 You can't really put this event in a box as far as slope style as far as rails as far as half pipe You've got to be good at everything in order to do well in this event Which a lot of guys these days are specifically good in one event And this kind of shows who the best all-around snowboarder is on every single type of terrain You just got salted, right? So you keep yourself to the right or straight. Okay poke around Try not to slash it up too much yet. Okay, we want some of that going down later. Okay now it's time to just check out find your line See what's out there three days of riding we got a field of 16 men and Five women but it's being judged every day as these guys and gals are just lapping this ridiculous super long course These are the kids who are like pushing it on this side of things Like in the park in the slope style contest in the half pipe contest like taking it to the next level Trying to figure everything out remember where everything is it looks amazing dare I say maybe better than the first year It's a long one. So getting the top to bottom will be pretty impressive. That's for sure Hanky's up look watch this bottom jump. He's coming in regular Butter to switch back nine. Oh no switch back ten for Jeff Go on dude The three-day session leading up to finals gives them so much practice time on this course The only difference is with recharged practice actually does count right now if I'm looking at who's been absolutely beating this course down We're going McMough. He's definitely got a bit of a mullet. I've noticed which for me personally is kind of a Value, you know, Hanky's has been just on a tear Yep, Winkleman is just swaggy beef on about every feature and he's destroying the steel women Jamie here. She comes Yeah, Jamie She's gonna be a problem first day up here. It's classic Cali weather sunny and the park looks awesome We're gonna give Dusty and Hendrick send the sleep at the wheel Award because he literally looks like he took a tranquilizer dart to the neck Oh Go Zeb seven my boy Zeb is pure entertainment value I would say no regard for safety You just throw him up in the air upside down and he lands on his feet It's just pure excitement even when he falls. He does a trick like oh my god. I Would pay so much money to be able to do a frontside area like that Danny Davis has the papers on the half pipe section kind of Danny's playground of punishment work on it these days Haley and Nora have been slaughtering that big job Small sunglasses big energy award goes to Ryboop It's not your traditional slope style course because it offers such a variety of features We usually only do like 45 second long runs and this one's almost like two minutes long depending on how fast you're riding it This could truly be a completely new discipline of snowboarding You know, it's really kind of keeping Ben's vision of combining slope style pipe and really, you know downhill mountain biking and all-around snowboarding into one event, you know being year-two Obviously, we don't have the snow we had in the first year But we were able to move over here to South Park and just given the resources and the commitment that Mammoth has to Snowboarding and to an event like this. We're really able to get creative and produce something. I think it's very unique It's really sick too because like I grew up riding this run and then to see it transformed like this is super rad It was an 18-day build. We spent honestly about 13 to 14 days of that build just farming the snow You know in a typical year there would have been an 8 to 10 foot base of snow all around this area And we wouldn't have had to go very far for the snow In a year like this We actually had to go all the way out to the bottom of the avi shoots behind me on Lincoln Just had to do a ton of snow farming because the base was only around three to six feet everybody out here is a little maybe a little more competitive mindset, but all the homies out here just having a good time Just kind of going into it as trying to get a dope clip This really kind of determines Who's the best overall because you have a little bit everything you got some some technical rails You got some transition you got some solid jumps. So really if you're lacking in one department, you're not going to make the final Who can just beat down every single type of terrain and there's a couple standouts. It's it's super impressive watching these guys ride Usually a slope style course is about six features. We're looking at like 10 to 15 different features through this whole course so the boys are gonna be sore, but we're gonna be giving it all we got The most extraordinary thing about this course is just how long it is. It's almost a mile long I can't think of any competitive snowboard event where it's had a mile long run before And you get to the bottom and everybody said you just ran an 800 meter dash or something To be able to do a full pull on everything without falling will be impressive. It's a lot of features Just do a top-to-bottom laced Flowing like the salmon of the Capistrana if you will kids a problem. That's very close to accurate I just try to fish my way through the course, you know Okay, so we're gonna whittle it down to initially it was six men three gals We made the call to go eight because it was just too hard to cut it down to six and Wish we could go ten because it was really hard to cut it down to eight Everyone crushed it we got about An hour and five minutes until the judges kind of head down to that table and we deliberate and we come up with our Eight men and three women. So it's about to get pretty interesting here. I think
