At Natural Selection Tour's Revelstoke stop, Nils Mindnich landed a crazy switch back side 720 from his second run of the day.

This is a very hard trick to do at all, let alone on this backcountry freestyle course. Insane! Nils confesses his strategy in this interview from The Bomb Hole Group Chat episode, and it seems that his thoughts were one track minded, eye on the prize, with the switch back 720. He tells us he did a 720 almost every time he went snowboarding this year, and if not every time, then at least 20 times. The secret sauce... he landed every single one! Talk about accuracy.

A little bit about Nils Mindnich: Nils was born in the quaint ski town of Stowe, Vermont, where his love for the outdoors blossomed into a passion for snowboarding. His snowboarding talent shone early, and by the age of 14, Nils was already making waves in various competitions, prompting him to enroll at the Winter Sports School in Park City, Utah. After graduating, Nils turned pro with Salomon, launching his professional snowboarding career. Despite his intense focus on the sport, Nils managed to earn a bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of Utah.
