"The Natural Selection Tour is the brainchild of Travis Rice, one of the world's most prominent snowboarders and one of the major pioneers in the discipline known as Big Mountain Freestyle."
"Freeride takes place off-piste, often in the backcountry, usually in steep, cliffy, rugged faces, while freestyle is what you see at the X Games and Olympics."
"Big Mountain Freestyle is the unholy union between the two disciplines, where riders must navigate top to bottom with speed and fluidity, hucking the biggest, most technically sound tricks."
The Natural Selection Tour, created by Travis Rice, features Big Mountain Freestyle snowboarding in the challenging terrain of Montana Bowl, Revelstoke. This discipline combines freeride and freestyle elements, requiring riders to navigate steep, rugged landscapes while performing technical tricks. The event highlights the dangers of backcountry snowboarding, including cliffs and potential avalanches. Unlike traditional freestyle events held in ski resorts, this competition emphasizes natural terrain and the skills needed to ride it safely and effectively.
