“Watching Ben and Sage Kotsenburg get into this jump in the Jackson, WY backcountry was wild. No one had stepped to it since Travis Rice and his crew had put it up years prior. It was looming over all the other features we were riding, and there was such a shift in the vibe when we started building it. Those two elevated their eye for terrain early on in filming for Joy and maintained the pace for the rest of the season after hitting this behemoth. Here’s Ben with a frontside 1080 over the gap.” Photo: Aaron Blatt
