in here as well Yeah, mikey just all around super solid rider Another one of the one of our closet ninjas here in jackson There's a lot of them and it's good to see mikey kind of getting some spotlight put on him here at kings and queens of corbets This is definitely his type of event and as we've seen over the last couple years He fits right in with the rest of this field Yeah, and he's got great style great control And really just aesthetically pleasing watching This guy interpret the mountain the way he does mikey maron. You're riding for never summer The nice shot of the flyby from the bird up there So he's like one of them dropping into something and uh get a bird that flies by it was considered a good omen Yeah It's kind of like surfing with dolphins. Absolutely mikey's got a really Kind of calm cool demeanor when it comes to shredding like he approaches it Really even keeled and then Sense it Like we saw in the previous run where he did the double backflip with the tucney And will we see that again? We'll find out here in just a second mikey maron dropping in mikey maron An absolute animal going for it again Redemption another kind of wildcat there at the end. Yeah, he's gonna say almost like a backside rodeo setting backflip there but mikey maron You're an animal Hit that was so close to that double backie He put it down you could tell he was fighting so so hard to stay on his feet It's a little bit of that chunder up high in the uh kooar right now kind of bobble them around But what a crowd-pleaser. There it is the double backflip again Getting the tucney in Brent giller coming in to check out our monitor For the replay here And here it is again the double backflip with the tucney Halldor Halgeson would be definitely proud of that one if he's watching And just a couple few feet from that west wall It's so sick and last year like I said he drifted that back three close to the wall and he was like, yeah, let's try to touch it What an animal Slings pizza down in town in the off time Thank you mikey We've got stinius up next. Yeah the norwegian. Yep Our only norwegian out here in the mix Something in the fjords over there A lot of talent that comes out of norway making it that international field. Yeah. Yeah So stinius, we'll see how he fares here on his second of two goes stinius will be our uh 19th Athlete here and for second runs so quite a few And getting word that stinius scots gift will be our last rider of the day So this 22 year old norwegian will be our last athlete to drop and Again riders obviously can elect to not take their second of two runs And conditions aren't deteriorating just a little bit out here as the wind has picked up in the visibility a little trickier It gotta just again hats off to all these athletes for doing what they do out here And just we just were wowed by mikey maron there unbelievable I mean yeah real short list of people in the world who've Double flipped of any type into corvettes. It's like stinius is Hiking back up. He was just checking out the lip again our last rider of the day 19 of our 24 riders taken the option to have a second run Well for more on stinius, let's hear from stinius himself This competition is like a legendary competition Uh It's always been a dream to compete in it. I think it's going to be a lot of crazy thing happening in the corvettes this year We saw travis rice and it's huge last year. So It's probably going to be some sick things this year's too. Uh, I'm going to do my best to make a show And hopefully it's going to be a good one Jeff maron you ever try speaking any norwegian if you ever had any friends try to help you with your norwegian I can honestly say I've never tried I just love the way they accent everything like we would say his name stinius scott skiff But uh over there they'd give him a lot more access like stinius scott skiff Yeah, and his uh first little clip there that we saw of him on his first run He he pronounces it a little bit differently than we do sounds cooler You know as we're winding down here with our uh final rider. I'm sure like just the level of excitement is through the roof Down here at the bottom and it's got to feel so good for all of our athletes to be like, all right, we did it It worked We had fun high fives hugs and now they've got another Whoa, it's only tuesday you've got four more days until the awards party and they just get to hang out in jackson Go shred some pow and like really celebrate this amazing event. It's not just this one day It's like an entire week's celebration of skiing and snowboarding here in jackson Yeah, i'm really looking forward to the apre event down at the base of the mountain here at the continuum hotel here this afternoon With the signature king king zing queens beer and just catching up with all these athletes. Uh, it's gonna be a good time down there It's gonna be uh the vibe will be live You can just kind of hear in the background here probably but just the buzz down here is uh all the athletes are hanging out mingling about Just stoked to believe to have thrown down sinia scott's gift our final athlete drop it in Big left three with the mute grab Super slow with the rotation there into the backflip Getting back a little bit but holding on to it In the norwegian there With a flat three Into our final jump And a nice big left seven to wrap it up so There you have the norwegian sinia scott's gift treating it like a slope style run out here He's gotta be pumped on that That Quick little bobble a little little front flip there But like back on his feet immediately and didn't even miss a beat went right back into another trick And I just love again the replay it looks like it's almost sped up because when we're watching it live time That left three mute just seems so slow. It's in slow motion. Just easy letting that one hang out there It's got a lot of time in the air Loop style setting with the sideways Flip more than the flat three if that is indeed our final athlete I'm blown away. That's what we missed out here. We did it We did it high five.

It's amazing It's so I mean it's so cool to be able to just like come out your back to your front door and This is uh, what's going on on our like home mountain, you know I mean I didn't grow up in jackson and I kind of ended up here accidentally But yeah, I've been here for quite a while and it's just so Rad to see that kind of support for the skiing snowboard industry Like who would have ever thought that we would see something like this go down Not not just once but three years in a row. This is now the annual event Right. I mean, I don't think we're stopping now. So yeah, uh proud to be a jackson resident and to be a part of the whole event It's very cool Well, that was absolutely amazing and we saw a lot of crazy action go down 24 athletes in that first run So that was 24 amazing runs and then the second run. We didn't see everyone take all their runs But still some crazy stuff that went down But think about what your favorite was and tina dixon up at the top You got to get a great perspective from up there What was your favorite or some of the highlights for you from today? Well, there's a lot of highlights, especially standing up here because those guys were so close to you as they Launched off this nose, but I have to say jake hopfinger with that double backflip I mean, he just threw that into corpon school are Landed it just it just overall so so impressive in that style too. I also got to give it up to carl I'd say he spent the most time working on his run in Seems really focused today and the fact that he did a 1080 and went for that 1080 twice And then on the first run the fact that he did the 1080 Overrotated and then kept on with his run and hit that next feature switch Pretty impressive stuff and then cam fits patrick the local He did a handstand dropping into corpus kular at least from Up here in our point of view. So some really impressive stuff This definitely took the event to another level and I was just truly honored to be up here and be able to witness it in person dc Right on. Well, thank you so much tina dixon and way to be a trooper up there at the top of corpons here You're an animal and uh getting that hot tub as soon as you get down to the bottom and warm up All right. Well, what about you jeff moran? Go ahead. You have so many favorites like tina was just talking about cam's handstand I mean that's not easy and it was so like fun and playful and such a cool way to kick off his second run But you know, I gotta say I was really impressed with part parking costains Run his double back flip was so pumped and I feel like part of it was just the energy that he brought down here afterwards But like in the way he talked about getting stoked on his buddy jake doing a double back flip And then he was like i'm going for it too and they built their whole Takeoff. So yeah, i'm gonna say like i'm gonna i'm gonna step over into the ski world I'm traditionally a snowboarder, but for today. I really am into uh parking costains run Right on yeah, well, um some of my highlights It's really hard to pick just like one in particular favorite But i'm gonna go ahead and start off with veronica paulson big shout out to her with that huge back flip in On her first run that was such an exciting way.
