Following the success of August's Real Street contest, the first video-only contest at X Games, the "Real" series returns for its winter debut. For Real Snow, eight snowboarders submitted a 60-second exclusive video part filmed on urban terrain. The videos will be judged by a panel of industry pros. One winner who presents the best overall impression will be awarded a Winter X Games gold medal and $50,000. In addition, all the videos will be shown as part of the WX15 telecast on Jan. 29. In Aspen, all eight Real Snow athletes will come together for Snowboard Street, a jam session with a street set-up, where the medalists will be announced.
Now it's time to do your part. Each rider's segment has been set, tournament-style, in head-to-head brackets. Watch 'em throw down and determine which rider you think should advance. Winner of the fan favorite will be awarded $2,500.
So who's throwing down? Meet the riders in the inaugural Winter X Games Real Snow event here and vote for the fan favorite.
