Natural Selection Tour 2024 Final REPLAY: Selkirk Tangiers

The final round of this year's Natural Selection Tour saw 12 of the best snowboarders in the world head deep into British Columbia's Revelstoke mountain range's Selkirk Tangiers - more than half a million acres of backcountry terrain best accessed by helicopter.
Unlike Montana Bowl's backcountry and the man-made setup used for qualifying in Revelstoke, the final's Mosquito Bowl location was completely raw: an expansive and open field that paired huge natural features up top with technical, tree-dense drops towards the bottom of the course. Riders were treated to a bluebird day and a fresh dump of powder on the course.
Quarter-final Matchups MEN:
Torsten Horgmo vs. Sage Kotsen
Austen Sweetin vs. Mikey Ciccarelli
Jared Elston vs. Nils Mindnich
Torgeir Bergrem vs. Travis Rice
Semi-final Matchups WOMEN:
Hailey Langland vs. Marion Haerty
Jamie Anderson vs. Mary Rand

I don’t understand why nst isn’t more popular. RedBull u need to fund NST more

[@batcountry6867]

They've made the storyline confusing and hard to follow for even diehard snowboarders

[@mikelambert4492]

What an absolutely perfect riding venue!!! Fantastically produced. Thank you to all the riders, producers, amd sponsors for giving an old OG rider something wonderful to watch and envision at home! Thanks Travis for not only being a founder, but a competitor ripping each year as well.

[@SinnersOrSaints]

Couldn't have said it better😊

[@westyjah]

Mindich might have gotten slightly burned, flawless switch run top to bottom. Unreal effort by all the riders!

[@dnch]

amazing spot and weather, but 3and half hour video and you wouldnt even bother to show all runs, such a shame

[@thesporkofsatan]

Why are they cutting runs out??!! That makes no sense, if u wanted to watch a highlight reel, I’d watch one.

[@futrz5376]

Love nst soooo much. We need this forever

[@wakeabyss]

What happened to to the full run footage? Just highlights?

[@shouldbeasy9721]

Basically skipped Kotsenburg's second run - WTF redbull.

[@AbnerLi]

This is dream!! So sick!!

[@rgarewal100]

Why aren't they showing the full runs? Also, what was that about the K2 giveaway? That just took me to a newsletter signup.

[@muse63027]

Love watching this zen fest on a big screen, HD, perfecta!!

[@GuglielmoMannaia]

This is amazing. Shame the winners are on other thumbnails already though so we already know the ending.

[@Sorokin_Serge]

Jared Elston's run was insane.

[@pistolen87]

Why did it take 6 days for this to show up in my feed?

[@mikelambert4492]

What up with Nils carving it up switch!! Nice!!

[@Ryan-td3td]

Elston was jipped a few points on his second run, I'd say. Should've of matched Rice's 93

[@sebastianwallach2695]

I think it’s valuable to take the 50% calve force increase that you found and flip it around to apply to any other discipline of riding than DH. That would mean that on a trail bike when you’re pedaling 50% of the time, you’re able to put out 50% more power to your pedals because the force your feet can put through the pedals is 50% more if you have your cleat fully forward! To me, it seems the moral of the story is, with your cleats on the ball of your feet is the most efficient unless you are only riding downhill!

[@angataa]

would like to see victor de le rue next year , he is a hard charger.

[@beepbopbeepbop0]

Wow the venue is immaculate

[@deniseva3366]

I love it when the winner is unexpected, even to himself. 🇨🇦.

[@bestestname6757]

East coast, represents. Could Mikey or anyone do Nils run? Mikeys knows, but could Nils do Mikeys run, pretty sure. Either way the great showing by both riders.❤

[@alexp8439]

Why are so many runs cut only showing the recap?

[@Dino_Savr]

Jared Elston was robbed on that second run. Unreal lol

[@justinruins]

If the editing was half as good as the commentating was bad, there might be something almost-entirely watchable

[@aidanisbister2672]

💪🏻

[@surfnsnow2264]

No Ak this year?

[@matheuscassio9662]

Muito curta essa pista, tinha que ser maior

[@mikelambert4492]

I gotta add, I hope the riders get a full day of free riding after the event.

[@youtubewatcherrr]

Where is this at? Which city in which Resort

[@oldies1831]

Use google child

[@bestestname6757]

Roundtop mountain in Pennsylvania 😂 Did you see a lift anywhere?

[@doyouevennaturebro4593]

I think it’s Abu Dhabi

[@djevans614]

U have a 4 hour video and u fast forward thru Travis' second run. And then play the entire conversation after.. so dumb. We want to see the snowboarding, not the talking.

[@user-wb5fv8no8r]

Don't think he won two hits then nothing else

[@fksflicks5656]

bet bet

[@alev4287]

Judging was ok but man i hate seeing them give it to Nils over Travis there. As a spectator I just want what honestly looked like Torstein and Trav for the final, but judges seem to be copying Wsl style pick the new guys, when they’re not doing consecutive 540’s nor biggest airs like trav and tor.

[@LucasTown]

You can say it.. judging suuuucked. Travis opened up that whole mountain. Fresh tracks every run…That first double back he threw was like “whoa” another level.

[@Cmcmillen77]

A perfect example of the differences between men and women in professional sports.

[@cdaddyoo]

Maybe its just me but the over emphasis on riding switch makes great riders look like average riders. I'd rather see these pros do rad stuff in their natural stance.

[@josephaudebert7480]

You are KINGS EVERYONE. NEVER EVER, LET SOMEBODY LET YOU SAY SOMETHING BAD. I LOVE YOU ALL.😙😙❤❤🙏🙏

[@benchywang]

Total disappointment this year. The series has seemed to have lost direction in all ways. The vision on how the riders were going to be judged has been lost. ps invite some different riders ffs

[@trakdropmanager8801]

yeah judging by announcer handing out awards with mittens and a neck gaiter on. "just strapped out, here to tell yall who won"

[@ekramhossain1982]

10000/5000 for second/third prize ....... why so cheap? Those people took very high risk. That is disheartening.

[@mountainlife2411]

Not showing full runs because of falls, drone problems, thumbnail spoilers, commentators saying same things over and over for 6 hours. This is impossible to watch if you:re not a snowboarder.

[@onegod7257]

These guys need to optimize their runs more & study where the hits are. Not that exciting to watch turns in pow. They missed a lot of potential.

[@doyouevennaturebro4593]

Yea bro you should get in there n show them

[@onegod7257]

@@doyouevennaturebro4593 I WOULD IF I WAS STILL PRO & BODY NOT SO BROKE BRAH

[@mackybernardo9390]

"everybody here is coming in like a HS dropout and homeboy over here is in the honors program" hahahahaha wtf

[@matheuscassio9662]

Carro elétrico não presta

[@badajrjr]

The commentators for this are horrendous. DEI chosen.

[@lacolinadesyeux1326]

NST is Way better than the FWT becoming so boring due to their stupid system, organizing events in some areas with bad snow and their stupid system of judging that does not encourage creativity and fun but perfect control in landings....NST should do events with skiers also, they probably would love to come.

[@doyouevennaturebro4593]

Idk. Men’s and women’s ski and board just destroys the snow for the later runs.

[@gusbean]

Baldface wuz best 🧨

[@thewraithize]

Worst NST ever this year. Production was terrible. Just an absolute mess on both days

[@richardcolthurst421]

dope, commentators kinda annoying

[@bestestname6757]

You people keep putting this down and we wont have it next year. Shit you try filming in the back country with drones and everything has to be heli'd in. Sheez

[@claudehublard3059]

Talking so much shit and not even showing the full runs

[@doyouevennaturebro4593]

Agreed. That’s annoying

[@seancynamon7466]

Elston got robbed

[@aidanisbister2672]
