After a heavy crash in 2023, Kai Jones is back and charging in his latest short film Origin.

Child prodigy Kai Jones broke both legs while filming with Teton Gravity Research in 2023 at just 16 years old. The injury doesn’t seem to be holding him back at all as he charges big Alaskan faces or powerfully bounces between pillows in Jackson Hole.

From Youtube:
From 4 a.m. wakeups to last-light bootpacks, Kai Jones has been grinding all season — training, chasing storms, climbing mountains and sending some of the wildest lines in the game. 

ORIGIN is the result of this love and effort: deep days in remote zones, stacking clips in the backcountry and earning every shot.
