Adidas Snowboarding made a grand entrance to the industry a few weeks back with the release of the “Welcome” Documentary series. First up, an incredible edit from backcountry shred Jake Blauvelt, this is the second in the series and features one of the most progressive rail riders in the game, Forest Bailey. Forest’s snowboarding has blown minds for so long that you would be forgiven for thinking he is pushing thirty, turns out he’s only 22.

Here is their introduction:

There are few people on this planet that have more fun on their snowboard than Forest Bailey, and anyone who has ever witnessed what Forest does when he’s strapped in will tell you that it directly translates in his riding. Being raised by two Deadhead hippie parents in small-town Vermont gave Forest a very introspective outlook on life and when he found snowboarding, he utilized his unguarded disposition to carve out a spot for himself in snowboarding’s professional ranks. Currently, Forest is one of the most popular snowboarders in the world, as his style is contrastingly flawless and relatable at the same time, and as he gets older his temperament only becomes more laid back because Forest is beginning to understand why and how this all happened, and that’s because he chose to simply have fun riding a snowboard. Re-introduce yourself to Forest Bailey with this WELCOME, as he embarks on a whole new phase in his snowboard career.

“I am influenced by everything around me. Whether that’s good snowboarders with good style, or my family, friends, musicians, artists, photographers, videographers. I try and keep an open mind so I can continue to gain knowledge about all of these different things. I am so lucky to know hundreds of truly talented humans, so I try and learn from all the people I’m surrounded by.” Forest Bailey
