Nixon Jibfest Episode 3 Video
The third episode of Nixon’s behind-the-scenes series of the 2011 JibFest is now available to watch on Vice.com’s online snow series, Powder & Rails.
Episodes one and two took a look back at the pioneers who lead the charge in the early days of the jibbing revolution and how it has progressed from then until present day. Original Nixon snow team riders and JibFest creators JP Walker, Jeremy Jones and Dave Downing play host to three generations of snowboarders who have all influenced each other as they ride, jib and get radical on the biggest custom courses the JibFest has ever witnessed.
In the final episode, you get introduced to the "wheels of death", a game that consists of JibFest invitees spinning two wheels. One of the wheels has tricks labeled on it. The other one determines what obstacle the trick must be done on. The wheels can come up with some terrifying combinations, but it sometimes also serves as motivation by throwing a bunch of hundred dollar bills into the mix for people who land the tricks.
Further along in the episode, Snow Park Technologies’ Chris “Gunny” Gunnarson and his crew walk us through the history of many features they created that are now considered stock at most snowboard parks. And as we learn, having input from riders like JP Walker, Jeremy Jones, and Dave Downing probably didn't hurt in the creation process. Near the end of the show watch as we see how the JibFest voting process goes down for “Best Trick” and first, second and third place.
Riders: JP Walker, Jeremy Jones, Dave Downing, Alex Andrews, Brian Thien, Chris Grenier, Eman Andersen, John Kooley, Louif Paradis, Seth Huot, Simon Chamberlain, and Zak Hale
