In one of the featured events, called the Knuckle Huck, snowboarders plunge down a slope and build up enough speed to catapult them into the air. The goal participants in the event is to display inventive tricks and skills in mid-air that judges then score.

Powell dazzled the crowd at this year's X Games after he recruited his friend Luke Winkelmann to assist him in demonstrating one of his unique flips, according to GiveMeSports.com.

Winkelmann rode to the middle of the slope, laid down and rose his snowboard to a 45-degree angle, making himself into a makeshift ramp for Powell to glide off down the slope.

Powell completed the dangerous trick by riding down the slope, coasting on the ad-hoc ramp and skating across Winkelmann's board that hurled him into a backflip, before landing upright on the hill.
