Hectic Pyramid Gap Session

  • Raw footage from our Pyramid gap session in 2009. We started building this in a whiteout and couldn't see how far back we were building it. It ended up further back than it is usually because we built on top of an old jump that was to the first roll not the gap. It was real hard to clear. Some hectic footage. Riders are Roland Morley Brown, Heath Patterson, Derek Johnson and Nick Brown.

    Hitting pyramid was one of the best (and scariest) days of my life. After an intense plyometrics workout, I received a last-minute invite from the New Zealand crew that day. Between jello legs and a 152 contest board, the inrun was by far the most nerve-racking part. Nick walked away from the session with his double back 10, remaining one of the best shots on this jump. Such a fun crew and such a fun day. Forever grateful for that invite!!

      I ski not snowboard so take this with a grain of salt but if you want to gain speed you want to lower your center of gravity for stability and you want to lean/bend your knees to gain speed. You also want to do this so you could pop on the takeoff and get more height.
