Eli
Bouchard

Eli Bouchard makes his X Games debut in 2026 and could be bringing 5 or more tricks never seen at X Games, a constant innovator more interested in making his own way than keeping pace with what others are up to. Watch for signature moves that will challenge the way you think about the physics of snowboarding, like his Bouch bomb, McBouch, triple moose flip, and wild dog flip. Or, you know, some other crazy thing that only exists in his mind, maybe not even there. “I’m not even too sure what’s happening with the physics of some of these tricks, they’re just products of trying a bunch of stuff and eating a lot of snow over and over again until something works out.” It’s been working out: Eli won the World Cup Aspen event in February 2025 and has been popping up in slopestyle podiums at events including RSEO Breckenridge and the 2024 Youth Olympics.
