Adam Koehler All-Stars, Awards, Committees, Events, Midwestern Region, Regions, South Central Region, Southern & Atlantic Coastal Region, Western Region

Calling all jumpers competing at 2017 All-Stars!

Do you want to win a signature ICARO jump helmet autographed by Ryan Dodd?

We want to see what makes jumping so special to you!

We have teamed up with Ryan Dodd to find the jumper that has the most passion for hitting the big red. Is it the collegiate ski scene? Seeing your team cheer you on from shore? The feeling of turning a little later than usual and being able to boot one? We’re looking for someone that shows love for jumping regardless how far they go.
