X Games Aspen Research Update for January 26, 2021 Say What? (All quotes provided directly to X Games researchers unless otherwise noted.) Aspen local Alex Ferreira, the two-time defending Ski SuperPipe champ, on his focus at X Games: “I do tend to have my best results in Aspen. That’s been my career. I don’t typically do well at the World Cups. I do well at X Games and the bigger events because I just think there’s more on the line. It’s more intense. It matters so much more. X Games is truly our Super Bowl of skiing. It’s every little kid’s dream when they’re 10 years old to win X Games. It’s the big Kahuna.” Youth at X Games Aspen 2021 As of January 26, 16 teenagers are scheduled to compete at X Games Aspen 2021. Thirty of the 78 athletes currently on the X Games roster are 21 and under. • Aspen 2021: the 16 teens make up 20 percent of the field. • The 30 athletes age 21 and under comprise 38% of the field. • Fun Fact: 24 athletes at XG Aspen 2021 were born after Shaun White made his X Games rookie appearance at Mount Snow 2000. That’s 31%. White is now the oldest athlete scheduled to compete at Aspen 2021 (34 yrs. 4 mos.).

She’s one behind both of them in gold medals. Sildaru is scheduled to compete in all three women’s Ski disciplines.

This Stanford-bound (1580 SAT!), Mandarin-speaking fashion model from San Francisco claims skiing was “just a hobby” until two years ago. She now has three World Cup wins and plans to defer Stanford until after the 2022 Beijing Olympics. She’ll represent China at X Games Aspen (her mother is Chinese). Gu is the only rookie in a Ski discipline at X Games Aspen 2021, but she’s considered a medal contender. She recently learned two forward doubles that will set her apart on the slope course: rightside double 1260 Weddle grab (formally known as mute grab) and left double 1080 Japan grab. SNOWBOARD (SBD) Sonny Alba, 14: Women’s SuperPipe. Eighth grader Sonora “Sonny” Alba is the overall youngest competitor at X Games Aspen 2021. Her first pro contest was less than a year ago at the Dew Tour, where she finished 7th in the modified superpipe competition. In March 2020 she won the Burton U.S. Open Junior Jam superpipe final. Watch for old-school flair that belies her young age: she loves alley-oop airs, throws handplants in competition superpipe runs and says Danny Davis is her snowboarding style icon. A serious gamer (Call of Duty and Fortnite, and she has played Rocket League), she is one of four female members of the U.S. Snowboard Pro Halfpipe Team.

But his biggest triumph has been beating cancer. Parrot finished his chemotherapy treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma in June 2019. The French-Canadian says it’s difficult for him to talk about his competition accomplishments since then without getting emotional: • Big Air gold at XG Norway 2019 in August, just two months after his oncologist’s all- clear. “A career highlight contest for me, the one I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” • Big Air gold at XG Aspen 2020 in January, a triumphant return after missing the contest in 2019 -- his favorite contest every year -- for his first of 12 rounds of chemo. • Big Air silver and Slopestyle gold at XG Norway 2020 in February, his first X Games Slopestyle win since 2014. Looking back on it all -- cancer, chemo, being broken down, building himself back up, 4 X Games medals post-chemo -- Max says he’s been surprised to feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the entire experience. “Cancer is something I cannot change in my life path,” he says. “Before having it, I would have never said, ‘Please, God, give me lymphoma so I can be grateful afterwards.’ But I realize that I’ve actually learned a lot from it, and a lot about myself. “It gave me a lot of time to think about my career, myself, my future, my past, everything,” Parrot continues. “It gave me the power to feel more in the present moment. As nightmarish as it’s all been, I’ve been able to learn and grow from this. I’m 100 percent back, health-wise. I’ve been doing my lymphoma follow-ups and everything is all good: no cancer has come back, which is awesome. Then, to have a dream comeback at X Games? It was definitely one of the greatest years for me.” Parrot leads his lifelong rival Mark McMorris in Big Air medals despite taking silver to McMorris at Norway 2020. But Max values the competition his fellow Canadian brings. “Mark normally does better in Slopestyle, I do better in Big Air. Norway (2020) went the opposite way. It’s a good, friendly rivalry that adds a little spice to every contest and keeps pressure on both of us.” All-Time X Games Snowboard Big Air Medals Total Breakdown Max Parrot* 10 6 gold, 4 silver Mark McMorris 9 4 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze Yuki Kadono* 6 1 gold, 1 silver, 4 bronze Anna Gasser* 5 3 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze Torstein Horgmo 5 3 gold, 2 silver Barrett Christy 5 3 gold, 2 silver Kevin Jones 5 1 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronze *Competing in Big Air at X Games Aspen 2021 • DOB: 6/6/1994. Age: 26. • 13 medals (8 gold, 5 silver) from 13 X Games appearances: 6 gold, 4 silver in Big Air (the most gold and most medals in the discipline); 2 gold, 1 silver in Slopestyle. • Hasn’t missed the XG Aspen Big Air podium in 6 starts (5 gold, 1 silver). Has missed just one XG Big Air podium: Norway 2018 (5th). • Though we focus on his Big Air prowess, Slopestyle gold at XG Norway 2020 was no fluke: Max took Slopestyle silver as a rookie at XG Aspen 2013 and won gold in both Slopestyle and Big Air at XG Aspen 2014.

    SIA in Vegas The Canadian Experience Ode to Joey Steez Magazine - April 09 Shaun Murphy free Here we are, at the end of our beloved season, snow melting rapidly from the sides of our favorite mountain resorts, and bikes and skateboards replacing our shred sticks one at a time. As sad as it might seem, this is actually quite a happy time. For us a Steez, it means a small window of breathing time, and then we’re right back at it again. The end marks a new beginning though, and it’s probably pretty obvious what changes we’ve made and plan on making from here on out. You’re holding a landmark issue, full of new and awesome features. Not only is this one of the biggest is- sues we’ve ever produced, it also marks the first full color issue of Steez Magazine. Going forward, Steez will continue to produce high-quality color issues with better photography, illustration, writing and design. This issue is just a small taste of what you’ll be seeing from us throughout the entire 09-10 winter season, and of course, it’s all free. So yes, there’s definitely plenty of good things to look forward to next season, even before the snow starts flying again. Enclosed you’ll find a recap of events from the second half of the East Coast season, including competitions from the grass roots level, all the way up to the Red Bull Snowscrapers and the U.S. Open.

    The Crash Reel Discussion Guide

    www.influencefilmclub.com The Crash Reel Discussion Guide Director: Lucy Walker Year: 2013 Time: 108 min You might know this director from: Devil’s Playground (2002) Blindsight (2006) Countdown to Zero (2010) Waste Land (2010) The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom (2011) FILM SUMMARY THE CRASH REEL tracks the exhilarating and inspiring journey of U.S. champion snowboarder Kevin Pearce, whose fast-hurtling career is halted by a near fatal crash that leaves him with a traumatic brain injury. With the help of loving family and friends, he slowly recovers, determined to return to competitive snowboarding. However, Kevin’s doctors warn him that even a small blow to the head could kill him. His family tries to convince him that the danger is too great, but for Kevin Pearce, snowboarding is more than just a passion and profession—it’s his identity. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker seamlessly weaves together newly-shot footage of candid interviews and intimate verité scenes with archival footage from over 230 sources. Spanning 20 years, the film includes breathtaking action shots and personal videos from family and friends. The result is a powerful story that explores obsessive passion, the bonds of family, friendship and rivalry among athletes, and a culture of extreme sports that pushes its stars to take dangerous risks. THE CRASH REEL follows Kevin as he goes beyond physical recovery to true healing. After accepting his situation, he uses his experiences to help and inspire others. What emerges is a portrait of an unforgettable family and the powerful love that binds them together as Kevin gains the strength to set a new course for himself, one that continues to unfold long after the film ends.

    I Grandi Del Big Air Tornano a Modena Scarica Il Documento

    I grandi del Big Air tornano a Modena Skipass ospita per il secondo anno la FIS Freeski & Snowboard Big Air World Cup. Tantissimi i campioni che parteciperanno, tra questi molti gli atleti che tornano a Modena dopo l’esperienza del 2018. Le finali sono previste per sabato 2 e domenica 3 novembre. Modena, 8 ottobre 2019 FIS Freeski e FIS Snowboard si stanno preparando per le prime gare nell’emisfero settentrionale della World Cup 2019/20 e gli spettacoli del Big Air sono pronti a spiccare il volo ancora una volta il 2 e 3 novembre sulla città di Modena, durante la 26esima edizione di Skipass, il Salone del Turismo e degli Sport Invernali. L’anno scorso sia il FIS Freeski che il FIS Snowboard hanno avuto luogo a Modena per la prima volta, in occasione del 25° anniversario di Skipass. La manifestazione, che si è affermata come la più importante del settore neve in Italia, ha ospitato una straordinaria reunion dei migliori atleti di freeski e snowboard da tutto il mondo che hanno tenuto il pubblico senza fiato sulla gigantesca rampa di Modena. Per questa stagione le qualifiche e le finali della gara di Snowboard sono programmate per sabato 2 novembre, mentre la gara di Freeski è prevista per domenica 3 novembre. Entrambe le gare prevedono le qualifiche al mattino seguite dalle finali serali sotto i riflettori di ModenaFiere. Stando agli elenchi preliminari degli iscritti a entrambe le competizioni, in cui compaiono i nomi più illustri degli sport invernali, ci si aspetta che le gare di questo novembre saranno ancora più spettacolari di quelle viste nel 2018/19.
