I love how Red Bull comes up with new contests all the time. Some people don't like the supernatural course, but I'm really glad they made this! So much better than seeing how many triple corks you can pull in a run. I love me some triples but this is such a good change of pace.

Gigi du bist the best snowborder olll time Love it

[Letsrideadventures]

yup sierra and we do have the tallest mountain in the lower 48. oh and the most ski areas in any one Ultra Natural is a rad concept. Need more!

[criticalend]

this might be the best contest run of all time

[AndrewT]

i bet all these guys hating have never sent a back country line in there life. You know how gnarly it is Eyeing up a drop you've never seen before. These guys all slayed it! The big jump at the bottom is just for fun the legit stuff happens up top!

Me and my son lived in The Rocky Moutains for awhile. West Yellowstone, MT.

[wontbnone]

its not about the technicality of his tricks. he had such style all the way through the run, i think he deserved it. that back 3 was

[johnnybrsco]

that's what snowboarding is all about: he's just having lot's of fun. no pressure, no trible-corks, just playing around and float down there fuckin' smooth..yeah gigi!

[RawrThinkFast]

Honestly that run was pretty clean, I don't know why everyone thinks he didn't deserve first...

[assaultedpeanut]

Ultra natural.

Features several man-made jumps.

[SuperStrangeLoop]

The reason he was not dinged much, if any, for the fall was because it was a fault of the man-made feature to not account for a huge ass jump. Essentially he ran right into a wall when he landed. His reaction after he falls tells it all. This guy has got steez and threw down some crazy lines. Mirror neurons were acting in my brain while watching this, I would love to be shredding right now!

[ThatBeansDude]

Heres why this contest rules, the winner took a half fall and was still able to pull a solid rest of the run. Do that in the x-games or dew tour and you can say goodbye to top 5.
This contest really nails the faults of the current competitive circuit

[willmcdermott]

most ski areas in one state... because of the size... Not ragging on your state but you have an advantage compared to colorado, utah, and especially vermont.

[Samarmy]

I'm doing one by the end of the season, I'll post it

[MrJeddo]

Yeah they do its just black type runs are the hardest, there are blue, yellow and others

[jackbrw]

says the guy with the name fuzzyninjagamer

its not about the difficulty of the hill, its about the performance and the difficulty of the maneuvers.

[mattwalter]

Gigi's run was sick dont get me wrong but I agree I think Nicolas should have taken first... his run was flawless

[DevinWiles]

That back 180 was terrifying. He must have been 30 feet into the landing.

[philnizz]

great speed by gigi doing his run. but i still prefer nico's run! congrats to both of you!

[zuplop]

i do. but i just value a clean, well linked run than one where he takes everything too fast and over-clears. last year, rüf looked unbelievable until he knuckled. even if he doesn't go as huge, I still respected that run over this year. that's just my opinion
