Kazu Kokubo – Second Place

Get ready to watch BC, Alaska and of course Japan get well and truly beasted by of of our favourite ever riders. Kazu Kokubo‘s part is taken mostly from footage used in TWS‘s Origins movie, but we could watch this kind of riding all day – we’re like rats in a lab pressing a play button to get that next grain of coke, though in this case it’s miles and miles of pristine powder with a crazed buddle of dreadlocks blasting through that we’re devouring.

The best bit? We’d have to say it’s that mid-spine line butter that just pops out of nowhere!

Mikkel Bang

Only thirty seconds in and Mikkel Bang already has a contender for one of the best backside rodeos ever, and for once we’re actually looking forward to the behind the scenes voting episode due out soon – he must tower over the other riders like some kind of Norsegod of snowboarding. Every line he takes looks like it ends at the gates of Valhalla, and each landing is more casual than the last.

Jeremy Jones

The one rider who can fill a 90 second part with talk and the other 30 seconds with the kind of heavy breathing that wouldn’t sound out place down a 1970s housewife’s bakelite phone, but that aside of course Jeremy Jones takes the concept of backcountry riding to a whole new level with one insane line down an Alaskan face, twelve days in the making. Beast.
