Winter X is coming!

Filming for Real Snow, Winter X Games
Only the first to do so are remembered. David Wise and the other insanely gifted athletes of the super-pipe are stoked to drop jaws. From January 23-26, Aspen will play host to those that go big. I know that the Olympics are soon to follow, but damn if the X Games don't get the first word. After the super-pipe, real snow is one of my favorite events. Athletes get to film themselves on their home terrain doing what they do best on the daily. Peep their amazing videos here. Big ups to the extraordinary athletes who truly push the envelope. Those of us on the left coast are dying for snow. To the shredders who actually have powder, thanks for inspiring. If the snow doesn't fly, you should. In the meantime, check out Deja Vu to get your wintry fix.

Wise-ly done!

David Wise has once again won gold at X games. the super pipe shredder became the first person ever to throw back to back 1260's. this young man is a joy to watch. regardless of his youth, he is a husband and a father, making his accomplishments a team effort. speaking of team, this Reno native, who skis Tahoe, is a member of the 4FRNT family. 4FRNT is an awesome company based out of Salt Lake City. Congratulations David on another outstanding performance. as a skier, i really appreciate where you are taking the sport. the run starts with a 720, followed by a switch tumble flat 1080 (sick), that gave way to the combo of double cork 1260's, it's absolutely insane. he gifted Aspen the two best runs in the pipe. David was right, last night was his night. good show D dub.
