Exclusive First Look: Breckenridge's Park Jumps!

By: Adryan Roane Ritter


The jumps are approximately 20 ft, 25 ft, and 30 ft, with "really good pop" according to rider Josh Sherman.

Today, Wednesday November 11th, Josh Sherman, Bobby Brown,Ryan Thompson, and a few other Breckenridge Pro Team riders got to go up to Breckenridge's park early to "test" the jumps for tomorrow's grand opening.

As usual, Breckenridge has come through with a sick triple jump line. That's more impressive than any other early season terrain park can boast. Most of the resorts that are open (Keystone, Copper Mountain, Mt. High, Mammoth Mountain, Bear Mountain, Brighton, Mt. Hood,...just to name a few) are sporting at the most one or two baby kickers or spines, more for jibbing around on.

The triple jump line isn't as big as it will get once the season picks up and more snow falls. You can be sure by the time the Winter Dew Tour comes to Breckenridge those jumps will be uber beefed up.

Breckenridge is cranking up their lifts to skiers and snowboarders tomorrow, November 12th. If you're in the area get your arse over there- a storm is on its way in for the weekend, so you won't be disappointed due to lack of snow.

Stale Sandbech Lands Triple Under-Flip 1260

The 18-year-old stomped it off a massive kicker in Europe.

While many of us were sulking because the season is practically over, Norwegian shredder, Stale Sandbech was busy stomping a brand new trick. A video of the 18-year-old hitting a massive kicker in Europe just surfaced, and in it, Sandbech stomps a triple underflip 1260. Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
