“This year’s course was a little rough, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen worse at the LBS! There was a little of everything from top to bottom… from blue ice to sloppy slush, and it was snowing by the time we took our final runs. I felt pretty lucky to make it down without getting chewed up by any of those turns, and it was nice to finally get some more duct tape, it’s been a while.”-Barrett Christy

He showed up to Aspen just one hour before Thursday’s elimination round fresh off two weeks of riding powder at Mt. Baker. The Vermonter’s skate influenced take on snowboarding is decidedly un-kosher. He rides hard, wins contests (even X Games!), wears sweaters, is salty and has achieved supreme balance through asymmetry. Congrats Forest!!

“I can’t believe this,” said an overwhelmed Bailey. “I never thought I would come to X Games let alone win a medal. X Games 2012 was sick; the setup was awesome and the crowd was awesome.”

Bailey’s total score of 88 was five points better than Minnesota’s Ryan Paul, who finished with 83 points and the silver. Truckee, California’s Nick Visconti’s score of 76 earned him the bronze.

Returning for a second year, the Snowboard Street contest features 10 of the world’s best street athletes putting their skills to the test on urban-inspired terrain features. Athletes are judged on aggressive execution of maneuvers, degree of difficulty of maneuvers, variety of maneuvers, originality and style.

“I took this photo of Forest Bailey, who I had just met a few days prior while here in Aspen, Colorado filming for Givin Vids ‘One’ last November. I’m most def a Forest fan. Not just because of his riding skills but more a fan of his character. While sessioning another spot we found this rail-to-roof drop on a hotel property and quickly got to the set up. It was dumping this day so we had plenty of snow to work with. As we were finalizing speed bumps a property management plow came through and shut down the black op. No worries: if you don’t succeed, try again, right? Another attempt in the afternoon and we were busted yet again. Arggh! Later that night while talking about kicking adversity in the mouth we decided to get that rail first thing in the morning. We awoke to cold bluebird conditions and Jedi’d this shot of smooth tittied back tail. Coincidentally, the guy who lived in this apartment (the door that opens bottom left in this shot) came out and was stoked on the sesh.” – Zach Hooper
