Pull up a seat and get ready for a history lesson in radness with this full replay of the first-ever World Extreme Skiing Championship (WESC) in Valdez, Alaska, way back in 1992. Super aggressive sends on straight skis with a distinct lack of helmets (aka totally nuts). These athletes laid the groundwork for modern day competitive big mountain freeriding and we salute them for it. Cheers!
