Bronco Natural Selection 2021 REPLAY: Baldface Valhalla Showcase

An all-Canadian cast of backcountry chargers descended the feature-packed terrain of Baldface Valhalla earlier this month, with the goal of capturing the best single top-to-bottom line and complimentary video part. These two components - weighted 70/30 - were ranked according to risk, flow, creativity, and control, and winners secured a ticket to Tordrillo Mountain Lodge.
With the likes of Craig McMorris, Marie-France Roy, Chris Rasman, and Robyn Van Gyn in the mix, the competition was stiff and the stakes amounted to a chance at 2021 Natural Selection glory. Here’s what went down.

Growing up in B.C. and being a part of the snowboarding community for 27 years now I can say I've never been so proud and greatful watching a contest. This natural selection tour is the most effective COMUNICATION of what snowboarding is. It highlights the relationship we have with the mountains and the relationship the mountains have with earth. These are the most beautiful expressions a rider can convey and how they ride shows thier commitment and ability to flow in the world of backcountry.

Best contest ever, the whole time it felt like it was a chill snowboard video

[@butchcassidy6383]

When does the talking stop and the riding start?

[@drifterdogs]

how does a $300 cooler reduce waste?

[@LOVEisTHEultimateLAW]

its all hype

[@hislopandy79]

Thank you Travis and crew!!!! Well done! Always inspiring...

[@rickmorty8697]

Best wintersport contest ever. The future looks epicly for these sports we love.. watched it live having no idea the treat I was in for. Im a BC born PC raised skier who grew up close life-style/industry and I am a huge fan! Thats a big win for the predictable side of KZbins algorithm:)

[@rickmorty8697]

THANK YOU for saving lives with your content! 🙏

[@freeride11000]

Curious if there was any consideration or effort to offset the carbon footprint of this event? Love the content but would like to see more transparency or PSA's like the avy risk intro, but for what people can do to make sure we all have POW in the future. Tks

[@BrianMortenson]

Amazing riding. Waayyyy too many ads.

[@Quentwo]

The drone shot @ 50:28 is beautiful

[@benoitarseneau1428]

Why didn't you play all three runs from every rider. I understand you want sensational images but showcasing the struggle outside of close calls would REALLY SHOW what backcountry snowboarding is about. Rasman killed it. I knew he won from his only run played.

[@SuperJimLahey]

32:30 starrrt

[@doyouevennaturebro4593]

Underrated comment

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

proper prizes - well done

[@cosaovidiu2838]

[@martinbailly573]

[@EmilTheoneandonly]

[@CAP416]

Big up to Beau. That was a scary ass fall.

[@maxlgaudi8386]

what a sick place

[@jameshanley3947]

32:44 first run drops

[@Didgitalsky]

More of this please. Epic spot.

[@joec2767]

Are you guys going to do the normal competition style video? This seems like behind the scenes - not exactly what I was hoping for...

[@mxb2432]

This is awesome but too many ads. Ruins the fun :(

[@snowbaord]

GJ Rasman

[@DJjussi1]

16:01 please share song, Shazam failed me

[@benmurphy4211]

Song name at 1:07:30 anyone?

[@alexhodgkinson618]

awesome riding and awesome event but the amount of adverts is a joke

[@gregschlaifer]

Why not do the same format as Jackson? It was an actual contest and not a documentary.

[@livevideoart_inc]

Amazing and unique comp. Loving the NS tour as a skier / nature lover and FWT fan .

[@alexsartorius617]

where are all of the endresults of the videoparts they had to do ?

[@markegg7680]

I SKI ALL YEAR using rollerblades with polls/hiking-sticks with rubberball on the end: this allows cross-country/good exercise going up hill, skating on the flats, and then slalom downhill. AND WHAT WAS APPARENT to me before starting was to study the way I *could* fall, and have all the protective gear needed to prevent injury, eg BMX type helmut PROTECTING face, pads at knees, elbows, and wrists, motorcycle chest protector, AND HIP style hockey-pads. FYI there are 2 primary falls on pavement (if/as you avoid cars): going down onto the pavement, and sliding on it, and hence the pads need plastic over the cushion part. NOW THE GUY HURTING HIS TAILBONE: ARE THEY STUDYING WHAT'S GOOD PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, EG WHY NOT WEAR A BACKPACK WITH SHOCK-ABSORBING MATERIAL INSIDE, AS I THINK (SOME) RIDERS DID IN THE PREVIOUS NAT-SEL EVENT?

[@thomaslambert6007]

so so good! mahalo y'all

[@jamescorbett5729]

Kinda like kinda like kinda like freakin awesome...

[@Stokeddotcom]

Yeeeeew! 🤙

[@skibombb5312]

Their sustainability part was literally a Yeti ad lol

[@jameskerr7828]

So sick!

[@AlexanderOrion]

Just epic.

[@jobagirl]

😊 thanks but man this tape had more ads than play time.... 😔

[@ibrahimtaheraly4861]

What's the Pink jacket Mikey Rencz has on? It's awesome

[@slazmojj]

Awesome event!! Ads every 6 minutes is super lame!!! RedBull can afford to not do that bs boooo!

[@albinliungman1093]

Just watch it pn red bull tv. No ads

[@albinliungman1093]

And it’s free

[@doyouevennaturebro4593]

Jackson format > this one

[@KamikazeeRyan]

32:30 for the start. Also does anyone know what song that is?

[@poopeyzi]

Love the land acknowledgement

[@hazeymatheus9603]

yes sir

[@lundonvogue719]

what song is at 1:09 ?

[@tylergus2111]

Blessings

[@Siggvard]

1:07:04 What song is that?

[@michaelcunningham6615]

is mark mcmorris a travis pastrana clone?

[@arirahimzadeh]

WOOWoOwOwoOWO !

[@alexeyalyanin5492]

How to find soundtrack?! Wanna use at my ride 🙏

[@marios739]

someone has to make a supercut where you just see them riding ^^

[@justinruins]

couldn't y'all have done an avalanche awareness commercial at a different place and time, i'm more than certain the riders have already been there done that... btw was this an actual contest or simply feel goo-good fluff

[@rock_your_boat]

Not exactly the format I was expecting. Jackson Hole event did it better.

[@lex_inker]

I think I would have preferred the format they used at Jackson hole with commentary.

[@logan2233]

Imagine if all that snow was cocaine. 🤩

[@basedsalty6970]

Yea alot crackheads would be headed that way

[@rak1535]

This is way better than C

[@GradeVisuals]

Is there a difference? 🤔

[@guikgfzjr7]

Lots of safety measures yet most of them don't wear a helmet.

[@nathankoch9344]

(dab) Noice.

[@Spookrider100]

Whats with the old wise man of the snow commentary....please stop it smh....

[@crankdogs]

yooew

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

This was not as good as the Jackson event.

[@fotafoto]

I don’t understand why you only mention sponsors in rider bios that contributed to the event. It is not cool at all. Just name the board sponsor.

[@jmm09015]

I always find it funny that these athletes (particularly skiers and snowboarders) who live extremely healthy lives, eat healthy, exercise regularly are sponsored one of the worst things you can put into your body (Red Bull).

[@DIA4000]

way to ruin the quietness of nature there

[@shammone3333]

God damn Trump for those 30 new Covid deaths due to avalanche

[@Idk-hk8id]

How is it his fault

[@doyouevennaturebro4593]

Can’t you enjoy something without bringing politics into it?

[@oldmanwillyboy2786]

This was BC virtue-signalling, woke-flake BS with some snow-boarding thrown in! Very disappointing
