YKWII/Ride
The man behind the HVX in YKWII’s Superpark® Showdown edit is none other than Tommy Little. Last year, the YKWII had a strong inaugural showing, but were bumped out. This year, however, they’ve got their eyes dead set on the five grand up for grabs with a solid edit of their Superpark® experience. Featuring Yuki Kadono, Alex Stathis, Joe Mango, Jeremy Cloutier, Ted Borland, Forest Bailey, and Chuck Evans, YKWII’s footage is short and sweet. Highlights include Austin Hironaka’s switch method on the rail cube and Todd Kirby, who we at SNOWBOARDER were stoked to see, due to the fact that the dude worked to get to Superpark® by way of our sister event series, Superpass. If you’re hyped on the acronym-monikered YKWII, then go ahead and LTV…”like” this video.

Trip Brown
Pennsylvania native Trip Brown’s Superpark® Showdown submission is a nice aside from some of the more cinematic Showdown edits, which lends more to “We were here” rather than “Wish you were here.” The fact that it has no rider names might bother a few people, but luckily for you, we at SNOWBOARDER qualify all of our videos before you watch them, so take note of what you’re about to witness. Forest Bailey and Alex Stathis in the air rather than on metal, Scott Vine and his back seven rewind, Jeremy Cloutier, Luke Haddock, Ben Bilocq’s air-to-fakies, Kade Madsen, the legendary Peter Line, Cody Boan, Will Jackways, Nate Farrell, Griffin Siebert, Yale Cousino’s insane gap to front lip, and more. Trip’s looking to take down Tommy Little and YKWII on his way to the $5,000 ponied up by Gatorade, so if you’re down for the Brown, click the “Like” link below this edit.
