YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn the final part of The Nixon JibFest series, we get into the "wheel of death" game. (We don't know if that's actually what it's called, but it sounds cooler that way.) This game consists of the riders spinning two wheels. One of the wheels has tricks labeled on it. The other determines what obstacle the trick must be done on. The wheel can come up with some terrifying combinations, but it sometimes also serves as motivation by throwing a bunch of hundred dollar bills into the mix for people who land the tricks.
Afterwards, we get to nerd out on the history of how Chris Gunnarson and his crew at Snow Park Technologies invented many of the features now considered stock at most snowboard parks. As we learn, having input from riders like JP Walker, Jeremy Jones, and Dave Downing probably didn't hurt. Near the end of this part, we see how the voting process goes down: just scribble some names on a scrap piece of paper and whoever has the most votes gets a cool prize. First, second, and third place are up for grabs, as is "Best Trick." We get to see who walks away with the prizes, and then end the JibFest series the way we think all episodes should end from here on out: with dudes burning a bunch of stuff.
