11 tricks with Denis Leontyev

Now we don’t know about you guys but when we’re off our snowboards for a few months it usually takes us the best part of a week to start feeling comfortable hitting rails again. Not the case for Russian jib prodigy Denis Leontyev, who after losing a considerable chunk of 2012 to ACL surgery and recovery, filmed this edit at Windells summer camp on the first day back on his snowboard. These 11 tricks, including more 270 and 360 (on and off) variations than most would stomp in an entire season, are Denis’ equivalents to our tentative warm-up boardslides. The kid is a beast.
