Chris Johnson - Board Slide to Back Flip

I could not resit putting a small sequence together from that insane back flip. This rail is scary just trying 50-50, so launching from it requires skills.

Bear Valley West World Park

A few more photos from the BV West World Park of random snowboarders/skiers most of them from Murphy.

I overheard a few people who wondered who was those kids with their red jackets marked DEVO. DEVO means development team. It's a program from BV where boarders and skiers meet every other weeks with classes from 9:00 to 11:00 and 12:00 to 2:00.

That was a close call!

Possibly my next board
