Watch all 11 Superunknown IX Honorable Mention videos

What was skiing's first video talent-search contest remains the largest and most prestigious, garnering entries from all around the globe nine years running.

According to our friends at Level 1, this year's Superunknown IX brought in "nearly 100 entries from 15 different countries." The talent is hungry this year, looking to follow in the footsteps of previous winners like Tom Wallisch, Corey Vanular, Mike Clarke and last year's victor, Sig Tveit.

This week, Level 1 released 11 Superunknown IX Honorable Mention videos; they're all posted below for your viewing enjoyment. Beginning next week, 13 Finalists will be announced. Based on the level of riding in the videos below, we can only imagine that the Finalists' videos will be pretty damn insane.
