Here we go folks, it’s almost time to call in sick to work, grab a case of your beverage of choice and tune into the worlds favourite snowboard competition – The Natural Selection Tour.
To kick things off, check out the new NST Super Sessions and RND recap on the livestream below. The new Super Sessions format see’s 3 groups of 5 riders face off in different locations around the globe, with 2 riders from each group earning themselves a spot to the main event this week.
NST Super Session — Powder Mountain, Utah
Facing off in 1000 acres of raw terrain in Powder Mountains “Don’t Mention It” zone, Blake Paul, Brock Crouch, Brin Alexander, Garrett Warnick & Yuki Kadono (Wildcard) will all be putting down their best lines for their chance to compete on the big stage in Revelstoke.
NST Super Session — Myōkō, Japan
With one of the deepest snowpacks on earth, Myōkō’s rolling volcanic terrain creates a fast, fluid canvas for progressive freestyle expression. Mateo Massitti, Mason Lemery, Miles Fallon, Takeru Otsuka & Terje Håkonsen (Wildcard) will all be strapping on their snorkels and poppin pillows to compete for a spot at the main event.
