10. Breckenridge Opened Their Jumps! - (Season 5, Day 24)

First drop on Breck's Jumps, can't beat that. Like you drifted in front of me, that was terrifying. We've been waiting to release the beast. What was that? It's a fine. Let's go! What up Team Hawk House? What up buddy? We're at Breck today and based off their Instagram, it looks like their jumps are opening up today. And we couldn't be more excited, especially this kid. He loves jumps. And yeah, we're gonna go try and find the jumps. Hopefully they're open. If they're not, we're still at the park. What up boys? You guys ready for a sick day? That's enough talking guys. Let's go Breck! I think they're gonna open today guys. They got the flags in them. They look so good. So we just got a couple more warm-up runs and then eventually that will open up. Now on the note of warm-up, did you guys see when I did that run? I started off, I like got my body moving a little bit. Then I kind of like started carving a little bit, started to feel what the snow felt like. Then when I hit some side hits, I like started with some straight airs, tried to get my legs to be like, okay, we're popping everything. And then I did like a backside 180. Then I did a backside 360. I didn't like just jump full head in. So a couple things you can do right before you like start the day. Get your body moving, you know, wave your arms around, do some stretches, whatever. Then test the snow, make some carves. See, is it like good snow? Like this is great snow right now. It's good to carve. It's not icy. So test the snow, see what you can do. Then take some hard cars or whatever, warm your ankles up. It's important, you use your ankles a lot with snowboarding. It's so important to warm your ankles up. And overall, just get your body ready for the hours that you're about to put it through of super fun, awesome snowboard stuff. What is Benton doing? What's your name? Hi guys. Parkour is like right behind us on the chairlift. So there's a good chance they're going to open the gate right now for the jumps. We're hoping we want like first hit on the jump. We think that'd be so sick. But while we wait, it's a great time to mention today's sticker shout out. We got the clan clover with the gold sticker on the helmet. Looking so sick. As well as we got two miles smile with the black sticker on the wood board. Looking so sick. Thank you so much for snagging the evolution sticker guys. If you guys want a sticker, they're all linked in the description as well as hoodies, t-shirts, long sleeves guys. They're all linked down below. And if you do snag any of them, tag me on Instagram and I'll give you guys gear and sticker shout outs. But also follow the Instagram guys. The stories are not only like bonus extra content because I try to make them as fun as possible, but it's where you can tell where we're riding for the day. Knowing that Breccia jumps just opened up, things like that. So follow the Instagram. There's a bunch of bonus content that you don't want to miss out on by not following the Instagram. And, uh, here we go. Okay. So first drop on Brex jumps. Can't beat that. Get ready. This is first hit guys. We've been waiting to release the beast. First hit of the season opening Brex jumps the way they should be. That was insane. The jump session has started. So those jumps are big boys, but they never, I've never felt so comfortable going into big jumps for in my life. I don't know if that's from riding all summer or if they're just built that perfect. But that was so comfortable. Let's go. Hi guys. The jumps are so fun that we're going to ride them a lot longer today. So in order to make sure we have a good day throughout the day, we're going to take a break, go inside and get some water, like reset a little bit, get ready to have like a heavy jump session. Right now. We're still like kind of feeling out the jumps. They're so good. So we're, we're really excited, but that's what we're going to do. So while we go do that, make sure you guys smash the like button. I'm just going to like, leave it right here. And when we come back, um, yeah, I'll just leave it here. So you guys can smash it. All right, guys. Thanks for smashing. Like, and with that, back to the jump. What was that? Oh, Jones. And from that one spinning that third jump was like, I can't tell you guys how good it feels to spin a 40 foot jump. I'm pretty sure it's like 20, 30, 40. I mean, a lot of it depends on how deep you take it, but landed a little high on the third jump, but I feel good guys. Kenny and Benton are going to do side-by-side backflips since the lifts are like 10 feet long. I'm pretty nervous. All right. I'm following your lead. Tell me when. Go. All right, ready? Go. I almost landed, but like you drifted in front of me. I drifted into him and flipped the other direction. So Benton did a switch backflip. Kenny did a regular backflip. You guys killed it. Yeah, I was nervous, but you got it up. I was not expecting him to go that high. All right, guys. This one's Chipmunk getting shadows in the landing. And he's going to do a double backflip. Oh my God. Oh, that was so satisfying. Perfect. That was so satisfying. I'm so hyped on that last rail. The reason why Benton was freaking out about it is I got over it like literally perfect. What an insane park day, guys. I'm hyped. That's a wrap. Last trick of the day. Bye. Back from the Big Benton. Give the boy a follow on Instagram. He also has a YouTube channel. What a sick day. This was the best day of the season. Dude, Greg is killing it this year. I'd still say it has the best snow out of all the mountains. Okay, so we had such a sick day. But I have one more tip for you guys. When you are leaving Breckenridge on the gondola, sit on my side, not Benton's. So then the sun's not in your face. Vice versa, when you show up for the day, sit on Benton's side, sun's at your back. You got to know which side of the gondola to sit at, so you're not getting blasted in the face. Or wear your goggles, either one. What a sick day, guys, though. I hope you enjoyed this video. If you did, make sure you smack that subscribe button, because our goal is to help you become the best snowboarders possible. I like to drop tips in the videos, but also, like you saw in that jump section, we like to just try to get better at snowboarding ourselves and push ourselves. Today was crucial for confidence on jumps. So I've destroyed my back on an opening day jump at Keystone. Here's the clip. And that ruined jumps for me for a long time. Actually, my back, I think, still hurts from it. I swear, I almost broke my back. So to come out, hit huge jumps, 20, 30, 40 foot jump. I would say it's pretty close to what they were. To hit those jumps, spin all three of them, and just kind of like get back into the groove, because it's true, guys. You got to get back into the groove of stuff. Like, it gets me really excited for this season. Tried to throw a seven. It was definitely squirrely, but like the body motion was there. So sevens are coming soon. Nines will come real quick. And the goal line this year, cap five, front seven, back 10. That's the mission this season now for progression. Uh-oh, guys. I forgot to pay. Oh, is it a fine? It's a fine. It's not a parking ticket aside. Today was such a sick day. I'm literally still stoked on how good of a day it was. And I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you did, once again, smash like. Subscribe if you're new. And if you want any of my snowboard gear, or the cameras we use, or how we make these videos, it's all linked in the description. That way, if you like don't know which helmet to get, what goggles to get, like at least you could start there and then maybe branch out. But yeah, all my stuff is linked in the description. And I have a couple coupon codes, like Pearl Wax, which saves you 20% off of any wax that you need or anything like that. That's all in the description. And with that, Team Alcalis, thank you so much for shredding with us today, getting a parking ticket with us today. And as always, thanks for watching. Keep evolving. We'll see you guys tomorrow with another video. He's fired, dude. He sucks.
