Featured Picture: Peter Brown | Skier: Bobby Brown
Bobby Brown has been on the sideline for a few years. For somebody who has X Video games medals, world’s firsts and numerous different accolades below their belt, that is definitely not the norm. After a debilitating again harm at Saas-Payment in 2021, the legendary freestyle skier was left with an extremely powerful path forward… and that is perhaps an understatement. However accidents tend to make or break an individual, as cliche as that sounds. In a literal and metaphorical approach, they’ll set you again or they’ll ship a brand new perspective, one which doubtless would have by no means been seen within the first place.
For Brown, the harm three years in the past has confirmed to be a turning level. He’s very open in regards to the struggles he’s since endured, and in addition about the truth that these very struggles have led him to a brand new place of gratitude and success. Now, his profession appears to be extra diversified than ever, engaged on the exceptional Crimson Bull Cascade contest, shepherding younger riders by way of his work with The Dean’s Record and even pointing his consideration in the direction of one other movie piece in 2025.
His new film “White Gold” stands as a testomony to this relentless dedication. The undertaking is 5 minutes of no-filler-all-action snowboarding with unbelievable photographs captured close to his dwelling in Telluride, Colorado. Every function appears to someway dwarf the final. (Critically, take a look at the preliminary highway hole section. See any crashes?) The movie crew, consisting of Amon Barker, Peter Brown, Griffin Glendinning, Brett Schreckngost and Cedar Palmer, deserves excessive reward for his or her capability to painting these options of their true grandiose. We’re fired as much as see Brown and buddies persevering with to lift the bar. Freeskiing is all the higher due to it.
