これは劇ヤバだ!ベアーマウンテンで開催されたスーパーキッズのイベント『Supergroms』で、アメリカのジュニア層(主に12歳、13歳)が、とんでもない実力者ぶりを見せた。
このエイジよりもさらに若い世代は、見たものを最も吸収する力があると言われているゴールデンエイジ。この子たちは、アメリカの良いパーク環境の下、大きな成長を遂げたようだ。
このキッズ・ライダーたちの実力ぶりには、本当に驚かされる。
アメリカは凄いことになっているぞ。
Snowboardermag’s 2013 Launch "Supergroms" Edit from Snowboarder Magazine on Vimeo.
Once again The Launch proved itself to be the most important event in snowboarding for showcasing up and coming talent. The level of riding that went down at Bear was all time with some seriously next level tricks going down at an almost minute by minute basis. One of the most impressive things about this year’s Launch however was how hard the younger crew pushed things, not content to just lap the public park and jib the sides of the jumps, this year’s Supergrom crew packed up and snaked their way into sessions along side the older crew on the hips, jibs and big jumps. While a lot of older kids sat down or found reasons not to hit things the younger squad led by Red Gerard, Cody Warble, Gabe Ferguson, and Brock Crouch had the time of their lives at Bear riding everything and often times packing up and hitting everything together. We dubbed them the "Supergroms" and as you watch this try to think just what you were doing at 12 years old.
