If there were any skepticism surrounding the talent of Ben Ferguson, it is officially gone after watching this footage in Pat Moore: Blueprint. So it’s your first trip to Alaska, you’re riding alongside Pat Moore and John Jackson, two riders that go nothing less than huge, and you send the biggest backcountry jump of your life switch, first try. Not only that, but putting the landing gear on a flawless back 180 method… It’s mental. Ben Ferguson, you’re mental. With any luck, this is going to open a whole new chapter of progression in Ben snowboarding, a chapter that we are unexplainably excited about. Way to end the season on a high note gentlemen, this was all-time.

From Red Bull via YouTube:

After scoring all time conditions in Valdez Alaska, Pat rips to the northern end of the Chugatch range for one last heli mission before calling it a season. Pat calls long time friend John Jackson to help lead the way as they show one of snowboarding’s most exciting young talents, Ben Ferguson, the ropes of filming in AK. Ben’s natural talent and fearless approach shown in contest, proves to be a perfect combination for the Alaskan backcountry, and the massive hip that awaits. Ben stokes the fire and sets off the final session of the year by opening up their mega back country hip jump with a laid out switch backside 180 method. Needless to say the boys answer back and close out the season with tricks in the bag and smiles on their faces.
