Alex Hackel is a 2x X-Games medalist skier and co-founder of 1000skis. He’s best known for landing sweet nose butter 306s and making some top-notch content for his YouTube channel. Typically that’s done on snow, but in this video, he takes his skills to several different surfaces.
Hackel skis a few surfaces known to be common alternatives to snow, like water and fake snow, but he also tested out his skills on some sand, grass, and pavement, all in an attempt to impress his dad.
It’s pretty obvious that the actual snow alternative would be the best surface other than snow, but it’s cool to see how well he can shred on sand, grass, and water, even though he did have a few tough moments.
