From Rookie to Royalty: Jessica Perlmutter Dominates the Knuckle Huck
If you weren't familiar with the name Jessica Perlmutter at the start of the winter, you certainly are now. The newly nominated U.S. Pro Team rider capped off a meteoric breakout season by taking home the gold medal in the highly competitive Women’s Snowboard Knuckle Huck at X Games Aspen.
Using the "knuckle" of the big air jump to launch mind-bending, creative maneuvers—including her signature flawless "sloth roll"—the teenager bested a field of established veterans. Fresh off an impressive Olympic debut cycle, Perlmutter has solidified herself as the face of the future for American freestyle snowboarding.
