Everyone has looked down from the highest point of a chairlift and thought, “Damn, it would suck to fall from up here.” We were directed to this video from Twitter, and we have to say that this is gnarly. Explained in a video posted by the individual that recorded the original clip, his friend was attempting to throw a snowball and slipped off the chair, leaving him hanging for 2–3 minutes.

Not even of age for a driving permit, Chloe Kim has become the youngest Winter X Games gold medalist at only 14-years-old. After taking a gnarly slam during practice, Chloe came from the second place position to take the lead from 13-time medalist Kelly Clark on her third and final run of the night. For women’s halfpipe riding, this is a huge testament to the level of skill that these ladies are bringing to competition.

Snowboarding seems to have reached a juncture where spins are pitted against style, park versus powder. While this may be true, Brendan and Red Gerard are proving that in this age the lines are increasingly blurred and while strapping in may be different for some, for these two, its just snowboarding. At 23 years old, Brendan Gerard rides faster and parties harder than most people even on their best day, nothing held back, no shits given.
