MEGAN OLDHAM

Long before Megan Oldham made history at X Games Aspen 2023, she was just a kid from the cold flatlands of Ontario. A very motivated kid. The Oldhams’ garage roof didn’t just protect cars through harsh winters, it also served as a literal launchpad. The snowy yard below became her training ground, where she and her older brother, Bruce, crafted a makeshift terrain park with whatever they could find. It wasn’t elaborate, but it was theirs. A scrappy setup where every jump was a leap of faith...

RED GERARD

Red Gerard’s long wait for X Games glory finally ended at XG Aspen 2024. After eight largely frustrating years, Gerard logged three great scores on his way to Slopestyle gold. “The word ‘relief’ comes to mind,” Red says. “I’m really hoping to lock in another one.” Though he’d won just about everything else in snowboarding -- 2018 Olympic gold, four World Cups, two Dew Tour titles, a US Open -- an X Games victory had proved elusive.

He’s about pushing boundaries -- his own, the sport’s and maybe even gravity’s. Hall is the only person to earn X Games gold in four different Ski disciplines: Slopestyle, Big Air, Knuckle Huck and Real Ski. He also owns Olympic slopestyle gold from the 2022 Winter Olympics. Some with that resume would have an ego the size of Aspen, but Hall is cooler than that. He’s not about flaunting what he’s done; he’s about what’s next...

Kokomo Murase

Kokomo Murase is ready to make more history at X Games Aspen 2025. Ready to defend her gold medals in Snowboard Big Air and Knuckle Huck. Ready to upgrade her Aspen 2025 Slopestyle silver and become the first woman with three gold at a single X Games. But first she’s planning to take a brief pause. The week before X Games, she’ll don a traditional long-sleeved furisode winter kimono for the Seijin-shiki ceremony to commemorate Seijin-no-hi, the Japanese Coming-of-Age Day...
