Has there ever been a snowboard film made which didn’t include a kicker? Even big mountain Jeremy Jones’ new movie, Deeper, which is all about accessing powder lines on foot, sees Travis Rice build a big old crevasse gap in Alaska. Kickers mean airtime. Kickers mean tricks.

Kickers are the snowboard film equivalent of a script. Plainly put: essential. And oh how they have grown – from the first modest efforts of movies like The Garden to the Hemsedal super booter of Vivid fame to Mad’s record breaking cheese wedge in Paradox (a jump so insane and arguably pointless that it inspired a whole movement towards more progressive step-over park jumps and pat-down natural take-offs).

Truth be told there are far too many famous jumps to list here, so it’s just as well we wrote an entire story on it, 14 Kickers which Changed History.
