Nike Chosen Behind the Crew: Mt. Seymour

By: Heather Hendricks

The Mt. Seymour Chosen Crew is an eclectic group of snowboarders who range in age and ability. They met because of their passion for snowboarding and commitment to Mt. Seymour but have also formed a strong bond off the mountain. All of the crew members are super talented shredders and have a blast riding together because they share the mindset that snowboarding should always be about having fun. Nike recently met up with the crew and got an inside look at a day in the life of the Mt. Seymour Chosen Crew.

The Chosen is an online video contest for snowboarders on Facebook-- where style, creativity, and camaraderie reign supreme.

Round 1 is about creating buzz and getting noticed through social hustle. The crew in each country with the most social buzz and ability to capture their style, creativity, and originality will be chosen by Nike to advance on 2/17/12.

Round 2 will open on 2/21/12 and the top country crews and wildcards will battle for 14 days to earn the international vote. The 3 crews with the most votes on 3/5/12 will be chosen to advance to The Chosen Sessions.

The 3 final crews will be announced on 3/12/12. These crews will be flown to Austria to film an all new edit, documenting their travel, and riding experience during the week of the Nike Chosen Sessions slopestyle event. On the final day of the event, the winning crew will be chosen by the Nike athletes to live like a pro.

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...
