The Legacy of Men’s Snowboard Slopestyle: Dew Tour 20-Year Retrospective

The evolution of men’s snowboard slopestyle in the last twenty years has surpassed expectations beyond what was once thought impossible. Course design and athletes’ progression have significantly changed, and in the past, being an elite athlete meant competing in both slopestyle and superpipe. However, all that changed around 2014, when snowboarders began focusing their talent on one discipline, and slopestyle debuted on the Olympic stage at Sochi. Notable riders like Sage Kotsenburg, Torstein Horgmo, Shaun White, and a flood of international riders all rose to the occasion and laid the tracks for the next chapter of riders like Red Gerard and more mind-boggling spins. Hear from Chris Cote and Todd Richards as they run through the rich history of Dew Tour slopestyle.
