Benny Milam: Made in the Midwest

[@herz2155]

Ben gave me a free lesson for a day years ago. He was super chill and helpful, and he is the kindest and most authentic dude that also happens to kick ass at his sport! These videos give him much needed recognition and documents his superb creativity! Those hay bales and stuff may be for show but the stuff this guy and his crew come up with are like what we had in the early golden age of snowboarding the pure free spirited adventure stuff that seems to be snowboarding ethos. Mad respect for this kid!

[@MichaelAltobelli]

Always been a fan of Benny Milam’s riding! Remember noticing him as a young lad. Benny if you are reading this, keep the ideas and projects going man! Great style and enjoyable to watch. The youth will follow!

[@redbullgaming]

ok slick now we want a snowboard too!

[@snowyroo6907]

may i recommend shredders?

[@1998apj]

One of the most humble dudes. Stoked to watch you keep pushing the bar brotha!

[@arendmelby5106]

Makes sense being from Chisago lakes, MN. 15 minutes or so from both Wild and Troll. So many laps on the ropes over the years. Also love the interviews with the Joker, so legit

[@jakeoswald8017]

Garrett is the goat

[@justinburgan]

Might be one of my favorite Red Bull video parts!

[@Maxhavlish1]

its truly incredible seeing the talents you, alex and josh produce. keep killin it.

[@coldseamonster]

Every second of this was amazingness.

[@xPulse582]

Damn bro that rope set up is the dream. I grew up in so cal and it was 100% true what she was saying...you could wait an hour for your next run. And if you wanted to chill in the park you unstrapped and walked to the top. I probably would be decent on rails if i had access to that rope park. Fun to see

[@zacreynolds2524]

this man is just a vibe

[@NoelBuller]

When Jesse Augustinus (arguably one of the steeziest rail technicians of our generation) calls you one of the best riders in the world, you know you're doing something right.

[@teacheristalking7690]

Would really love to see a similar movie about Denis Bonus Leontyev. The dude is a wizard, his story is fascinating, his riding style is mind-blowing, known in the states and around the world. This would make a really good movie

[@NoelBuller]

Agreed! Long live Powder Voin!

[@Mountain.g.o.a.t]

i like seeing places that iv been on here and a shout out to the midwest

[@TheBlackZionist]

#BennyTheRealButcher 😡 damn it #RedBull, you making Monster Energy look bad... 🥺

[@RedBullSnow]

👀😎

[@styleup_]

This kid is a legend - reminds me of Mark McMorris a little bit

[@JasonChannelOne]

What chill people

[@jacobderoche2152]

Keep sending it man!

[@mattsetnan9782]

Park Rat!!! Very cool and that midwest mentality is felt, although I do prefer big mountain, ride on is new for me I like the term. When you hit the side of the rail with air that was mad. Street is shreddin', keep it up.

[@toxicoft]

@redbullsnow please bring rope parks to Europe, we need that too🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jamesnickelby7479]

Crushing it bro. U did have a huge head as a kid. 😄

[@TylerF891]

Lets go!

[@RedBullSnow]

let'ssssss goooo

[@ThatGuy-oc4mv]

Live out in CO now, originally from the Midwest…. Damn I miss tow ropes

[@MarioNullDefect]

Need a tow rope park somewhere along the foothills for folks who don't have time to make it to the mountains.

[@johnnyliu7105]

dude I want a tow rope park near me, wtf.. Unless I hike the park sections in my mountain, I am just getting 10-15 runs

[@irfansarfrazconstruction7167]

Good jobs 👍

[@albani4871]

Dope !

[@michaelschnoor7594]

How are the crappies biting in Chisago Benny?

[@ArturDeLux]

Denis “Bonus” его разложит на джибинге 👌🏻

[@NickSchoess]

lmao dude legit could be a pro skater or snowboarder. jumps, rails, pow, street, park, kid does it all

[@Shannendetro]

Street version of Shaun white?

[@andrewlikesshinythings6388]

@@Shannendetro he’s better than Shaun white

[@Shannendetro]

@ɪ ᴡᴀɴɴᴀ ʀɪᴅᴇ ᴅᴀ ᴘᴏɴʏ That’s definitely debatable

[@NickSchoess]

@@Shannendetro anything is debatable but there's always a loser in any debate

[@Shannendetro]

@Schoess not always, unless you are shallow minded. ie pineapple on pizza. If you prefer street he probably would agree that Benny is better than Shaun

Bad time stamp I guess, there's another clip shortly after

[@marcusfilly509]

Great!!!

[@ragemachine420]

My parents live right next to wild mountain lol they would get calls to come pick up our dog from up on the hill all the time lol

[@imsowetrightnow]

Where did his top lip go?

[@chrisvr6]

Where is this park?

[@jamesnickelby7479]

Wild mountain - taylors falls area

[@MTB_Jimbo]

why doesn't he wear a helmet?

[@Nikolebichon]

It’s dumbest part of “core snowboarding” they’re ruthless about helmets and if you bring one on a trip, someone will likely piss inside it “as a prank”. These pros aren’t as nice or cool as they pretend to be. They’re lots of selfish drug addicted assholes actually.

[@MTB_Jimbo]

@@Nikolebichon yeAH OK

[@trogjoeg]

@@Nikolebichon Benny is a good friend of mine and he is definitely no drug addict. Lol

[@NoelBuller]

He reached his final Pokémon evolution stage, the helmet is now built into his skull and augmented by a thick beanie.

[@MTB_Jimbo]

@@trogjoeg good to hear!

[@jaspermorse2307]

this was either very scripted or he was so high the whole vid

[@trogjoeg]

Benny is a good friend of mine and he is just that chill naturally.

[@dankochanek8056]

This kid is rad. But did he ever drink that Redbull he was holding?
