[Prepared & Supported] In freestyle aerials, talent is never enough on its own. For Ashton Salwan, summer preparation depends on the systems around him — gear that protects high-repetition ramp training, recovery tools that help sustain the volume, and partners who understand the work required before the season reaches snow.
The Support Behind the Summer Build
The winter season is not built when the snow arrives.
For Ashton Salwan, the 2026/27 build begins months earlier — through water ramp sessions, strength work, technical corrections, travel days, recovery routines, and the daily discipline required to keep progressing in one of winter sport’s most technical events.
Freestyle aerials demands precision long before competition day. Every takeoff, rotation, landing pattern, and training block depends on consistency. And consistency depends on more than effort. It depends on preparation.
That preparation is strengthened by a group of product partners helping Ashton and Team Salwan move through the summer build with the tools, protection, recovery resources, and daily support needed to keep the work moving forward.
Liquid Force : Built for the Water Ramp Season
Before aerial skills return to snow, they are rebuilt on water — one climb, one takeoff, one landing at a time.
For the second straight summer, Liquid Force supports Ashton’s water ramp preparation with gear built for impact, movement, and repeated use in demanding training environments. From helmet protection to vest support, Liquid Force helps equip the summer blocks where timing, air awareness, and confidence are refined before transferring back to snow.
Freaks of Nature : Protection Through the Elements
Summer training leaves little room to hide from the elements.
Long sessions bring sun, water, wind, heat, and altitude — all part of the environment where the next season begins to take shape. Freaks of Nature supports Ashton’s preparation with practical skin protection for high-exposure training days, helping make the elements part of the work instead of a distraction from it.
Tend Therapy Tool : Recovery Between the Reps
The work does not end when a session is over.
Heavy summer blocks require daily attention to the body — the small recovery habits, maintenance routines, and reset moments that help make consistency possible. Tend supports Ashton between sessions, adding to the rhythm of preparation that keeps the next rep, next day, and next block within reach.
Firefly Recovery : Reset for the Next Session
As volume builds, recovery becomes part of the training plan.
Firefly Recovery supports Ashton through demanding blocks and travel-heavy stretches, adding another tool to the routine between sessions. In a sport where progress depends on showing up ready again and again, recovery is not separate from the work — it helps carry the work forward.
Municipal Apparel : Built for the Hours Around the Work
Not every part of the summer build happens on the ramp.
Some of it happens in the gym, on travel days, between sessions, and in the quiet windows where the body resets before the next block begins. Municipal supports Ashton with apparel built for the daily rhythm around preparation — practical, versatile, and made for the movement that surrounds the work.
“Summer is where the season starts to take shape. The right support helps me stay consistent, recover well, and keep building day after day.”
-Ashton Salwan
Built for the Season Ahead
Every partner in Ashton's summer build serves a different purpose. Safety on the ramps. Protection in the elements. Recovery between sessions. Gear for travel, training, and daily preparation.
Together, they help sustain the preparation that happens before the season is visible — the repetitions, routines, and quiet standards that shape an athlete long before competition day.
For Ashton, the goal is simple: keep building with purpose, protect the process, and arrive at the next season prepared for the work ahead.
