We're now three months into the new year, which makes this three months overdue. Maybe that's the amount of time it takes to digest all the happenings from the past year, which isn't surprising given how many crazy moments went down in 2024. Sure, video parts were released and podiums were filled, but we’re also here to make sure you didn’t miss the much more important, oft overlooked moments that need some attention. Because let’s be honest, we gotta laugh at the industry sometimes.
With the aforementioned in mind, we decided to get together and whip up some “Extracurriculars.” Sometimes the people that aren’t on the main stage make some of the best moments, and with no gold medals, no premiere tours, and no winners in sight, here’s a less serious, more relatable award series. These are the 2025 Torment Magazine Extracurriculars.
All By Myself
Jake Aaronson, the DIYer better known as Bum Fucc, continues to defy odds and put out self-made projects that'll make you question it all.

Burning Budgets
Nidecker, the supposed "oldest board sports company in the world," has been blowing the bank out buying up all riders and brands in their path. Who's next?
Built For War
Sam Klein is a self-proclaimed "tank." We aren't arguing that one. If you sit in a frozen river long enough you too can fall off buildings safely.
Most Stuck Homie
Parker Szumowski had to dig his sled out over 250 times in Alaska. No exaggeration.
Like Fine Wine

Worse Than Ruroc?
Anti Ordinary, the self proclaimed "world's leading snowsport helmet," just made the first (and hopefully last) beanie helmet on the market. Please do another video where the helmet takes 10,000 hammer strikes.
Nature vs Nurture
Noah Grayson Carballo, the parental proclaimed "bad boy," is the latest childhood prodigy. Spray painting spillways, back lips on kink rails, and wearing grills at age 9, this trajectory is one to watch.
Maybe It's Maybelline
Jonas Harris goes where no snowboarder has before; the beauty salon. Hailing some nice eyeliner and eyeshadow in the latest Dustbox video.
Most Memorable Meme
