In seasons past we have witnessed Ethan Deiss and Zak Hale do just about every wallride and redirect known to snowboarding, and that was cool. This year however, we’re seeing a bit of a departure from that. The features that Ethan tackled last year accentuated his smooth, skate-like influence as he linked tricks together for a truly remarkable performance, while Zak continued to develop his style at spots most would gawk at. Technicality with proven tricks throughout the whole video from Ethan and Zak has landed the first part of Burton Presents 2016 in our bookmarked videos.

This segment features two of snowboarding’s most adept rail technicians picking apart urban landscapes from the Midwest to far off lands including Japan, Russia, and Bosnia. Zak Hale defines style with proper, fluid tricks on tech features, while his partner in crime, Ethan Deiss, seems to have the most fun of anyone as he puts down one hammer after another.
