Pipe riding done good

Aaron Durlester is going through a transition phase

By: Scott Naismith November 20, 2025

Kai Martin’s Nexus documents Aaron Durlester move away from halfpipe contests and towards riding it for fun.

Nexus is a refreshing take on what transition riding can be—full of handplants, creative rotations and butters, bookended by an insane down the pipe dub 10. The film doesn’t limit itself there, and showcases Aaron’s wide-ranging talent from the streets to the backcountry.

From Youtube:

Nexus is a ski video connecting multiple aspects of skiing and influences together to showcase my style. As I’m leaving the halfpipe competition scene, I wanted to create a video showcasing my halfpipe skiing, with the hope of inspiring more people to ski halfpipe for fun and competition. Edited by one of my favorite skiers and filmmakers, Kia Martin, with help from a village of family and friends who made this video possible. Thank you to everyone who helped—I hope you enjoy!
