Will Jackways nails yet another cover (his 4th) in Washington powder. “Essence” has Ben ‘Ferret’ Vercauteren, Nick Brown, and Shelly Gotlieb. Jimmy Edwards executes a frontside 720 in “Trick Tip”, and Nick Hyne questions priorities in “Hynesight”. We catch up with the OG of NZ freestyle Tony Woolston in “Revisited”, and “Spot Check” goes to Kurodake in Japan. Shane Orchard brings us the goods in his story “Canterbury Fires Up!” and Dylan Butt puts together a must-do shred list with “Before You Go”. Nick Hyne and friends visit Greg Roebuck in “Washington State of Mind”, scoring big time. “Ropes and Nutcrackers” looks at the premier club fields around Canterbury, covering the pros and cons of each. To compliment this “Inside Line” looks at the big five commercial resorts of the Southern Lakes area. “Inside” takes an in depth look at the history of halfpipes at Cardrona and where it’s all ended up. “Fast Forward” finishes it off with Stefi Luxton and Jaden Beange.
