He's been making history ever since he busted into the competitive scene a mere four years ago. Now at age nineteen, the Colorado native has made history once again. At a private terrain park that was built by Red Bull in Squaw Valley, California, Brown stomped the first-ever triple cork 1440. Poor Boys Productions was on hand to capture all the glory and released evidence of the amazing feat for your viewing pleasure. Congrats Bobby! Channels: Snow Winter of Wells 20: Austrian & European OpenThe 20th episode of Winter of Wells has just dropped and with it come an explosion of European contest skiing. From the Atomic Austrian Open to the European Open in Laax, Switzerland, this episode follows Jossi Wells and his brother Byron through the milieu of competitive skiing. Jossi, the elder Wells, is just coming off an injury, but returns to the contest setting with one goal in mind, to ski as well as he can and put down runs he's happy with. He accomplishes this goal by stomping huge spins on the massive course in Austria and also slays the pipe at the European Open. Byron Wells has been turning heads all season with his fierce style and go get 'em attitude and displays his drive in this video. Check out the Kiwi's at work. Channels: Snow Red Bull Ski-Jib KingsThe weather in Europe has been unseasonably warm this winter, but Red Bull still managed to put together a progressive jib-contest in Seiser Alm, Italy. ![]() Since there wasn't an abundance of snow to work with for the competition, Alex Berger and the F-tech crew got creative and made jumps and jibs out of surrounding materials for the first annual Red Bull Ski-Jib King contest. The set-up consisted of hay bails, tractors, fence jumps, and log jibs which made for a fun comp amongst top skiers in Italy. Check out the recap and pics from Newschoolers. Words by Skye Darden Photos courtesy of Red Bull Content Pool The first annual Red Bull Jib-Ski King event recently took place on the Spitzbul run (Alpe di Siusi) in Seiser Alm, Italy. About 30 pro riders from all over South Tyrol, America, Spain and Norway showed up to this very unusual course set up, hoping to become the first ever 'Jib-Ski King'. All of the features on the course were specifically set up to blend in with the natural surroundings of the area. The jibs included small kickers built up to features such as hay bails and small fences, larger kickers shaped beneath totem and lift poles, along with a sweet step down jump and two different butter box set-ups, including one which went right through a cow pen. Needless to say, it was an amazing set up by Alex Berger and the F-tech crew. As the morning began, the small lift was packed with athletes checking out the course. Because of the heat from the often-blazing season we've had over here in Europe, the riders were only allowed three runs each through the maze of obstacles. Once the comp was whittled down to the remaining eight, it was officially go time. The remaining eight then put down their best runs to determine the final four. Within the drama of the qualifiers, Markus Eder, who has had the best year of any Italian...ever, kept crashing on one of the last jibs. He was trying to nose tap 7 the lift pole, but kept over rotating due to small size of the landing. However he made it count in the end, especially on the step down with a lovely switch misty 9. But it was McRae Williams who absolutely slayed the entire course, and skied the lower part entirely switch, sometimes even better than most of the riders were riding it natural. Head on over to Newschoolers for the rest of the recap and photos from the fun event. Channels: Snow Winter Dew Tour: Ski slopestyle finals![]() Words & photos by Dan Brown The final day of the Killington stop of the Winter Dew Tour is now complete. After three days of events, sponsored parties and typical New England cold, the tour now heads to Ogden, Utah for the Toyota Championships, taking place on February 10th through the 13th. Finishing off the weekend was the Men's Slopestyle Finals, which took place earlier this morning and will be broadcasted later tonight on the USA Network at 2:00 am EST. Brew some coffee or crack open an energy drink, it's going to be a late one. Today's finals started once again under a blue sky, and for anyone familiar with the winter weather in the Northeast, consistent clear skies is a blessing. The course, unchanged since the previous days prelims, consisted of a top rail section into three large jumps. One change of note was that the judging platform adjacent to the second rail feature was replaced by one of NBC's massive broadcast cameras, allowing the judging to take place via a live camera feed. After an hour of practice and a 15-minute course maintenance period, skiers began gathering at the top of the course in anticipation. As cameras moved into position, the first skier was ready to drop in. At 10:45, things got rolling. Make the jump to Newschoolers for more pictures and action from the last day of the Winter Dew Tour in Killington. Channels: Snow Ski pipe finals and slopestyle prelims: Winter Dew Tour![]() Words & photos by Dan Brown Day two of the Killington stop of the Winter Dew Tour has just wrapped up, with Men's Ski Slopestyle Prelims occurring in the first half of the day, followed by Men's Ski Superpipe Finals underneath the lights in the evening. The day started under a crisp bluebird sky at the top of Lower Skyburst for Men's Ski Slopestyle Prelims, where 25 competitors battled the New England cold and each other for the nine available spots to advance to the finals. The course consisted of six features, beginning with a down rail to the option of a down-flat-down or flat, gap, flat-down box, into a three way split of either a cannon pipe, flat down or a cannon box. Three massive jumps rounded out the remainder of the course. Similar to yesterday, ample time was afforded to the athletes for warm up runs, which began at 10:00 and continued for over two hours. In that time period, athletes hot lapped the setup, perfecting their technique for the impending competition. It was during this time that French Canadian Paul 'B-Paul' Bergeron unfortunately went down, injuring his jaw and forcing him to drop out of the competition. We wish him a speedy recovery. Following some quick course maintenance by both the Killington Park Staff and Snowpark Technologies, who've kept both the slopestyle course and pipe in immaculate shape, the prelims started. Technical rail sections and smooth airs seemed to be the theme of the day, making the judge's job not one of envy but as mentioned, the top nine would be the only athletes to advance to tomorrow's finals. For the crowd whom had made the trek up the side of the course, it was certainly a site to see. Pop on over to Newschoolers for more pictures and the rest of the action from Dew Tour Day 2.
