The GNARLIEST Drop-in !! - Snowbird's Elevator Shaft

What are we looking at right now boys? Elevator shaft. It's way steeper than it looks. And that little channel right there is about 2 feet wide. No, it's like 3. Maybe 3. Either way, you're not making any turns through there. You gotta point it all the way through. I'm going. You're going? Alright, alright. You got it, bro. Woo! You ready, boys? Woo! What's up? Born ready, man. Born ready? All ready to go, man. Oh, shoot. Look who it is. What's up, Art? Yo. Are you walking outside right now? Pretty much, yeah. If you can wait like 3 minutes, I'll be ready. 3 or 4. 3 minutes? Hell yeah, dude. Yeah. Sweet. Sick. Let's do it. Alright. Riding with our buddy, Brian. The first time ever. Hell yeah, man. We've been talking about it for like 2 years. I'm excited, man. I'm so excited. So excited. Woo! First chair, boys! First chair. Well, maybe second if we want to ride with Brian. But, yeah. Oh, yeah. We just got on it. Brian, you're going to have to wait for us to go. So, let's get that on camera. Sorry, what's your name again? I'm Alan. Alan here volunteered to give us first chair so we can get the footy for you guys. Even though he got here before we did. What a legend. Alright. Yo, yo. Dan's GoPro. What's up? Dan's GoPro. That's your new name, guys. Guys, we got a real early start today. I've been up since 4. They were doing some abbey work this morning. Snowbird had 18 inches in the past 24 hours. They're claiming 10 overnight. It's a little more than that. It's 11 overnight at minimum. Yeah. I think so. So, yeah. There's going to be a road closure. In fact, the road's probably still closed. So, to beat the road closure, we came up real early. So, we've been killing time. Got a fresh wax on the board. Almost everybody did a fresh wax on their boards. Now, we're just waiting for first chair. I just got the road open text. Oh, yeah? The road's open? I just got the text. I don't know if that... They could have opened a while ago. Maybe. It was still worth it just to get on the first chair. We've got a squad today. Look at this. It's a pretty good squad. Let's try to keep it to this for a while. Beautiful. Oh, if it gets too big, I'll just run away. Yeah. Stopping and waiting for everybody. One chair group. That's as much as I like. Yeah. We'll keep it going. I mean, unless it's a low-key day, then I don't mind hanging out with a bunch of people. It doesn't necessarily feel like a low-key morning, at least. It is not a low-key morning. It's going to be a very high-key morning. Depending on how I'm feeling, I really just want a straight line through Elevator Shaft. It could be a day for that. I've been looking at it all year. It could, man. But it's pretty exposed. It's like that one thing that's in the Forbidden Zone that's pretty doable. I mean, there's a few other spots in the Forbidden Zone. They're intense. Yeah, they're intense and they're not really good yet. Look, they've already cut through Skid Series. Dude, this is going to be a day. Yeah, dude. Oh, yeah. I just love how there's nothing but empty chairs in front of us. And nothing but full chairs. I don't think I've ever got a first chair like this. You see that? Alright, guys. We're going to try to drop down to the little cloud. Whoa! Woo! Yeah, buddy! Yeah! Yes! Nice! What's up, man? What's up, brother? Yo, keep the line that goes all the way out because that's for me. Yeah, man. Unlikely. It's pretty good out there. Nice. That's what we're talking about. Woo! Get it, get it! Woo! Give me a you! Woo! Yeah! Hell yeah, dude. Alright, let's drop in. Here we go. Yeah, boys. Oh, man. I cannot believe that. Let's go get some more. Keep going. What do you have to say? Ready for an amazing day. I hope you guys are, too. Oh, dude. This is going to be pretty damn awesome. What do you have to say, Brian? Dude, we were born ready for this, man. Where are you? Are you about to send it? Hey, I just don't want to send it before I'm ready. Don't worry, yeah. Okay, you ready? Yeah. Three, two, one, drop. Yeah! Woo! Did you hear that tap? I did! Dropping in three, two, one. Oh! A little too heavy on the heels, guys. That was super fun. Super soft landing, though. So, guys, the Cirque just opened. And Ari's eyeing up Elevator. It's called Elevator because it's pretty much straight down. My legs feel really weak right now. You got to point it. It's like, what? Two feet wide? Maybe three feet wide? I think I'm going to pass on this one right now. Especially with that shark fin right there. I mean, worst case, I'd tear the board off. As long as I make it straight. I kind of want to start just like two feet down. That sketch, yeah. I'd love to see it, Ari. I know you got the skills to do it, for sure. You do. Getting space, boys. Oh, man. I'm getting nervous again. Hold on. I can't breathe. Dude, take some deep breaths. Take some deep breaths, bro. You don't have to do it, okay? No pressure, man. There's no pressure, dude. No, I know. I know. Yeah. It's a good day for it. I was expecting narrow, but I actually wasn't expecting that. It's pretty narrow, yeah. You got to point it the whole way through. I'm going. You're going? All right, Ari. You got it, bro. Yeah! So sick! Ari, hell yeah! Guys, this is like straight down. Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah. Yeah! Dude! That was killer. So sick. Yeah, bud! Oh! Monster! Guys are grabbing a little midday snack. Got a fresh slice, courtesy of Brian here, hooking it up. Oh, we need it. We need it, man. We've been riding hard all day. For the vlog. Give a little bit of fuel. This is my contribution. Oh, yeah. Sam Coke Pizza. That's where it's at. You need to say hi to the fans out there. How's it going? What's up? Cory, right? Cory, yep. Sick. Dan's the goat, man. Cory, tell everybody a little bit of your story. Yeah, man. So I came from Oregon. I came out here in the summer to do door-to-door sales. Didn't end up going as planned. Ended up kind of getting money kind of stolen from me. Damn. At a point, I was homeless, kind of. So my friend met this girl and my boyfriend plays tennis with the HR director here. Huh. So he got me a job here. Oh, cool. So now I'm living the dream, man. Thank you. Tough snow, nothing like it. Yeah, Cory's a lifty here, so. Caribbean. Come say what's up. Yeah. Awesome. We're going to grab a couple laps. Heck yeah. Yeah. Are you guys working? Nope. I'm a friend. Nice. We're working, all right. We are working, all right. Say hi, Stevie. All right, you want some of this? I don't want it. I don't want pizza, sorry. We're striving. Hey, family. How's it going? Good, good, good. Meeting up with the boys? Yeah, we got a whole crew, guys. It's not a crew crew. No. We're chill. For like a foggy, like windy day, a baldy, it's a pretty big crew. It's a pretty good crew. Yeah. You're not supposed to look at the camera, are you? It's not as badass. I'm sorry. I'm just kidding. All right, I think I can get the shot from here. I'm ready. Here we go. Yeah, bud. Yeah, Stevie. Yeah. Look at these jumpers. Yeah, bud. Woo. Yeah. Great. So close. Woo. Hey, guys. We're back at the apartment, finishing up the edit, and I just want to let you all know there's still a chance to win my giveaways. If you want to win one of these awesome Board Progression hats or a bunch of other goodies, head over to my previous video and leave a comment down below that says, or share any of my videos on social media and send a screenshot of that share to boardprogression at gmail.com. So far, I only have a handful of emails, guys, and that's your best chance of winning because you can do that as many times as you want. You have until January 12th, so share some videos, guys. I hope you guys enjoyed this video at Snowbird. It was an epic day. A huge shout out to Ari. Ari really manned up and took one of the gnarliest drop-ins I've seen at Elevator Shaft. A huge shout out to Brian today, too. It was awesome riding with him. He doesn't get to ride that much. He works a lot. So seeing him shred as much as he did was just awesome. Brian, if you're watching, we gotta make it happen again, man. It was really cool meeting up with Corey, Anthony, and Stevie later on in the day. Corey, respect to you for just chucking those backies, man. That was awesome. Anthony, we only got like one lap in, I think, but I know there's more to come. Can't wait to ride with you again, dude. And Stevie, sorry we didn't get more footage of you, but you were ripping down center of gravity, so that was pretty sick. And my boy Alex. It's been so sick shredding with him all season, and he's gotten so many sick shots for you guys. So, huge shout out to Alex. The guy is getting better with follow cams every single time we ride, and he's just getting better as a rider every time he rides, too. He's just killing it. All in all, an amazing day, guys. I hope you enjoyed watching it. Some of you have been asking me how come I'm not riding Brighton anymore. Well, don't worry. Brighton footage is coming. I haven't been there in a minute, but don't worry. I still love Brighton. I just have a lot more homies at Snowbird. So on a pow day, it's tempting to just jump over to Snowbird. Alex and I are hitting up Woodward again soon, so stay tuned for that video. We're gonna do all the indoor stuff that we didn't get to do on the grand opening weekend. So stay tuned for that video. That's coming out real soon as well. Guys, I hope you are enjoying your new year. Mine's off to a good start. I hope you're progressing in anything and everything that you're doing. As always, leave a like, comment down below. I'll try to respond to every comment I can. Hit that subscribe button and the notification bell, and you guys will be notified very soon when the next video drops. Take care, guys. See you soon. Peace. Get close.
