YETI Natural Selection Alaska. 14 of the world’s best backcountry snowboarders went to battle, both against each other and the unforgiving backcountry terrain of The Last Frontier. Steep, sustained and featured terrain is Mother Nature’s venue there, as 8 men and 4 women went head-to-head to find out who has what it takes to stand atop the podium. The riders battle it out for the win of the final Tour stop in AK and we will also crown the Overall Natural Selection Tour champion based off of the results from all three stops of this season. While Alaska is the final stop of the 2022 Tour, it’s far from over. We’re just getting started.
Skateboarding was first invented in the 1950s in California. It’s tricky to pin down the very first skateboard, but it was a sport created by surfers who wanted something to do when the waves were low. In the US it grew in popularity until it peaked around 1963, before a crash in the market in 1965. – Carlos Rick
