The Natural Selection tour

At the beginning of February, Travis Rice, as you know by now, launched his new snowboard tour 'Natural Selection,' which proved to live up to every little bit of expectation with ease. The Natural Selection Tour gave the viewers angles that have never ever been provided to the audience, hence, inflicting a feeling to viewers that were nothing else but jaw-dropping. As the race drones follow Travis Rice, Anna Gasser, Mark Mcmorris, and all the other legendary riders through tight trees, big drops, and massive booters, there was little to no other way to react than whispering for oneself something in style with 'what in the actual flipflop am I watching right now? "
Booters were hit, money was made.

The good old Freeride World Tour has returned with every bit of power and courage that we're used to - and more. With challenging conditions, the boys and girls showed that they are ready to send, regardless.

For the swedes part, it has been a bag of mixed Kristofer Turdell has managed to find his way back to the podium as he landed second place during the second competition in Andorra, and Reine Barkered followed him up, as he landed a third place.

Cody Bramwell, the Swedish Britt (he is raised in Åre), is doing best of the Swedes, with first place in the first competition after superb snowboarding. The Hungry Swede David Deliv, or should we call him hellman, landed the biggest backflip of the whole competition so far but has yet to make it down to the finish line without crashing. His runs are a must-watch, however.

#Regnergotrobbed - a new hashtag? The Swedish wild ginger went on a roll during the second competition as he threw a frontflip straight out the start gate and jibbed his way down the face in classic carl-fashion. Surprisingly low scores for the Östersund-born style master kept him away from the podium, but his skiing displays that he has what it takes to make it up there.
With two competitions in the bag, Kristofer has managed to land the best result in an individual competition on the skiing side, while Reine is holding the best overall ranking.

If you're tired of long runs, calculated face-checking, and the major overload of flowy pow-booters that the NS tour was all about, then we have just the thing for you.

Remember that Couloir in North America that people have started to throw all kinds of doubles in? Well, the annual competition from there went off a few days ago, and it was every bit as sendy as before - perhaps, even more, this year. To cut it short: Watching snowboarders do 10-meter drops straight into landing on the rock-wall to ride it out the last five meters out to the snow, doesn't that sound like a competition you'd like to watch? And yes, you can. Right here.
There are still heaps more events to be held before we store away our skis and boards. Make sure you don't miss them by subscribing to our channel below.
PRO TIP: bookmark this page, it will be updated as the year rolls on.
