Watch Snowboarder Chloe Kim Win 2017 Burton Women's Open Halfpipe Tournament | Features | Refinery29
Snowboarder Chloe Kim is only 16-years-old but already has her second wind.
Some call her a prodigy, some call her the golden one, but what we really should be calling her is the now of snowboarding. This woman is truly an epic athlete and a complete inspiration to young, female snowboarders. She told us about her training regimen, what it's like to spin in mid-air and her goals for the future.
Not only is Chloe Kim is the first female snowboarder to perform back-to-back 1080s, she won her first U.S. Open at 15. We followed snowboarder Chloe Kim to Vail, Colorado to watch her compete in the 2017 Burton Women's Open Halfpipe Tournament.

Only just learned of this girl (I don't follow winter sports at all until the Olympics come along). She's so rad. Very exciting to watch!
She is amazing! I tried a half pipe once and went half way up the wall and I was like"NOPE" and rode straight down the middle lol
- - i searched youtube in hopes of learning how to snowboard.. but this video just made me give up lol
She's younger than me but I still look up to her haha
She's younger than all of us at R29 and she is still our hero!
givesmelight can totally relate to you. Haha
well that was badass.
RIGHT!
And she's kicking ass in the Olympics!
Totally different world over here cos you need to have come from a filthy rich family to have been at the slopes regularly from a young age to turn pro. You can tell her parents are like this filthy rich asians like that show what is it Filthy Rich Asians like oh my god there's poor people over there don't look them in the eyes they'll take it as a sign of aggression a challenge to their territory the dominant male will want to fight!
More of this!
she is amazing.
I freaking looooove her!!!
GIRL POWER, wow. lol
I hope that she will win gold medal in Pyeongchang south korea in 2018.
y.j kim She won!
Week start Fields
Cool.
I really hope she'll qualify for Pyeongchang! She'll be able to board in her parents home country! Ahh!!
She's in
she dont got no fuckin pride for her parents home country tho
Yea she so completely white washed.. really sad that she has no pride in her heritage
Ja Y Who gives a shit? Lmao she got far without giving a shit about that useless place
Ja Y How do u know she has no pride in her heritage? Did she actually say it or are there some clues?
God I Love Her!
I want to do a half pipe but we don’t have any where i snowboard
She should write a book
Chloe is the PR agent's dream
the editing was weird
Spraying champagne but still not old enough to drink them
Wait she didn't qualify for Olympics due too age but an 11 year old is doing snowboarding at 2020 Tokyo guess the Olympics realises that the youth hold the extreme talent
Cross out the word "Could" and replace with "Became"!
I have her skin in fortnite
Ur not Shaun white
shes on roids
pumpkin moon face is pretty good ...
Really? I heard 503 rat pies at the same time was the best, especially when you have it behind bars :)
I hate this
