Lars Popp, Lake Tahoe, CA. No doubt that LP has a notable backside air. I’d go as far as saying it’s reminiscent of Nicolas Müller, with his back leg fully extended, arched back, and grab in front of the boot—true European fashion. On this day somewhere near the Sierra Buttes, this little corner spot lined up perfectly for a goofy-footed rider like Lars. A true pleasure to watch. 092 THE SNOWBOARDER’S JOURNAL
