There’s only nine days until the inaugural Natural Selection Tour launches and there is still one spot left for the men and women to rip it up.
To fill that spot, Red Bull and Natural Selection open Wild Card and People’s Choice contests today at www.redbull.com/NSTwildcard.
Check out the Wild Card entrants below who will be joining this stacked lineup of competitors in Jackson Hole for stop one across February 3-9. Elias Elhardt, Ben Ferguson, Sage Kotsenburg, Nils Mindnich, Mark McMorris, Chris Rasman, Travis Rice, Gigi Rüf, Mikkel Bang, Hana Beaman, Victor de La Rue, Anna Gasser, Eric Jackson, Hailey Langland, Pat Moore, Blake Paul, Werni Stock, Austen Sweetin, Jamie Anderson, Marion Haerty, Elena Hight and Robin Van Gyn.
That leaves two spots up for grabs with a final male and female rider able to receive an official Natural Selection Tour invite from the Tour’s Nomination Committee and Red Bull.
Snowboarding icons including Jake Blauvelt, Manuel Diaz, Danny Davis, Yuka Fujimori, John Jackson, Sammy Luebke, Bode Miller, Mary Rand, Jason Robinson, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott and Stale Sandbech have submitted one-minute montages of their best backcountry freestyle riding to prove why the final men’s and women’s spots should be theirs based on progression, creativity, line choice, style, energy, and overall impression.
We would love to see New Zealand’s own Zoi Sadowski-Synnott as the female wild card…showcasing an impressive bag of tricks and freeriding ability. She’s our pick for the females. Click here to vote for Zoi now.
As for the men…that’s a tough call. That’s a stack list of the best freeriders in the world…who would you pick?
The event window as mentioned above is kicking off on the 3rd of February and you can watch the whole thing live right here!
Stay tuned as we’ll keep you in the loop on more details and timings around when things kick off!
