Raw Session On Chads Gap

[@MrBlueberry1337]

This raw format is awesome. So interesting to see the actual build up. Also that in run alone is craazy!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Run in is so gnarly

[@ak47fakes]

This is the content the culture needs!

[@SageKotsenburg]

We’ll keep it coming

[@philchevrier]

How effin' impressive is it having all the guys land their first attempt? Wow...

[@SageKotsenburg]

Such a good feeling

[@philchevrier]

@@SageKotsenburg you guys rock!

[@BrianCrofoot]

Wow. I can’t say enough! You boys are making it look EASY! That first hit made it look so mellow, meanwhile it’s one of the gnarliest gaps around! I remember seeing that skier Tanner Hall break his ankles on this years ago. SO HEAVY! Loving this content!

[@Joe-nu2sz]

Baden was too casual with it on that first hit. So sick

[@oakmanyes]

Yeah, that fs 360 Nosebone should have gotten a slowmo! Everything sick =)

[@Putzinator]

Dude Nik hitting that hardway first try was so fucking gnarly... Honestly never heard of him but just watched some videos and that dude can rip. SAGE THAT BANGER WAS INSAAAANE. Congrats man and RIP Grandma.

[@SageKotsenburg]

Baden is a G!!

[@SeizeSir]

dont even have to watch before liking, i already know its a banger

[@SageKotsenburg]

Haha i love it 🙌

[@Grzy0]

Love seeing the genuine stoke from the crew, that last hit was bonkers.

[@josephaudebert7480]

Holy Molly My GOODNESS. Sooooooooooooo Huge. Love you guys. Peace. 💖💖🙏🙏😇😇

[@Rotelii]

session vids are killer, please keep them coming

[@SageKotsenburg]

So fun to see the bts

[@Anthonyhancock71]

Jeezus. Sitting here in my concrete truck watching this. Absolutely fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks Boss

[@GimbalGod]

If this thing ain’t at a million by January i swear to god

[@TwitchThis1]

So hard 🙌🏻

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks G 🤙

[@cdavidson86]

My god!!! Those sticks on the first run!!! Unreal! That feeling must be better than hitting the lottery! Cheers boys!!!

[@darkhorseeuc]

Lovin the raw.. feels like I’m there.

[@chadotterstrom]

This is great. Thanks for promoting my gap.

[@mconti564]

Great session boyz - so funny I skied with Chad back before he pioneered this jump with Brent Benson. He used to send the Blackjack elbow on crappy K2 gs skis before heading back to wash dishes at the Lodge. Never woulda predicted we were part of pre-history. Glad to have been a part of it - especially “Fat Tuesday” You’d know it if you were there. 92 inches of Pow, road closed, tram open, just a lucky few there to ride… ❄️🏂 🤩

[@PorterMTB]

That was so good, that jump is wild. Love these vids!!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks Porter!

[@Luke-id8ql]

love this channel... its really what snowboard videos have been missing which is essentially the bonus features... but how can you bring back the secret part/section?

[@SageKotsenburg]

Bonus/secret sections were soo sick, we’ll figure a way to get those going. Thanks for watching

[@mbailey802]

yeah yeah keep the raw uploads coming, these are sick. the in-runs are fierce.

[@SageKotsenburg]

We will def keep em coming, new vid next week from a jump i hit last march

[@piercec6912]

For grandma!! Love it

[@jarsh_]

some say if youre there on the right night, you can still hear in the distance "IVE GOT BROKEN ANKLES, MY ANKLES ARE BROKE"

[@thomasflocco3741]

So fkn bad ass! Loved watching the process to the back 12. Absolutely insane!!!

[@PeacefulBreathing]

That run in is so gnarly … so much speed and gotta be balanced in the last few meters … and that air time … wow

[@robertfryer9821]

Chads is where legends are made the history of that jump from the beginning has had such a history in snow sports

[@zacklanden2525]

Sage, you a straight boss!!!

[@Steven-bu6xd]

that run in is crazyyy! boys are zoomin!

[@boardforthescraping]

that last speed check before the kicker is nuts

[@fingermcgee]

Insanity 💪. Raws got the vibes. Thanks for the hard work folks, gets me fired up!

[@SageKotsenburg]

All the vibes

[@astreet339]

That first test run was buttery af!

[@auburneagle1410]

That’s the best trick I’ve ever seen on video at Chads gap!!! I thought it was a 900, so smooth🤙🏽🤘🏽😁

[@Jacob223390]

Major!!! Good stuff you guys, keep it up.

[@creach6736]

pleas put out more of these raw videos. By far my favorite style of backcountry videos

[@troyogden2460]

The grind don’t stop till the rail ends>

[@payrez540]

It seems to me that Sage is the guy, when it comes to huge gnarly jumps. He steps up.

[@samwise9122]

Damn. Sage is built different under pressure. Love the raw format please keep ‘em coming!

[@holdencpecb]

shoutout grandma.

[@yakked]

That's what's up

[@SageKotsenburg]

Shouts to grandma 🙌🙌

[@jamtronllc]

This gave me chills.

Yisss! You get what you put out baby!!! 🤣🔥🔥🔥

Mental Chad’s session! Cheers gentlemen.

No doubt

[@daveamirault]

A back dub 12... on Chad's. 🔥

[@SageKotsenburg]

Yeah Dave! 🙌🙌

[@michaellarkin5141]

Gonna be a while before somebody goes bigger than that. Good work boys!!!

[@buizberder]

sacré bleuuuuuu!! Impressive stuff

[@ehtikhet]

So good with no music!

[@derekcarday]

I can feel the nerves hahaha. This is awesome.

[@SageKotsenburg]

Yeah Derek! Hectic pyramid gap sessions one of the best vids

[@derekcarday]

@@SageKotsenburg 🙌🙌watching raw sessions, especially on those jumps, hits different for some reason 🤜🤛

[@djSpinege]

I once walked into a secret room at the video store in the 90's and found a video called Chads Gap.

[@Sketchbag]

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo good my dog!!!

[@SageKotsenburg]

🙌

[@bretspangler8717]

Good stuff!

[@charcuteri]

so sick the raw videos sage!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks 🙌

[@Qdobafett]

That run in is preposterous

[@wirmiter]

The in-run is one of the hardest parts of the gap. Let alone deciding where to start for first hit and the building of the kicker

[@SageKotsenburg]

In run is so heavy

[@tompong3849]

insane, absolut banger session ,...so sick ! 🤙

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks a ton!

[@danieladams3871]

That gap is too much. Bravo guys

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks boss

[@johann8686]

mental!

[@tannnerrr]

Such good content

[@nicholaselliott2484]

I just don’t comprehend what you guys do, you guys nailing the speed first try and riding away first try is nuts. Speed checking just on park jumps gives me anxiety!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Thanks, this one was beast for sure!

[@nicholaselliott2484]

@@SageKotsenburg Random comment, but I took a bunch of computer engineering classes with Blaze at the U. He was fun to work with, I thought it was funny I got to know him after seeing you guys hucking all the time on Pick and Shovel haha

[@RP-dn9rv]

insane gap!

[@willd4716]

Three fuckin 3’s all first try and then a 1260. This session is unreal. Love the edit.

[@thlee3]

the run up is insane

[@marcohpro]

Best web series out rn

[@robertbjorklund62]

So insane! If you've seen the gap in person it's mind boggling how big it is. These guys built different! ...Didn't Alta patrol destroy it a year or two ago? Sucks if true.

[@LilHernia]

I can’t believe you guys can recover for the take off. It looks like you’re gonna g out every time 😂 so fuckin gnarly!

[@griffinsiebert664]

Ya'll are gnarly

[@johnconnolly1448]

Phat Gabe 🔛🔝

[@cpmorgan5000]

3:25 he is going so fucking fast on the run up his board is skipping on the ground - no helmet - totally amazing

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

So at 1:24, when they are strapping in, there is a little cliff in the background. I'd hit that. LOL

[@altabirddotcom]

Sweet video. The ravine video was rad too 🏂⛷️🎉

[@chrisdiamond962]

obviously the last was a banger but the 7 nose grab was clean as fk. nice session

[@oriolesBraw]

Triple stop to start. Have yourselves a dayyy

[@SageKotsenburg]

Always a good feeling

[@derekcarday]

YESSSS Sage

[@tjdad13]

More of THIS!

[@shainedupuis2649]

MY ANKLES ARE BROKEN!!!!! AHHHHH!!!

[@NilsMindnich]

that drop in 😲

[@Spinpaw]

This is so sick, love the raw footage. Did you guys have to walk back up after each hit? Brutal

[@maxstrong6915]

Man I didn't even know it got built this year, the snow has been so shit and loose

[@SageKotsenburg]

This was a few years back just uploaded the raw sesh 🤙

[@maxstrong6915]

@@SageKotsenburg thank God, I thought I missed out this year, I haven't even been checking back country because of how shady the snow has been this year

[@URabout2b]

insane. everyone spun first hit.

[@Lord_Crofts]

Bro, do you remember back in 2011 when I gave you a signed Monster energy at the X Games in Aspen?

[@TooChEASY]

Y'all made Chad's gap look wayyy to easy

[@mattoates3691]

Has anything bigger been put down on cg?

[@craigversheck7835]

Fuckin awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@macofish1]

What the fuck indeed! Sage's? last trick in slowmo was cool, but then cut to the real time shot...holy shit he's flyin'!

[@SageKotsenburg]

Fastest double 12 i’ve ever done easily

[@dabbadoodle]

Soooo fucking epic!

[@randysavage7392]

how do you get to chad's from the bottom of alta? january 8th - 15th ish me and a few friends are gonna be out in alta. need to know how to get to chads gap from alta base, or whether or not its possible to ski to it. iykyk

Nothing like a 130 ft front 3 Guinea pig😳😳🙌🙌👆

Baden is a g

[@seanwilde6680]

Ok. So fire!! Not only Sage but everyone seshed the f$@k out of Chad… anyone that’s been to that monster, trust me it’s 3 x’s bigger in person

🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@jovantrendmaker4722]

You need to go 80kmh to clear the gap i heard once

[@thesnowgeorge]

INSANE

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

"I broke my ankles!!!!!!!!!"

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

A legit question: at this point, is there a template for that kicker? I mean, are you following specific rules in terms of measurements for the kicker in that spot? I guess the anwser is yes, like in a snow park, but I don't know, I am very curious about it. By the way, you are all insane. Just the speed alone is scary as fck.

[@SageKotsenburg]

Kinda, we just looked at old videos and knew where to build the jump and knew to try and mellow out the compression as much as possible… heavy one!

[@toddthurgood1840]

Do you guys hike that ? How many hits do you get ?! I believe in the absinthe vid , they got 🚁 shuttle ?

[@SageKotsenburg]

Yep fully hiked it! Never knew Absinthe helied it til after 😂 earned it for sure

[@LeonTrump2024]

For Grandma

[@daneshannon6186]

Was this the day Kyle randomly rolled up on a ski test with pin bindings and sent it?

[@SageKotsenburg]

That was a year or 2 after this on Pyramid! Always will rember that day, Kyle was just like that 🙌

[@jadenmoreno8425]

Hmmm are we sure this is 2019??

[@Joe-nu2sz]

Did Nik ever get that back rodeo 5? That was fucked

[@SageKotsenburg]

Nah he wrecked pretty tough, would have been sick

[@unaicastandersanchez3902]

Estas como una puta cabra!!!!! min 2 para ver la velocidad en el primer pegue y 5:30 para ver la toma al natural! simplemente el puto rey del spot!
