Watch: 16-Year-Old Pro Executes Jaw-Dropping Backcountry Air

Born in the year 2005, Valentino Guseli finds himself in a situation reminiscent of his idols like Scotty James. James, who represented Australia and carried their flag during the Opening Ceremony of the PyeongChang Olympic event. The young athlete as he forges his own path. One of his remarkable achievements includes surpassing the achievements of the five-time Olympian and three-time gold medal winner White.

Remarkably, on the eve of his 16th birthday in 2021, Guseli managed to break Shaun White's world record for achieving the highest air out of a halfpipe. This record-breaking feat of reaching 7.3 meters was accomplished during his participation in the Laax competition. As a testament to how big valentino can go outside of a manicured half pipe, check out this clip of an absolutely massive air in the backcountry.

This absolutely incredible clip was just posted by Valentino on youtube, as it recaps 5 days spent with the young Aussie last winter. Valentino seems to have posted the clip lamenting the fact that it has been a slow start to the southern hemisphere winter.
