First, let's pretend that the first 37 seconds of this re-edit didn't involve Rusty trapping a bird inside his jacket and seeing if it could find it's way out. Good, now I can focus on the fact that this kid likes to spin a lot of times while usually looking pretty stylish grabbing onto his board. He also likes to stomp these spins in fresh powder. Seems like he pulls this off a lot as this re-edit of his part in Rome Snowboards latest movie, "The Shred Remains" is pretty much solid proof.

Now, let's remember that he did trap a bird inside his jacket for who knows how long. I think that makes this re-edit even more awesome. Animal cruelty? Nah. That bird definitely looked like it flew into his outerwear happily and willingly. It looked like it might have even shed a tear as it escaped because it was enjoying itself so much...trapped...inside a jacket.

Tangent aside, Rusty Ockenden makes snowboarding look effortless. In this video, he's hucking himself all over the backcountry and looks like he's having one hell of a time doing so. This fully brought on the strong itch to shred and that's most often a good sign. Enjoy.
