AUSTEN SWEETIN || WIND SLAB

In the 12 years that I have been fortunate enough to spend my winters traveling the world to chase winter storms this was the first year I was able to stay home and ride a full winter of storm cycles at my home in Washington.
The Northwest corner of the United States is a unique place to say the least but no matter where I travel I find my self craving the harsh climates of the place I call home. There is something special about something that isn’t easy, maybe it’s the consistent fight to score all time conditions because they are far and few between or maybe its the challenge of navigating through our weather patterns and absurd temperature fluctuations all winter long. It’s the days that it is 36 degrees and snowing that you are patiently waiting for the temps to drop and the snow to lighten and the the sneaky mornings where it was forecasted to rain but its 2 feet of fresh. It’s the challenge of managing these weather patterns and the reward of when it pays off. This 20/21 season with travel being shut down I took the time to stay home and ride out the atmospheric river weather patterns.
Wind Slab is the result of my season at home. This short film is filled with our best shots that were filmed over the course of a few days while filming for the Boardslide Worldwide series. Being home allowed me to hit many of the iconic features that I have looked at and wanted to hit my whole life but haven’t been around in the right conditions to do so. I hope this film gets you fired up for winter and to go boarding but that it also inspires you to explore the areas you live as there are always sneaky little gems to be found.
Until next time, Stay fast.

Now that I've come down from my Dustbox high, this video was powder perfection. Lucy and Austen are a match made in heaven.

[@thecatfishchronicles7640]

The clips at 2:36 was so insane.

[@frocker151]

That was some of the heaviest shit I've seen done on a snowboard. That last line is terrifying. Sick soundtrack too!

@max I'm pickin up what your putting down, and loving it..MBHC for life. Hopefully Bryce and others figure it out. One of the best moments in my life was bout 25 yrs ago witnessing a childhood homie stomping a backside rodeo on that same hit with the snow muncher directly underneath... I still get goosebumps thinking bout it. Much props to double D!!! (Dak face)

[@keepcalmcarryon3358]

Great song, unbelievable riding. amazing edit.

Oh man that was so scary! Never seen an avalanche break like that before, its usually cutting across that sets them off. Awesome video, glad you're ok Austen

Primus track for a Baker rider is proper. Well played.

[@johnfitzgerald1879]

Opens up with a front 7 over the Baker Road Gap... casual. That release was no joke, Sweetin even stomped that landing and rode out of that! This is the second coming of 'Subject Haakonsen.' Sick-ass riding.
