Here is the second episode in Red Bull's Who is J.O.B. 2.0, which follows Jamie O'brien's 2011/2012 North Shore season.

The first episode covered Haleiwa and Sunset, and now we have a look at the event of Jamie's season, the Pipe Masters.

Despite being considered the favorite out at pipe by many people, including himself, Jamie fell short of hoisting another Pipe Masters trophy this season.

Red Bull and Travis Rice today announce the 16 snowboarders who accepted invitations to compete at the inaugural Red Bull Supernatural at Baldface Lodge outside of Nelson, B.C., Canada. Invites were sent to riders on the forefront of bringing freestyle snowboarding into natural terrain.

On one day between February 3rd and 8th, riders from seven different countries will compete in a first-of-its-kind backcountry competition designed to challenge, then crown the best all-around snowboarder on the planet.

The invite list is partially made up of the top finishers from the Quiksilver Natural Selection, such as Mark Carter, DCP, Nicolas Muller and Wolfgang Nyvelt. Travis Rice and a panel of experts next extended invites to established pros and freeride contenders including Jake Blauvelt, John Jackson, Mark Landvik and Terje Haakonsen. To round out the freestyle contingent of the field, Scotty Lago and Kazu Kokubo, along with two wildcards who are deeply involved in contest-based slopestyle snowboarding, were invited.

Wildcard invites will go to the X Games men's slopestyle gold medalist, to be crowned on January 28th in Aspen, and the current top seeded slopestyle rider on the TTR World Tour, Canadian Mark McMorris. If Mark McMorris wins slopestyle at X Games, the second wildcard spot will go to the silver medalist.

Red Bull Supernatural's judging team will include some of the most recognized legends of snowboarding including Tom Burt (Head Judge), Andy Hetzel, Temple Cummins, Shin Campos, Bryan Iguchi and Mel Simmons (Assistant Head Judge). The overall impression judging system will be used taking into account the line's risk, flow, amplitude, creativity, tricks and control.

Overall judged scores will look at the riders' use of the course as a whole, navigating the steep upper tree section, two cliff bands, a 300' wide jump and a lower powder park section. All competitors will receive two complete runs with a bonus third run going to the riders who finish in the top eight after the first two runs. The best single run score of the day will win.

Louie Vito and Bobby Brown are at the top of their game in their respective fields of skiing and snowboarding. Both shred competitively and boast a boatloads of sponsors, including the all-powerful energy drink, Red Bull. This season, Red Bull is producing a series of behind-the-scenes edits that will follow these shred-stars throughout all of their competitions and worldwide travels.

Livin' Louie and Bobby's Life give a glimpse into the lives of these pros and what it's like to live like them. The first episodes just hit the web and show these pros training in the pre-season and getting warmed up on their home mountains.

Who do think is living larger? Bobby or Louie?

In this first webisode of Livin' Louie Vito we start off at the snowboarding Olympian's home in Salt Lake City, Utah before pumping some iron in his favorite gym and hitting the snow park with rider Stevie Bell.

The skiing preseason has just begun for Bobby Brown in his hometown of Denver, Colorado as him and his friends take full advantage of Breckenridge snow jumps a day before opening. It's full speed ahead as he travels to Woodward at Copper to test out double cork variations just before heading to Sweden for a big air event before Dew Tour.

Travis Rice and Red Bull have teamed up once again to the change the way we perceive competitive snowboarding. The Red Bull Super Natural is gearing up to be the most progressive contest in snowboard history. In an effort to find the best overall snowboarder in the world, Rice conceptualized a contest that would combine all elements of competitive snowboarding, but in the backcountry of interior British Columbia.

Sound crazy? That's because it is.

Rice and Red Bull spent this past summer scouting the perfect location and building hundreds of log features for the event. The course is only accessible by snow cats and helicopters and mixes man-made features with natural elements. We're talking lumberjack-built pillow lines, dozens of tree-jibs, log ladders, transfers and even a massive kicker that will have 250 foot-wide take off.

On February 2-9, eighteen of the world's best riders will descend upon BC for this monumental contest. The event spans seven days because Rice wants to make sure that conditions and snow pack are the best possible, to ensure all riders fair runs. The format of the event will be the best of two runs with the top nine scores making it unto the third run. The rider that puts down this best third run will take the highly coveted win. This is more than just a simple contest title; it's earning the prestige of being the world's best snowboarder.

Invited Rider List (unconfirmed): John Jackson, Nicolas Mueller, DCP, Lucas Debari, Scotty Lago, Kazu Kokubo, Jake Blauvelt, Gigi Ruff, Wolle Nyvelt, Mark Landvik, Devun Walsh, Pat Moore, Shaun White, Terje Haakonsen, Mark Carter, and Travis Rice.

Wildcard spots: Winner of North Face Masters, Winter X Games slopestyle gold medalist.

Second chances don't happen everyday but Levi LaVallee will get his shot at redemption on New Year's Eve in San Diego when he attempts to break his own world record jumping his snowmobile 361ft over the San Diego Harbor.

The mental hurtle LaVallee must get past may prove more difficult than the jump itself. He's only one year removed from critically injuring himself attempting to break the same record. The night to which LaVallee was to make his leap into stardom on National Television didn't pan out as he had to settle for the world record in practice. That is until this year when LaVallee gets a second opportunity.

"I am so pumped to be able to come back to Red Bull: New Year. No Limits.," said LaVallee. "Last year obviously didn't go the way I was hoping, and I am excited to have another chance at this amazing opportunity."

This time he'll be joined by Robbie Maddison, a two-time alumni of Red Bull New Year. No Limits. Maddo will be looking to jump his bike more than 400 feet to eclipse the current record of 391 feet.

"Jumping long distances is a passion of mine, and I'm excited to come back for New Years Eve and sail over San Diego Harbor," said Maddison. "400 feet is my goal. It's not all about getting the world record to me, it's more about understanding this feat and the commitment ahead to achieving what most would consider an impossible jump."

Maddo kick-started No Limits in 2007 by jumping his motorcycle 322 feet over a football field in Las Vegas and followed it up in 2008 by jumping onto - and off - the 96-foot-tall Arc De Triomphe at Paris Las Vegas.

The event will air live from San Diego, Calif., on Saturday, December 31 at approximately 11 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. PT on ESPN.
