Well the ski seasons over and both the riding and filming have begun to slow down a bit, so it's been a while since we had one of these. Honestly, I kind of thought we were done with the whole "Rider of the Week" business but during our last trip to Cooke one rider stood out that we just couldn't ignore.
His name is Nate Falconer and he hales form Helena, Montana and until this last trip we never really noticed how well the kid could ride. We had seen him at a few comps, killing rails with the best of 'em, so we knew the talent was there but who would have known the kid could jump? Sure enough, hitting his first ever BC pow jump, Nate threw down Front Cork 7 Tail, Back 7 Nose (pictured above), and came inches from stomping Front Dub Cork 10 first try! It didn't stop there, Nate continued to get shots as we moved to the next spot and all but owned the trip as far as riding was concerned. Next BC trip we make, we will definitely be bringing this kid along.
So big ups to Nate Falconer for stepping up and throwing down in Cooke! Next time you're in Bozeman we'll have a case of Monster and a big 'ol TSP tall tee waitin ya dawg. And, since we've got this thing goin again, I kinda wonder who the next rider of the week should be? Any suggestions? Ridings not quite over, Beartooths are still waitin for shred. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if anyone else steps up.
