Capita Kevin Backstrom Mercury

DESCRIPTION

Globally known as one of the smoothest operators on snow over the last decade, Kevin Backstrom’s riding style is what riders everywhere dream of unlocking each winter. Progressing from a slopestyle past, Kevin has been a creative self-starter, launching the Beyond Medals film series, which has delivered must-see shred entertainment year after year. In these films, he's taken fans along for the ride, showing that a stripped-down, simple, and stylish approach to moving down a mountain is nothing short of a work of art.

As his riding has gravitated toward an all-mountain and powder approach over the last decade, Kevin has made the Mercury his go-to choice of snowboards for smooth, stylish airtime and seemingly e ortless float while landing.

In honor of Kevin, and as he embarks on shooting his tenth Beyond Medals film, we're proud to present this limited-edition Kevin Backstrom Mercury — your chance to emulate his legendary all-mountain snowboarding.
