Watch: The Florence Brothers Are Very Good At Snowboarding

Inverted rotations of a snow kind.

Last week, while perusing everyone’s fav PR platform, a clip of John John Florence doing a backflip on a snowboard slid down our feed. It was off what looked like a manmade backcountry kicker. It was small, but we colored ourselves impressed and wanted more. We reached out to Alexandra Florence aka Mom John, who accompanied the boys on a family trip to British Columbia. She sent us these few clips plucked from the depths of her iPhone. 

“These are of John, Ivan and Nathan,” Alex told Stab. “John is in the tan and black coat, Ivan’s in the red coat and brown coat and Nathan’s also in red.” 

Once off the slopes, the boys found a ramp on the road behind their cabin where they did flips and twists into the sunset. 

Those Florence’s boys sure are good at standing on boards.
