The Inertia

Back in 2020, snowboarder Sebastien Toutant started filming parkour and trick shots at home. The videos gained some traction among his social media following and the bit began to grow from there. Two years later, he upped the ante and took his viral homemade tricks to the park and designed an entire run where his trick shots, snowboarding, and parkour would all crossover. Now, five years after it all started with those at-home trick shot videos, “Toots” has another impressive and fun obstacle course video.

The newest version includes 22 features (matching the number from his 2022 viral video), but this one incorporates 10 different sports, including an (American) football field goal, a hockey slap shot, a no-look basketball shot, and a golf chip shot, among others. And similar to the 2022 video, the objective was for Toutant to knock it all out in one take. A press release from Red Bull didn’t clarify how many tries it took before he got the whole thing right, but no doubt everybody was relieved when Toutant didn’t skull that last chip shot and send it straight down to the main lodge instead of toward the pin.

“This was definitely one of the craziest and most creative runs I’ve done on my snowboard. I’ve constantly been trying to up my game and think of new creative ways to ride on a snowboard. Even though I’m a pro snowboarder, I love playing all kinds of different sports, so being able to bring them to the snow was something I’ve always wanted to do. Finishing with a golf shot was tough, but it’s one of my favorites,” Toutant said.
