FINALLY a snowboard comp that isn't simply about how many rotations you can do off a single jump.

[@DanielRene]

There also going almost straight down. Wild.

[@jeffadams9699]

Style and balls! I’m sick of the normal slope style comps these days. Not taking away from those guy’s because those rotations are ridiculous but it’s just the same thing, who can add one more rotation. This back country contest’s are dope as eff!

[@jakeoswald8017]

Once you get Torstein in a backcountry/side country event, you’re seeing another level of competition

[@thedrvn]

Please let this be the future of snowboard comps. Sick of seeing spin to win kids with no style or flow

[@MrLVLVA]

Envy)

[@moralester]

definitely. thats also why guys put way more effort into video parts, that will always be where it's at imo

well im happy if both contests coexist, even though i agree that this is more enjoyable to watch.

[@ItZaViBe89]

Torstein is the steeziest rider of this generation

[@nootstoroots8068]

This is so legendary ... legit an all-star game for back country snowboarding... big ups to Travis and Torstein

[@slowmobius2136]

Idk if he’d be down but they should try to get halldor out there

[@PhamVans]

Dang, never thought I'd ever see these 2 competing, good stuff.

[@folieadeux5463]

this was nice to watch, watching legends actually fall too, it makes me want to snowboard even more. As it feels like im improving even when falling often when trying new tricks

[@nomasprime]

Horgmo, super dude and possibly the most all-round accomplished snowboarder of all time.

[@TheGreatDevFX]

My 2 favorite riders going up. Great to see Torsten competing again

[@sk8coaster42]

2 of my favorite riders going up against each other.. what an epic competition

[@jeffadams9699]

I absolutely LOVE all this!!!!!! Thank you guys! Rice and Torg, my two favorite riders ever

[@TheBL-ZNL]

we need better camera angles, drone shot is cool but doesn't deliver the amplitude well

[@DaJenkz]

Torstein Horgmo looking fresh as always gawwwwd damn

[@MrThalll]

TRice is a legend but that my fucking boy HORMGO RIGHT THERE! LETS GOOO! soo good to see my favorite rider since I was a wee lad back at it killing the game.

[@Dave-vg5qw]

Desde España, viendo estas dos bestias🙌🏼

[@artgarfunkelsgingerfro2886]

I'm just so blown away by the way these guys navigate the trees... The jumps are incredible... but the skill it takes to hit this run at those speeds blows me away.

[@thatisyourname]

Awesome competition and it’s hard to see on the video how hard it actually is to blast huge air and then still control your speed on the landings.

[@Stopmeghost]

the snow conditions look pretty tough. Looks like just a bit of powder on a pretty firm base (dust on crust as we say). I think that's why they're finding it so hard to control the landings. They're washing out when they go to speed check.

[@MsHigheagle]

Epic matchup

[@draven3838]

Rice has an iron construction, and mad respect

[@andyeighttre]

These 2 both added far more to snowboarding progression than anyone in the last 15 years.

[@makeyourownluck8823]

Torstein shreds so hard..both guys do of course...his style is so powerful and smooth its fun to watch.

[@pukki34]

the drone footage is insane good, what drone was used for the follow cam?

[@caseyfpv]

Its a custom built fpv drone

[@OGKook]

Thank you Torstein!!! Take a seat Travis!

[@smumm]

Love this style of comp.. made them interesting to watch again! Although I gotta say, the shameless product plugs/selling is really sad and ruins it.

[@smumm]

@@BobbySKeight for sure they do.. but some do it in a way that isn't as blatant. Product placement and suttle, well crafted, plugs don't disrupt the flow as much as this did.

[@CW-gf5cm]

@@smumm which was the most blatant? Agree they should not disrupt flow

[@Delraven24]

so epic

[@WillTheFrozen]

no snow

[@oriolesBraw]

These landings were toughhh at the top.

[@folieadeux5463]

is torsken riding the capita super doa? i think people see here why its problematic, its too quick. you have to break unaturally close to a jump. its too slippery

[@diogenes1351]

i remember watching these two head to head in xgames 2009 when i was a kid

[@ziemowitigor8427]

Sztos💎🙏

[@MrGman779]

Anyone know what board Torstein is riding?

[@bendelisle9064]

Anyone know what torstein had for straps on the atlas bindings?

[@f.lundamo8906]

Horgmos landings are sooo silky smooth

[@rxgueplanet]

Horgmo is my favorite snowboarder

[@theholdingcompany]

They’re riding obviously out of control because whilst on toe edge, their downhill shoulder is outside the nose of the board. They are quarking.

[@actionjackson666]

Snow’s not that great this season

[@lunkerjunkie]

22:34 "that's a sick tommy dude"

"THE SNOW WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YESTERDAY!!! Surprised Jackson didn't make em get it tattooed on their foreheads.... Snow is shite. Troopers really, for riding that so well.

[@kirkengnath5501]

At this time the judge's have seen all the trick's that rider's do in their run's. While it is true the cleaner you pull and land a trick the better. Now in these run's I am seeing something new that the rider's can put into their run's it might be time to start tail tapping tree's, or if the rider has enough courage and skill try a redirect off a tree.
