Daughter of Korean Immigrants Lands Front 1260!

Ain't nothing delicate or fragile about the outrageous and persistent Chloe Kim.

The Olympic gold medallist, Chloe Kim, who just turned eighteen, is a first-generation Americano, the kid of Korean immigrants.

Chloe is also the first woman to nail a front 1260, three-and-a-half spins if your nervous system collapses at numbers etc. At spring camp at Mammoth in May, Chloe says she ate up three days practising the trick and “seven to ten” tries before she rode out of one.

Chloe says she ain’t one for air bags. All tricks on the snow. Ride out or die, so to speak.

Watch!

Hacked: Thanks a lot Burton Russia!

We've been down! But we're back! Or at least back-ish!

Your fifth favorite snowboard enthusiast website has been down for days due to some troubled backend issues most likely being ok’d by the Kremlin/Burlington.

And thanks to that nefariousness this is what you missed!

By the wonderful Muzzey.

Longtime Jackson scene-builder Jeff Moran is hosting an event with the Jackson Hole Ski & Snowboard Club tomorrow night that will bring out a heavy roster of local luminaries to talk about all things snowboarding; Travis Rice, Bryan Iguchi, Cam FitzPatrick, Blake Paul, Hana Beaman, Willie McMillon, Rob Kingwill, Mark Carter, Mikey Franco, Lance Pitman, Jack Hessler, Alex Yoder and Halina Boyd will be on stage, talking story, and fielding questions from the audience.

If you’re in town and want to hear firsthand from some of snowboarding’s most relevant and respected voices, head over to the Pink Garter Theater.

Son of a bitch.

Merry Christmas from us to you!

Blessings on all!

Oh please forgive the lack of content here this week… we are still, officially, in a soft launch period but are almost ready to really fly! In the meantime, very Merry Christmas to all and may the Snow Miser visit you soon!

Watch: The most creative end ever!

Sami Luhtanen takes his skillz to the water park!

I was scrolling through my Instagram feed just yesterday, killing time, creeping, when I stumbled upon Halldor Helgason’s post which read:

Faaawk Mr @dr.luti Just Dropped One Of the Heaviest Street Parts Of The Year 👊🏼👑🍻🌶(Link In My Bio)

And fist bump, crown, beer pepper? Of course I had to click!

And Sami Luhtanen did not disappoint! Oh I can’t post the video here because it seems exclusive to TransWorld but it is so worth going right here to watch.

But I must spoil the ender for you. Young Sami takes his skillz to a water park and shoots down some slides!

Does it look fun?

No!

Does it look deadly?

Yes!

Watch today!

Great moments in extreme sport!

A drone powerful enough to lift a human into flight! Reindeer! Finland! Boarding! Not the really good Eero Ettala or Niemela kind, but … A beardless and homely fake Santa! That same beardless imposter grabbing not just Tindy but Tailfish, too! Mitta Vittu!

stupidly awesome yet cringe-inducing! Hella Schlocky! And the over 4-minute duration!

Internet Insanity! So much epic! But …. Hello? It’s an ad from Samsung?! Samsung! Viral AF! Xmas AF! AF AF!

Right?
