00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,074
Everyone is intimidated by a shark. Become
a Card Shark AMERICASCARDROOM.COM

2
00:00:19,278 --> 00:00:23,233
All around you.

3
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:59,961
To seek is not to be content
with where one is.

4
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:11,758
To seek is to fantasize
that there is more.

5
00:02:22,601 --> 00:02:24,569
I am a seeker.

6
00:02:45,374 --> 00:02:48,253
We all learn that water has three phases.

7
00:02:49,086 --> 00:02:52,215
The solid state, the liquid state,
and also the vapor state.

8
00:02:53,382 --> 00:02:56,979
You can't explain
all the known properties of water

9
00:02:57,060 --> 00:03:00,230
with three phases alone,
you need a fourth phase.

10
00:03:05,769 --> 00:03:10,445
As children we have this natural
tendency to explore.

11
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:16,576
And then we go to school and we
have to give the right answer.

12
00:03:20,409 --> 00:03:23,332
This has a tendency to squeeze out of us

13
00:03:23,412 --> 00:03:26,861
the truth-seeking nature
that comes as a human being.

14
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:51,235
Because of the institutionalized
nature of science,

15
00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:55,611
scientists have become more hesitant
to challenge perceived truth.

16
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:04,412
If we want to get to real truth,
we have to dig down beneath the foundations.

17
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:40,317
That was beautiful, man.

18
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,401
- We stomped?
- Yeah.

19
00:06:41,484 --> 00:06:42,531
Fuck, yeah, dude.

20
00:06:42,611 --> 00:06:43,578
Oh!

21
00:06:47,991 --> 00:06:49,788
There is absolutely
an art to building jumps.

22
00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:53,333
Excavating efficiency,
structure, architectural sanity.

23
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:56,461
It's kinda like our arts and crafts,
to do the trajectories right,

24
00:06:56,541 --> 00:06:57,508
do the transition...

25
00:06:57,626 --> 00:06:59,961
- It looks sweet, it's just...
- ...not too much compression.

26
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:01,967
A little bit of late pop.

27
00:07:02,047 --> 00:07:03,139
Building jumps, man.

28
00:07:03,506 --> 00:07:05,178
That's what we do and we do it well.

29
00:07:05,258 --> 00:07:07,886
I think we can do this in three hours.

30
00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:11,599
Working with Travis is kinda like
banging your head against the wall

31
00:07:11,681 --> 00:07:13,683
over and over,

32
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:15,485
until eventually

33
00:07:16,019 --> 00:07:17,983
your brains spill out.

34
00:07:18,063 --> 00:07:20,652
It's a pleasure building jumps
with you in the backcountry, Pat.

35
00:07:20,732 --> 00:07:22,770
It's a pleasure working for you.

36
00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:30,242
Welcome to Wyoming!

37
00:07:31,785 --> 00:07:33,082
Better act accordingly.

38
00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:53,867
Got to whisper right now
'cause I can't talk too loud.

39
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:54,997
He's getting excited.

40
00:09:20,101 --> 00:09:22,229
It's crazy to think it's been 11 years

41
00:09:22,312 --> 00:09:25,360
since Travis brought me out to
the backcountry, that first time.

42
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,529
He's just kinda,
like a older brother to me,

43
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:29,447
always pushing me a little bit further.

44
00:09:29,527 --> 00:09:32,355
Just gave me the glimpse
of what was possible.

45
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:52,530
Business as usual, man,

46
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:55,454
blowing my minds the first time
we went out on his jump.

47
00:11:16,926 --> 00:11:19,724
Travis and I definitely share this path.

48
00:11:19,804 --> 00:11:22,644
It's kind of a migration
based on hydrology.

49
00:11:24,142 --> 00:11:27,817
I was just obsessed
with the processes of nature.

50
00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:33,613
I remember, as a kid,
watching people surfing,

51
00:11:33,693 --> 00:11:35,570
the water, how good it felt to play...

52
00:11:39,782 --> 00:11:42,080
I realized that the storms that were

53
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,750
providing this great surf would provide
amazing snow in the mountains.

54
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:47,298
I had this epiphany.

55
00:11:47,624 --> 00:11:49,592
I was dedicating my life to this process.

56
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:53,422
It's just like a natural instinct,
there's something primitive,

57
00:11:53,504 --> 00:11:57,099
something that goes a little bit deeper
than just playing or just riding.

58
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,100
The laws of nature are the most
powerful laws in existence.

59
00:12:10,813 --> 00:12:12,281
Water evaporates...

60
00:12:15,443 --> 00:12:16,911
Clouds form...

61
00:12:18,196 --> 00:12:19,823
Life begins.

62
00:12:22,992 --> 00:12:25,086
The snowstorm atop high peaks...

63
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:27,956
falls heavy...

64
00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:29,548
settles...

65
00:12:31,334 --> 00:12:32,836
melts...

66
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:36,218
flows through tributaries,

67
00:12:37,215 --> 00:12:38,467
streams...

68
00:12:39,801 --> 00:12:41,519
into rivers...

69
00:12:46,057 --> 00:12:47,809
and finds the sea...

70
00:12:52,647 --> 00:12:54,695
then returns to the air.

71
00:12:59,654 --> 00:13:01,782
This process we follow,

72
00:13:04,075 --> 00:13:05,998
this cycle we ride.

73
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:14,502
Travis!

74
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:20,641
# Where #

75
00:13:23,011 --> 00:13:25,935
# Do we go from here? #

76
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:30,063
Yea, Guch.

77
00:13:31,936 --> 00:13:34,651
Excitement and discovery is, like,
the best thing about being out here.

78
00:13:34,731 --> 00:13:36,153
You can't do it all in a lifetime.

79
00:13:36,858 --> 00:13:38,071
Dude, I think that's an arch.

80
00:13:38,151 --> 00:13:39,118
It looks like it goes.

81
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:40,657
What do you think on approach?

82
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:42,450
So coming up the same way we went

83
00:13:42,530 --> 00:13:44,624
and then just hike up
that ridge down all the way.

84
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:46,284
Travis, are you ready?

85
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:47,376
Ready.

86
00:13:47,994 --> 00:13:49,246
# Where #

87
00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:54,425
# Do we go from here? #

88
00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:56,636
# Oh #

89
00:13:58,171 --> 00:14:00,640
# Where #

90
00:14:02,216 --> 00:14:04,890
# Do we go from here? #

91
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:08,893
# Oh #

92
00:14:08,973 --> 00:14:10,771
# Where #

93
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:15,071
Bryan Iguchi showed me a lot more
than just how to kick out a method.

94
00:14:18,066 --> 00:14:21,865
You know, he handed down the modus
operandi, a certain way of living.

95
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,572
He is the humble master.

96
00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:28,788
I had a vision of what the potential
of snowboarding could become,

97
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:30,081
and he realized it.

98
00:14:30,161 --> 00:14:33,335
Travis became the snowboarder
I always wanted to be.

99
00:14:33,456 --> 00:14:34,673
Here we are.

100
00:14:34,999 --> 00:14:38,295
We're about 11,400 feet,
continental divide.

101
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:40,050
Beautiful spring day.

102
00:14:40,838 --> 00:14:43,216
So basically, the snow
that falls on this side,

103
00:14:43,341 --> 00:14:47,141
melts out, flows down into the Gulf
of Mexico and on into the Atlantic.

104
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:53,560
Then the snow on this side flows
into the Pacific, and around she goes.

105
00:14:53,643 --> 00:14:55,941
# Come on #

106
00:14:56,437 --> 00:14:58,565
Ooh, dawg.

107
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:00,950
# Ooh... #

108
00:15:01,275 --> 00:15:02,613
# Oh #

109
00:15:02,693 --> 00:15:04,695
# Where #

110
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:09,659
# Do we go from here? #

111
00:15:13,371 --> 00:15:15,123
# Where #

112
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:16,753
# Ooh... #

113
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:19,544
# Do we go from here? #

114
00:15:23,673 --> 00:15:26,973
# Where #

115
00:15:27,802 --> 00:15:30,476
# Do we go from here? #

116
00:15:33,891 --> 00:15:36,644
Travis took this idea
about the hydrological cycle

117
00:15:36,727 --> 00:15:38,775
and turned it into this epic journey.

118
00:15:40,398 --> 00:15:44,952
This hydrological cycle, it's easy
to just write it off as, well,

119
00:15:45,278 --> 00:15:47,200
that's the weather.

120
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,330
We steal a lot of the magic
from things that we give names to.

121
00:15:52,827 --> 00:15:56,335
It's this beautiful,
choreographed cycle of life.

122
00:15:58,124 --> 00:15:59,421
If you were standing on the moon

123
00:15:59,542 --> 00:16:02,295
looking back at Earth,
at one point during the day,

124
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:03,630
you're looking at a blue planet.

125
00:16:04,547 --> 00:16:08,931
The ocean traps the sun's heat energy
and turns it into a solar engine.

126
00:16:10,052 --> 00:16:12,850
A system of ocean currents
called the North Pacific Gyre

127
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:17,314
moves in a clockwise direction, driven
by wind and the rotation of the Earth,

128
00:16:17,935 --> 00:16:20,404
distributing this heat energy
around the planet.

129
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,945
This helps fuel the storms
that drive our winters.

130
00:16:24,025 --> 00:16:28,074
I realized, by combining my love of
the ocean with my love of the mountains,

131
00:16:28,154 --> 00:16:32,034
it might be possible to actually follow
the flow around the North Pacific,

132
00:16:32,116 --> 00:16:34,995
travel with the water that melts down
from the Continental Divide,

133
00:16:35,077 --> 00:16:37,455
sail with it as it sweeps
across the ocean,

134
00:16:37,538 --> 00:16:40,382
and turns into the snow
that blankets Japan.

135
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:46,635
The cycle swings up and tears
past the Kamchatka peninsula,

136
00:16:47,632 --> 00:16:51,728
and then finally banks into the catcher's
mitt that forms the Gulf of Alaska.

137
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:55,768
These charged weather systems coming off
the ocean hit these coastal mountains,

138
00:16:55,848 --> 00:16:58,312
which ring out precipitation
like a sponge,

139
00:16:58,392 --> 00:17:01,987
creating some of the most incredible
snow formations on the planet.

140
00:17:03,731 --> 00:17:07,864
The most extreme example of this is in
the zone in AK we named, "So Far Gone. "

141
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,499
I've never seen a place like this before.

142
00:17:14,075 --> 00:17:17,705
The way this snow sticks to the mountains
creates these pillowed spine lines

143
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:19,710
that are totally sci fi.

144
00:17:20,665 --> 00:17:24,089
Since the first time I saw it
I haven't stopped thinking about it.

145
00:17:24,919 --> 00:17:29,095
The whole area has ice up high
that forms these natural kickers.

146
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:35,639
It's subtle, but this allows you
to do tricks you couldn't pull off

147
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:37,849
in a normal AK style line.

148
00:17:39,517 --> 00:17:41,895
I look at mountains
and I ride them in my mind.

149
00:17:45,231 --> 00:17:49,534
The possibilities for progression mother
nature has provided here, it's unparalleled.

150
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:55,325
This area is so remote, we have to camp,

151
00:17:55,449 --> 00:17:58,202
and because it's protected wilderness,
we can't use helis.

152
00:17:58,286 --> 00:17:59,788
We have to hike.

153
00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:01,872
It's a purely human-powered mission.

154
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:09,389
Once Travis has an idea in his head,
it's really hard for him to let it go.

155
00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:15,348
I think the only thing
Travis is afraid of is failure.

156
00:19:02,433 --> 00:19:03,559
It's incredible...

157
00:19:04,268 --> 00:19:08,569
letting yourself go
and just moving with the pace,

158
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:10,365
and...

159
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:14,120
you know, directional flow of the ocean.

160
00:19:16,238 --> 00:19:18,491
Just seeing the power of the currents

161
00:19:18,574 --> 00:19:24,163
traveling westward across the Pacific
and knowing that it's all tied in,

162
00:19:24,246 --> 00:19:27,000
that without this that doesn't happen.

163
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:32,717
I think it brings a lot more appreciation,

164
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:37,010
even when we're far and away
in those winter months,

165
00:19:37,468 --> 00:19:41,644
just knowing kind of where it came from
and where it'll go back to.

166
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:58,660
I love sailing just like
I love snowboarding.

167
00:19:58,781 --> 00:20:00,909
I find there's such similarities there.

168
00:20:00,991 --> 00:20:03,539
The fact that you're out
on your own terms,

169
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:05,166
at the mercy of your own decision making,

170
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:07,965
it keeps you focused on
what you're doing now.

171
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:14,680
# Is there any way #

172
00:20:15,673 --> 00:20:19,303
# To get this weight off my skin #

173
00:20:21,137 --> 00:20:23,640
# Find another one #

174
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:29,020
# Is there anyone #

175
00:20:29,687 --> 00:20:33,408
# To get this writing off the wall? #

176
00:20:35,192 --> 00:20:38,696
# Find a new one #

177
00:20:41,282 --> 00:20:43,660
You know, why do a trip like this?

178
00:20:44,535 --> 00:20:48,000
I think just the act of,
of doing it, being out here,

179
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,174
is really what's important.

180
00:20:51,792 --> 00:20:54,420
You know, out here I actually have time

181
00:20:55,087 --> 00:20:59,842
to read a book, look inward
and it's not that you can't do it...

182
00:21:01,093 --> 00:21:02,686
by any means,

183
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,229
it's just...

184
00:21:08,350 --> 00:21:11,024
I have yet to find the discipline

185
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,824
to live my life on land
like I do out to sea.

186
00:22:07,201 --> 00:22:10,541
Going on trips like this, you want
a partner who will support you

187
00:22:10,621 --> 00:22:12,794
and back you up and raise you up.

188
00:22:15,751 --> 00:22:19,096
We are going to head to platform 37

189
00:22:19,213 --> 00:22:22,808
and we're going to want to
get on the 13 train to Sendai.

190
00:22:25,427 --> 00:22:27,475
Lando is my brother in this.

191
00:22:27,972 --> 00:22:30,519
We're going to roll
this whole thing together.

192
00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:45,748
There are only a few people in snowboarding
whose style blows me away.

193
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:47,992
Mikkel is one of them.

194
00:22:49,451 --> 00:22:51,795
There's something about Japan that I felt

195
00:22:51,912 --> 00:22:54,335
that's where he could really
showcase his riding.

196
00:23:10,848 --> 00:23:13,852
Oh! My God!

197
00:23:13,976 --> 00:23:15,478
Powders good.

198
00:23:18,188 --> 00:23:21,442
The infrastructure they put in
place here to handle the water

199
00:23:21,525 --> 00:23:23,527
just shows you how much of it they get.

200
00:23:26,655 --> 00:23:29,620
Japan is the snowiest place on Earth.

201
00:23:44,798 --> 00:23:46,300
Some people say

202
00:23:46,383 --> 00:23:49,306
you can't ride forest because

203
00:23:49,386 --> 00:23:51,684
there are gods living.

204
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:57,520
But, for my understanding,

205
00:23:58,062 --> 00:24:00,109
if you have respect

206
00:24:00,189 --> 00:24:02,533
good thinking about nature,

207
00:24:03,233 --> 00:24:06,207
nature god will protect you.

208
00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:08,488
Magical out here!

209
00:26:08,817 --> 00:26:13,367
Perfect trees, no branches,
just these beautiful, flower-like canopy.

210
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:21,296
It's really special to be able
to find a place that lets me

211
00:26:21,497 --> 00:26:23,295
be in that most creative state.

212
00:26:23,957 --> 00:26:27,336
It's been a way for me to key in
to my favorite parts of snowboarding.

213
00:27:07,042 --> 00:27:10,090
Every year, you know,
you kinda get new ideas on what to do.

214
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:13,299
I kinda had a vision
of playing around in the trees.

215
00:27:13,465 --> 00:27:17,186
When you've come up to the backcountry
you never know what you're going to find.

216
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:19,851
Pretty much just kids playing
in the sandbox.

217
00:27:19,972 --> 00:27:23,101
This is just one of the things you got
to do to stay in shape out here.

218
00:28:57,611 --> 00:29:01,286
I, of course, had this vision
of just riding powder.

219
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:07,580
Travis, on the other hand, has to go
to this crazy mountaintop, every time,

220
00:29:07,829 --> 00:29:12,585
and that's how Travis's mindset works.
It's like, once it's locked in, it's locked in.

221
00:29:15,003 --> 00:29:17,676
It's pretty epic to be here
beginning of January

222
00:29:17,756 --> 00:29:21,681
and be looking at AK style lines that you
wouldn't be riding till, like, late winter.

223
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:26,064
I definitely had no idea there were
mountains like this in Japan.

224
00:29:26,390 --> 00:29:28,859
It seems like it's completely endless too.

225
00:29:29,226 --> 00:29:30,147
Yeah.

226
00:29:30,227 --> 00:29:32,229
This is, like, definitely
a steeper pitch with...

227
00:29:33,188 --> 00:29:34,902
You know, who really knows
what's in there.

228
00:29:34,982 --> 00:29:38,407
The more you look at it,
the friendlier it feels to me.

229
00:29:39,152 --> 00:29:41,246
This is where some of those big faces are.

230
00:29:43,198 --> 00:29:44,450
This looks a little gnarly.

231
00:29:45,742 --> 00:29:50,255
It's pretty obvious that Travis is pushing
to the alpine every chance we get.

232
00:29:58,672 --> 00:30:03,056
The Japanese Alps, they have everything
for any snowboarder's dream.

233
00:30:04,511 --> 00:30:07,515
They're such a unique piece of topography.

234
00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:11,567
It's like nowhere else on Earth.

235
00:30:12,894 --> 00:30:15,734
The Japanese Alps are some
of the most majestic,

236
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:17,277
beautiful mountains in the world,

237
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:20,156
yet, I think they can be
some of the most dangerous.

238
00:30:21,611 --> 00:30:24,285
It snows ungodly amounts in the valley.

239
00:30:24,698 --> 00:30:26,371
What's it doing up there?

240
00:30:27,743 --> 00:30:30,207
We're in a very volatile environment.

241
00:30:30,287 --> 00:30:33,961
Clouds are moving in,
storms are coming from every direction.

242
00:30:34,041 --> 00:30:38,382
You can't even see the terrain
until that moment the clouds lift.

243
00:30:42,382 --> 00:30:43,884
Beautiful Japanese morning!

244
00:30:44,009 --> 00:30:45,555
Dealing with weather every day.

245
00:30:45,635 --> 00:30:47,137
This our fourth time trying to climb.

246
00:30:47,596 --> 00:30:49,439
Finally we're peeking out in the sun.

247
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:51,855
Yay, Lando!

248
00:30:52,059 --> 00:30:53,605
Every day has been planned good.

249
00:30:53,685 --> 00:30:56,108
We get up and then it ends up
snowing a foot on us.

250
00:30:56,605 --> 00:30:58,482
But today's the day, eh, Mikkel?

251
00:30:58,565 --> 00:31:00,317
- Yup.
- Yeah! Today's the day.

252
00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:02,319
It's out-of-control beautiful up here.

253
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:42,715
I did it!

254
00:32:44,171 --> 00:32:49,428
Where he wants to go with his
snowboarding is just kinda bonkers.

255
00:32:49,509 --> 00:32:53,434
I don't know how else to describe it,
but sheer persistence.

256
00:32:56,099 --> 00:32:57,437
I don't understand it,

257
00:32:57,517 --> 00:33:01,358
but when I get to be a part
of that with Travis,

258
00:33:01,438 --> 00:33:03,907
it's beautiful, man.

259
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:07,406
Dude's just fighting opposition.

260
00:33:23,084 --> 00:33:24,757
All good here.

261
00:33:45,273 --> 00:33:49,119
Getting up to the alpine wasn't something
that I had envisioned in Japan.

262
00:33:49,486 --> 00:33:50,657
It was eye-opening.

263
00:33:50,737 --> 00:33:54,202
I didn't have any idea that
there was terrain like this here.

264
00:33:54,282 --> 00:33:56,660
It does have this mystical beauty to it.

265
00:35:43,058 --> 00:35:44,355
Oh, shit.

266
00:35:46,853 --> 00:35:48,355
It's a Japanese fire festival.

267
00:35:48,605 --> 00:35:50,699
It's been going on for centuries.
This is insane.

268
00:35:51,358 --> 00:35:53,235
We're, we're pretty much
about to burn up here.

269
00:36:00,617 --> 00:36:02,870
Every snowflake needs a particle of dust.

270
00:36:02,952 --> 00:36:04,625
Where does most of the dust come from?

271
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:05,625
Ash.

272
00:36:06,247 --> 00:36:07,308
Let the fire burn.

273
00:37:31,416 --> 00:37:34,214
When it's just dumping and it's calm,

274
00:37:34,294 --> 00:37:36,513
that's when I feel the most alive...

275
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:41,218
remembering how fun it is to...

276
00:37:41,801 --> 00:37:44,520
just... be lost in it.

277
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,661
Many of us cling to ideas
that we've come up with.

278
00:38:00,737 --> 00:38:02,114
We love them.

279
00:38:03,323 --> 00:38:06,538
We think we've arrived at certain truths,

280
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:09,997
but there is so much in
our world that is unknown.

281
00:39:52,599 --> 00:39:55,936
Travis sent me an email
saying, "You're in."

282
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:59,567
All I knew was that
we were going to Kamchatka.

283
00:39:59,647 --> 00:40:01,991
And it was going to be an epic adventure.

284
00:40:04,319 --> 00:40:08,574
# Ride all day till the light's gone #

285
00:40:08,656 --> 00:40:12,536
# I'm with all my friends
Friends, friends #

286
00:40:12,619 --> 00:40:14,872
# Said I'm with all my friends #

287
00:40:15,705 --> 00:40:18,709
It's so thrilling to go somewhere
that's completely unknown.

288
00:40:19,250 --> 00:40:23,220
Eric's the kinda guy who gets
excited by the unexpected.

289
00:40:23,588 --> 00:40:24,885
He's just down.

290
00:40:55,912 --> 00:40:58,585
You realize pretty quick
that Travis pushes the limits.

291
00:40:58,665 --> 00:40:59,791
He pushes himself.

292
00:41:02,627 --> 00:41:07,348
He puts all of his time and energy
into what he's obsessed with.

293
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:30,451
Dude, where are we?

294
00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:33,412
Planet Hoth.

295
00:41:34,826 --> 00:41:39,297
I can see wind just ripping,
snow being taken off at every peak.

296
00:41:40,665 --> 00:41:41,962
We got wind!

297
00:41:43,292 --> 00:41:44,635
Holy shit!

298
00:41:54,929 --> 00:41:57,432
The wind's blowing the snow somewhere,
we just got to find it.

299
00:42:06,524 --> 00:42:08,902
Up top, it's weird crust stuff.

300
00:42:08,985 --> 00:42:11,658
Up above that, it's wind affected.

301
00:42:11,738 --> 00:42:13,240
Just trying to figure out what to do.

302
00:42:21,914 --> 00:42:24,963
This volcano, it's sheet ice.

303
00:42:28,087 --> 00:42:30,551
When I'm just feeling
like something isn't right,

304
00:42:30,631 --> 00:42:32,929
it's very easy for me to pull the plug.

305
00:42:33,009 --> 00:42:36,513
Travis doesn't pull back,
he'll just keep punching forward

306
00:42:36,596 --> 00:42:39,190
until he gets what he wants
and until there's nothing left.

307
00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:43,235
I wouldn't have set foot on that volcano.

308
00:42:46,105 --> 00:42:47,357
Woo-hoo-hoo!

309
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,308
Yeah, man. I'm ready.

310
00:43:30,441 --> 00:43:31,317
Dude...

311
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,277
Dude, that was a burner.

312
00:43:33,361 --> 00:43:34,198
Seriously.

313
00:43:34,278 --> 00:43:38,161
Not the worse run of my life,
the worse snow I've ever ridden.

314
00:43:38,241 --> 00:43:40,455
That was the longest run
in my life, hands down.

315
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:42,003
Yeah, it's a long one.

316
00:43:44,580 --> 00:43:48,918
There are going to be two options,
it's either, we go to the interior

317
00:43:49,001 --> 00:43:51,220
and try and find some more
low elevation stuff

318
00:43:51,796 --> 00:43:54,549
or go to beach and go surf.

319
00:43:59,095 --> 00:44:00,517
Fuck me, dude!

320
00:44:01,514 --> 00:44:03,937
- What?
- I don't surf, bro.

321
00:44:04,684 --> 00:44:09,192
Negative 40, coldest day of the trip
and we're going to get in the water.

322
00:44:09,272 --> 00:44:11,144
Hey, Lando!

323
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:42,810
Just being in that cold water
my arms started seizing.

324
00:44:42,972 --> 00:44:44,519
It scared the shit out of me.

325
00:44:45,057 --> 00:44:48,311
Those guys like that shit,
I guess, I don't though.

326
00:45:00,865 --> 00:45:01,991
Fuck this!

327
00:45:20,426 --> 00:45:22,890
The reason that we wanted
to come here was because

328
00:45:22,970 --> 00:45:26,516
for years we've ridden Japan,
for years we've ridden Alaska.

329
00:45:26,766 --> 00:45:29,605
They get the best conditions on the planet,
and then you look on a map

330
00:45:29,685 --> 00:45:32,275
and you see this incredible
Kuril Island chain.

331
00:45:32,355 --> 00:45:35,609
It's so good here and it's so good here.
What the heck is in the middle?

332
00:45:35,858 --> 00:45:40,116
Kurils, it's one
of the most difficult place

333
00:45:40,196 --> 00:45:42,949
on our planet to organize this kind of...

334
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:44,416
operation.

335
00:45:44,909 --> 00:45:47,207
From our lodge straight to the Kurils

336
00:45:47,411 --> 00:45:50,210
will be, like, 200 kilometers.

337
00:45:50,957 --> 00:45:53,506
That means about
an hour flying, 50 minutes.

338
00:45:54,085 --> 00:45:58,180
But then, from here
to this island, one more hour.

339
00:45:58,589 --> 00:46:02,435
And some part of the flight,
we have open ocean.

340
00:46:02,885 --> 00:46:05,138
Sounds like a freaking psycho mission.

341
00:46:05,888 --> 00:46:06,935
"Psycho mission."

342
00:46:07,515 --> 00:46:09,237
That's the right word.

343
00:46:09,317 --> 00:46:10,985
That's the right word.

344
00:46:11,310 --> 00:46:13,983
You know, weather can change really fast,

345
00:46:14,063 --> 00:46:16,065
we must be really lucky...

346
00:46:16,899 --> 00:46:18,071
with everything.

347
00:46:18,317 --> 00:46:20,695
Hopefully we'll get that
perfect weather window.

348
00:46:24,824 --> 00:46:28,789
The weather has been beautiful
in Kamchatka.

349
00:46:28,870 --> 00:46:34,466
We've had negative 40 degrees,
plus 40 degrees the next day.

350
00:46:41,215 --> 00:46:43,263
So this is calling for Wednesday.

351
00:46:43,384 --> 00:46:45,478
Thursday, Friday, there's a chance.

352
00:46:46,971 --> 00:46:49,770
Yeah, the weather's been
like a kick in the nuts.

353
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:53,394
When you're hanging out
in the lodge waiting for weather,

354
00:46:53,477 --> 00:46:55,605
your mind can play tricks on you.

355
00:47:41,442 --> 00:47:43,160
I don't know, we're just, uh...

356
00:47:43,444 --> 00:47:44,696
We're here.

357
00:47:44,779 --> 00:47:45,905
We're in it.

358
00:47:46,322 --> 00:47:48,575
We're just letting blind optimism...

359
00:47:50,951 --> 00:47:52,498
rule our destiny.

360
00:47:57,416 --> 00:47:59,544
We have some news for us.

361
00:47:59,627 --> 00:48:01,090
Forecast shows

362
00:48:01,170 --> 00:48:03,634
big, high pressure system.

363
00:48:03,714 --> 00:48:07,763
That's Kurils. Internet shows,
like one week good weather.

364
00:48:07,843 --> 00:48:10,638
Classic! Classic Kamchatka!

365
00:48:11,597 --> 00:48:14,350
You know, we see this,
like, really small window,

366
00:48:14,809 --> 00:48:18,029
and we finally decided to pull
the trigger and head south.

367
00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:24,194
There was so much build up,
so much emotion and energy.

368
00:48:28,155 --> 00:48:30,203
We're like, "All right. This is it!"

369
00:48:40,751 --> 00:48:42,753
We're going to the Kurils!

370
00:49:10,489 --> 00:49:12,662
Halfway, you see this current line.

371
00:49:13,868 --> 00:49:16,417
They're like eight foot
breaking waves where the Pacific Ocean

372
00:49:16,912 --> 00:49:20,211
and the Okhotsk Sea
are just grinding together.

373
00:49:20,291 --> 00:49:24,045
To watch that energy moving
across the planet, it's powerful.

374
00:49:44,982 --> 00:49:46,704
No?

375
00:49:47,026 --> 00:49:48,699
I don't really know what's going on.

376
00:49:49,278 --> 00:49:51,280
We can't leave the helicopter...

377
00:49:52,031 --> 00:49:53,658
that's one thing that's going on.

378
00:49:54,783 --> 00:49:56,456
Bureaucracy is the issue here.

379
00:49:57,411 --> 00:49:59,375
We have all the proper paperwork.

380
00:49:59,455 --> 00:50:03,170
We got approved by the military,
but apparently it's a different military,

381
00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:05,339
so these guys won't let us in.

382
00:50:05,419 --> 00:50:06,632
They're shutting us down.

383
00:50:06,712 --> 00:50:08,134
They're shutting us down!

384
00:50:08,756 --> 00:50:11,726
We've been detained for, like, six hours,

385
00:50:11,967 --> 00:50:14,765
but we're just trying to get out of here.
It's a two-hour flight home,

386
00:50:14,845 --> 00:50:17,974
and there's about two and half
hours of daylight left, so...

387
00:50:18,057 --> 00:50:19,980
Just trying to keep sanity here.

388
00:50:21,227 --> 00:50:25,653
# So we made it down
To the Kuril Islands #

389
00:50:28,317 --> 00:50:30,820
# Had high hopes #

390
00:50:31,487 --> 00:50:34,661
# But they would not let us
Even past the ropes #

391
00:50:36,158 --> 00:50:38,497
# Are we ever going to
Get to shred? #

392
00:50:38,577 --> 00:50:39,703
# I don't know #

393
00:50:41,330 --> 00:50:42,673
Oh, no.

394
00:50:44,333 --> 00:50:45,459
# This morning #

395
00:50:47,127 --> 00:50:49,129
# We thought we were going to
Ride powder #

396
00:50:49,213 --> 00:50:50,465
Powder.

397
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,514
# Nah, fool, we're just POWs #

398
00:50:55,427 --> 00:50:56,724
# Locked up #

399
00:50:59,890 --> 00:51:00,811
Dude.

400
00:51:00,891 --> 00:51:01,854
What, dude?

401
00:51:03,519 --> 00:51:05,691
- Let's make a run for it.
- Yeah?

402
00:51:13,696 --> 00:51:14,788
That's for you.

403
00:51:15,906 --> 00:51:17,753
All you guys.

404
00:51:22,913 --> 00:51:28,044
If we can't ride here, at least
these kids can keep riding here.

405
00:51:28,127 --> 00:51:30,841
This way we leave
a little piece of us with them.

406
00:51:30,921 --> 00:51:33,010
Oh! I can't believe this.

407
00:51:33,090 --> 00:51:36,219
That's crazy,
that snowboarding is alive there.

408
00:51:36,677 --> 00:51:37,849
Goodbye!

409
00:51:42,182 --> 00:51:43,980
It's so painful.

410
00:51:45,477 --> 00:51:47,775
I spent, like, two years
planning this trip.

411
00:51:48,814 --> 00:51:50,486
We got completely shut down.

412
00:52:15,132 --> 00:52:17,304
When things don't come together,

413
00:52:17,384 --> 00:52:20,137
I'm so compelled to figure out
how it does work.

414
00:52:20,220 --> 00:52:22,018
I dig deeper to find the truth.

415
00:52:54,171 --> 00:52:58,885
Alaska, it's the place
where it might seem like it's...

416
00:52:59,218 --> 00:53:01,516
you at odds with the physical terrain.

417
00:53:07,476 --> 00:53:11,777
But Alaska is really just the backdrop
for you against yourself.

418
00:53:13,482 --> 00:53:15,905
It's as far as you want to take it.

419
00:53:52,020 --> 00:53:54,773
It's definitely the driest
we've ever seen it out here.

420
00:53:55,858 --> 00:53:58,405
I don't think I've ever seen
this much rock in Alaska

421
00:53:58,485 --> 00:54:00,328
in the wintertime before, ever.

422
00:54:03,824 --> 00:54:06,789
One of the least amounts of
snowfall in 100 years

423
00:54:06,869 --> 00:54:09,873
in Alaskan history, so that's kind
of what we're looking at.

424
00:54:11,415 --> 00:54:13,884
- Holy shit.
- Holy shit!

425
00:54:21,717 --> 00:54:23,594
Some facets on top of that crust.

426
00:54:24,511 --> 00:54:25,724
On top of this, ring crust.

427
00:54:25,804 --> 00:54:27,056
It's definitely scary.

428
00:54:27,139 --> 00:54:29,517
For the next storm to come in,
we want it to come in

429
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,020
warm and wet,
rip it out and then snow like,

430
00:54:33,103 --> 00:54:35,606
you know, quite a bit
on top of that. Would be

431
00:54:35,689 --> 00:54:37,691
best case scenario, in a dream world.

432
00:54:37,983 --> 00:54:39,075
Yeah.

433
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:42,491
I'd like to live in a dream world.

434
00:54:42,571 --> 00:54:45,494
Got to tiptoe, unfortunately.

435
00:54:45,574 --> 00:54:49,420
A little more scary when you
got to tiptoe instead of charge.

436
00:54:54,249 --> 00:54:57,589
On the road from Japan
straight into Russia,

437
00:54:57,669 --> 00:54:59,967
came straight up here and, you know,

438
00:55:00,380 --> 00:55:01,723
just kinda...

439
00:55:02,716 --> 00:55:03,763
We're just...

440
00:55:03,884 --> 00:55:07,104
Just battling the whole time,
man, and I just...

441
00:55:07,638 --> 00:55:09,311
I got to get out of this.

442
00:55:10,516 --> 00:55:12,518
I can't keep battling.

443
00:55:23,028 --> 00:55:27,625
I don't know. Big mountains have always
scared me and I have always been able to...

444
00:55:28,033 --> 00:55:29,997
deal with that fear and just...

445
00:55:30,077 --> 00:55:34,798
I don't know, there's something about
the snow pack, the low tide and...

446
00:55:35,624 --> 00:55:39,719
Just something doesn't feel right, so,
I got to listen to my gut instinct.

447
00:55:41,755 --> 00:55:42,972
Amen.

448
00:55:43,590 --> 00:55:44,967
- What a whirlwind.
- Go get it.

449
00:55:45,050 --> 00:55:46,893
- Yeah, thanks.
- Buddy.

450
00:55:47,261 --> 00:55:48,557
Love you, bud.

451
00:55:48,637 --> 00:55:50,786
Hate to bail, but I got to.

452
00:55:56,436 --> 00:55:59,189
One half of me is disappointed

453
00:55:59,273 --> 00:56:03,744
that a partner of mine
can't meet me where I'm at.

454
00:56:07,614 --> 00:56:10,458
And then the other side of me
is pure compassion,

455
00:56:11,118 --> 00:56:13,712
'cause I know that it's
what I'm pushing towards.

456
00:56:21,169 --> 00:56:23,967
Going over some of the details
of So Far Gone right now.

457
00:56:24,047 --> 00:56:27,930
Now if the conditions were good you can
knock that stuff out pretty quick.

458
00:56:28,010 --> 00:56:31,230
Just take a look at these photos from
our scout flight a couple of days ago.

459
00:56:32,097 --> 00:56:34,520
Yeah, see, if you look at
photos from last year.

460
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,854
You know, all this is, like,
rideable, filled in, like...

461
00:56:37,978 --> 00:56:41,198
It takes a season's worth of snow for
So Far Gone, I don't think that's happening.

462
00:56:41,857 --> 00:56:46,779
You know, we kinda got a long game
with the plan and this area

463
00:56:46,862 --> 00:56:49,536
and seeing as how this year is already
really challenging out there,

464
00:56:50,073 --> 00:56:53,998
and not looking all that safe from what
we've been able to collect so far.

465
00:56:54,244 --> 00:56:56,061
Maybe we go out next year

466
00:56:56,142 --> 00:56:59,375
when we hope conditions
are better than they are this year.

467
00:57:00,125 --> 00:57:01,968
We grow into that.

468
00:57:02,794 --> 00:57:04,296
It was looking really bleak.

469
00:57:04,379 --> 00:57:06,302
We were talking about
pulling out of the field.

470
00:57:06,423 --> 00:57:10,389
We did two weeks waiting
for a good snow and then we saw

471
00:57:10,469 --> 00:57:13,809
a mass of low pressure,
way off the Aleutians,

472
00:57:13,889 --> 00:57:16,483
coming from Russia
and watched it for days,

473
00:57:17,768 --> 00:57:21,693
and it just turned into this incredible,
stable snowpack.

474
00:57:22,731 --> 00:57:24,653
So Far Gone is not happening,

475
00:57:24,733 --> 00:57:28,533
but there are places that
you can go and still find...

476
00:57:28,904 --> 00:57:30,372
somewhat normal conditions.

477
00:57:32,741 --> 00:57:35,414
So it's just the two of us, so we're gonna

478
00:57:35,494 --> 00:57:37,708
definitely be shredding
with the third in spirit.

479
00:57:37,788 --> 00:57:38,630
Yeah.

480
00:57:38,747 --> 00:57:39,835
Um...

481
00:57:39,915 --> 00:57:46,133
But, you know, a little bummed
that he had to, he had to bounce.

482
00:58:44,187 --> 00:58:45,150
Looks like AK.

483
00:58:45,230 --> 00:58:47,069
I'm scared, finally.

484
01:00:06,937 --> 01:00:08,400
You've got to cross the slough.

485
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,574
I was thinking about coming
in the middle here.

486
01:01:44,910 --> 01:01:49,831
Travis pushes the limit so hard,
but when we look at decisions that he makes,

487
01:01:50,373 --> 01:01:51,625
they're very calculated.

488
01:01:52,042 --> 01:01:54,965
That's probably what
I respect the most about him.

489
01:01:55,045 --> 01:01:57,423
He sees that he could ride it and he will.

490
01:02:04,304 --> 01:02:06,577
Trav, you got this, buddy!

491
01:04:03,673 --> 01:04:05,016
- Dropping.
- Go on, man.

492
01:04:50,428 --> 01:04:52,146
Look at that, buddy. Get this. Get this!

493
01:04:53,014 --> 01:04:54,732
Oh!

494
01:04:55,350 --> 01:04:57,419
Yeah!

495
01:04:57,936 --> 01:04:59,849
Good job, boys.

496
01:05:00,897 --> 01:05:02,524
That makes it all worth it, right there.

497
01:05:03,274 --> 01:05:05,026
- Amen.
- That's what we live for.

498
01:05:05,735 --> 01:05:07,487
A beautiful day.

499
01:05:07,570 --> 01:05:09,789
Seriously. Yeah, buddy.

500
01:05:12,367 --> 01:05:14,040
You land things and you don't land things.

501
01:05:14,828 --> 01:05:17,239
I guess if you're Travis,
you usually land things

502
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,625
that you probably shouldn't have landed.

503
01:05:40,353 --> 01:05:42,105
The fragment's the size of my finger.

504
01:05:42,188 --> 01:05:44,861
The CAT scan on top of the MRI
shows a little old injury

505
01:05:44,941 --> 01:05:46,864
and then the new injury
on top of the old injury.

506
01:05:47,277 --> 01:05:48,278
No question.

507
01:05:50,113 --> 01:05:53,242
On the right side that's normal
volume to the nerve holes,

508
01:05:54,033 --> 01:05:56,661
but if you look at the left side
almost all of its disc.

509
01:05:57,412 --> 01:06:00,291
Most people would be laying on the floor,
carrying him on an ironing board.

510
01:06:00,373 --> 01:06:03,126
They wouldn't be up walking around
smiling with that kind of rupture.

511
01:06:03,209 --> 01:06:08,047
If you look at this, which is the paraspinous
muscle and the belly muscle, the soleus.

512
01:06:08,131 --> 01:06:09,849
His muscles around his spine

513
01:06:10,216 --> 01:06:12,184
are the single biggest ones
I've ever seen.

514
01:06:12,343 --> 01:06:14,971
His core muscles
are literally like this...

515
01:06:15,054 --> 01:06:17,852
- I mean, I've never see this. It's insane.
- It's huge.

516
01:06:17,932 --> 01:06:22,607
Travis Rice, a left L 4-5
posterior lumbar microdiscectomy.

517
01:06:22,687 --> 01:06:26,442
No known drug allergies,
two grams of Ancef is in.

518
01:06:40,246 --> 01:06:41,589
What's the fourth phase?

519
01:06:42,624 --> 01:06:45,468
When water meets a surface,

520
01:06:45,710 --> 01:06:48,463
the molecules undergo massive change.

521
01:06:50,381 --> 01:06:52,850
They become structured,

522
01:06:53,927 --> 01:06:56,021
they acquire charge...

523
01:06:57,263 --> 01:06:59,357
All you need is light.

524
01:07:00,308 --> 01:07:02,777
Waking up. The surgery is done.
Went perfect.

525
01:07:03,311 --> 01:07:04,649
You in there?

526
01:07:04,729 --> 01:07:05,855
Open your eyes up.

527
01:07:05,939 --> 01:07:07,156
You're going to be back.

528
01:07:18,368 --> 01:07:23,248
When we set out on a goal,
follow through means a lot,

529
01:07:24,123 --> 01:07:25,921
and you push it a lot,

530
01:07:27,043 --> 01:07:30,263
regardless of how
the outcome might end up.

531
01:08:28,563 --> 01:08:29,530
Yep.

532
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:51,594
My phone rings and I was like,
"Why is Travis Rice calling me,

533
01:08:51,711 --> 01:08:54,926
telling me all about his trip,"
and he wants to go to the sickest place

534
01:08:55,006 --> 01:08:56,349
he's ever seen in Alaska.

535
01:08:56,758 --> 01:08:58,010
Then at some point he tells me,

536
01:08:58,176 --> 01:09:00,395
"Yeah, I would be stoked
if you could join in."

537
01:09:00,511 --> 01:09:02,184
I could not truly believe it.

538
01:09:02,722 --> 01:09:05,726
So Far Gone finally feels
like it's coming into alignment,

539
01:09:05,808 --> 01:09:11,189
but living and snowboarding in an area like
this comes with a lot of heavy exposure.

540
01:09:11,522 --> 01:09:15,993
I'm just gonna get my legs and mind
warmed up to this style of riding again,

541
01:09:16,277 --> 01:09:18,779
reconnect with
the mountains here in Alaska.

542
01:09:25,536 --> 01:09:27,504
In Valdez, perfect warm up

543
01:09:27,622 --> 01:09:30,922
before a big mission in the glaciers.

544
01:09:43,554 --> 01:09:46,057
I don't feel like I chose Victor,

545
01:09:46,933 --> 01:09:49,480
it's what he's done in snowboarding,

546
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:52,484
the ways he's tried
to express his own riding.

547
01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:55,442
He wrote his own destiny.

548
01:10:00,738 --> 01:10:04,912
Victor in three... two... one... dropping!

549
01:10:22,677 --> 01:10:23,803
Travis, dropping.

550
01:10:39,402 --> 01:10:41,090
That's it.

551
01:10:58,838 --> 01:11:00,181
Victor and his French rules.

552
01:12:02,318 --> 01:12:04,491
It's been about ten years
since I went out with Jones

553
01:12:04,612 --> 01:12:06,159
and camped on a glacier for a month

554
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:09,994
and totally changed my perspective
on ways to operate up here in Alaska.

555
01:12:11,077 --> 01:12:13,671
It's great to have him up here
so we can kinda get aligned for

556
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:15,457
our approach into So Far Gone.

557
01:12:15,748 --> 01:12:18,172
Jeremy Jones, and he's right there.

558
01:12:18,751 --> 01:12:20,594
Rice, I'm 100 percent.

559
01:12:20,753 --> 01:12:21,674
Copy that.

560
01:12:21,754 --> 01:12:22,630
Give her heaven, buddy.

561
01:13:38,497 --> 01:13:39,965
Fuck, yeah. Dude, get this.

562
01:14:03,773 --> 01:14:05,116
Good job, Victor.

563
01:14:06,150 --> 01:14:08,903
Travis, just give me a circle
when you're ready.

564
01:14:09,028 --> 01:14:11,747
Three... two... one...

565
01:14:12,323 --> 01:14:13,825
Travis, dropping.

566
01:15:58,304 --> 01:16:01,683
I find myself infatuated...

567
01:16:02,725 --> 01:16:07,276
with a vision of doing something
in such a specific way.

568
01:16:22,036 --> 01:16:24,960
I have not figured out how to separate...

569
01:16:27,875 --> 01:16:29,718
reckless optimism...

570
01:16:34,423 --> 01:16:37,427
from a healthy appetite to pursue things,

571
01:16:37,927 --> 01:16:40,225
until it becomes impossible.

572
01:16:43,307 --> 01:16:46,231
To be able to know the difference...

573
01:16:50,064 --> 01:16:52,066
Yeah, it'd be amazing.

574
01:16:58,072 --> 01:17:01,830
I've been lucky to have
a few glimpses into...

575
01:17:02,493 --> 01:17:05,212
what this idea of letting go really is.

576
01:17:10,167 --> 01:17:12,010
I know it's possible.

577
01:19:26,553 --> 01:19:30,600
I was laying there, very upset
with the decisions I made.

578
01:19:30,683 --> 01:19:34,062
Angry that I'd just injured myself,

579
01:19:35,312 --> 01:19:41,493
knowing that So Far Gone wasn't
going to happen, and I had a shift.

580
01:19:41,735 --> 01:19:46,115
I was given this gift of humility
and appreciation for life.

581
01:19:47,950 --> 01:19:52,872
And everything that happens to me
is this opportunity for learning.

582
01:19:52,955 --> 01:19:55,083
Really, the greatest journey

583
01:19:55,165 --> 01:19:58,836
is the one that you take towards
a better understanding of yourself

584
01:19:58,919 --> 01:20:01,342
and this incredible life

585
01:20:01,588 --> 01:20:02,885
that we get to live.

586
01:20:06,802 --> 01:20:08,520
Now we get the wind back.

587
01:20:11,890 --> 01:20:12,766
Okay.

588
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,102
There she is.

589
01:21:31,178 --> 01:21:32,179
Yay, Lando!

590
01:22:31,071 --> 01:22:32,243
Fuck, yeah, Rice.

591
01:22:32,364 --> 01:22:34,386
You're gonna be bouncing right over.

592
01:22:40,247 --> 01:22:44,127
We feel free when a new
understanding appears.

593
01:22:47,087 --> 01:22:49,385
So, that's where we get great pleasure.

594
01:22:51,884 --> 01:22:55,229
We stumble and we try and finally
something comes together.

595
01:22:56,763 --> 01:22:58,765
It's beautiful.

596
01:23:24,166 --> 01:23:26,339
This process we follow...

597
01:23:38,013 --> 01:23:40,141
This cycle we ride.

598
01:25:20,532 --> 01:25:24,081
There was a series of letters
from Einstein to his daughter,

599
01:25:24,161 --> 01:25:28,257
and they weren't to be released
until many years after her death.

600
01:25:28,540 --> 01:25:30,587
And one of them was a charming story,

601
01:25:30,667 --> 01:25:33,671
he said, "Take my equation, E = mc2

602
01:25:34,171 --> 01:25:37,471
and replace the 'm,'
replace the mass with love."

603
01:25:38,050 --> 01:25:40,428
He said, "You put love into the equation,

604
01:25:40,510 --> 01:25:44,184
and love times the speed of
light square gives you energy."

605
01:25:44,264 --> 01:25:47,108
He says, "The real energy
comes from love."

606
01:25:55,692 --> 01:25:58,156
Who's got a phone? I have to call my mom.

607
01:25:58,236 --> 01:26:01,410
Mom. Hey, Mom. Yeah, can you hear me?

608
01:26:01,490 --> 01:26:03,704
Hey, I did it.

609
01:26:03,784 --> 01:26:06,128
Huh? No, no, no, she's not pregnant.

610
01:26:06,286 --> 01:26:09,084
I mean snowboarding.
I couldn't have done it without you.

611
01:26:09,164 --> 01:26:10,752
All right, ma. I got to go.

612
01:26:10,832 --> 01:26:12,926
All right. Love you. No, you hang up.

613
01:26:19,925 --> 01:26:22,514
Two ducks in a pond and a burned out belt.

614
01:26:22,594 --> 01:26:23,891
It's the way to start the morning.

615
01:26:24,012 --> 01:26:25,309
We need to reinvent ourselves.

616
01:26:25,389 --> 01:26:27,227
I'm gonna dye my hair
and start doing one foot tricks.

617
01:26:27,307 --> 01:26:30,355
I'm going to grow a beard
and just be a sarcastic asshole.

618
01:26:30,936 --> 01:26:32,758
Has anyone seen Wheeler?

619
01:26:35,941 --> 01:26:38,285
Just got back from battle, dude.

620
01:26:38,402 --> 01:26:40,029
That's what it's all about, boys.

621
01:26:40,445 --> 01:26:43,164
Watch out for this guy, he's straight up.

622
01:26:43,907 --> 01:26:45,454
Flippin' that, flippin' this.

623
01:26:45,575 --> 01:26:48,545
These fans are going to get goin'.
All this stuff's gonna light up,

624
01:26:48,662 --> 01:26:50,756
so I don't want you
to be freaked out by that.

625
01:26:50,872 --> 01:26:53,211
We're gonna serve lunch
right on the tip top

626
01:26:53,291 --> 01:26:55,134
of that volcano up there.

627
01:26:55,252 --> 01:26:58,552
Spewing hot lava,
we're gonna have hot soup,

628
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:02,054
hot coffee, that's gonna be
hot shit right now.

629
01:27:02,134 --> 01:27:04,056
Captain, I think
we're about ready to take off.

630
01:27:04,136 --> 01:27:06,138
We gotta go now!

631
01:27:16,273 --> 01:27:17,775
The course is ready.

632
01:27:20,861 --> 01:27:21,987
There comes the vibe.

633
01:27:22,070 --> 01:27:23,116
Thanks, guys.

634
01:27:23,196 --> 01:27:26,245
We are deep in the mountains
that we've hiked for two days.

635
01:27:26,366 --> 01:27:29,711
It's rugged conditions out there,
way worse than when Jeremy Jones was here.

636
01:27:29,828 --> 01:27:32,001
It's burlap sack out there, bro.

637
01:27:39,337 --> 01:27:41,510
- Tell me when it's in the right spot.
- All right.

638
01:27:44,551 --> 01:27:46,804
Yeah, that's how you block.

639
01:27:47,137 --> 01:27:51,062
I gotta let the big dogs eat, then
the little, small dog can eat after that.

640
01:27:51,183 --> 01:27:52,730
Just like the X Games right, bud?

641
01:27:52,851 --> 01:27:54,979
Just have someone else build you a park.

642
01:27:58,440 --> 01:28:02,294
The jump would be finished if you
were shoveling, not filming nothing.

643
01:28:02,819 --> 01:28:04,866
The crew is really fired up
for this mission.

644
01:28:04,946 --> 01:28:06,744
Everything's really starting
to make sense.

645
01:28:06,990 --> 01:28:09,955
And I think, even back at home
people are gonna be really impressed

646
01:28:10,035 --> 01:28:12,037
by what we're gonna bring home.

647
01:28:14,623 --> 01:28:17,295
Yeah, I'm in the field.
Listen, we got an emergency.

648
01:28:17,375 --> 01:28:19,002
Listen, I know you're just sitting there.

649
01:28:19,085 --> 01:28:22,089
No, we're just looking for gnarly
conditions, one way or the other.

650
01:28:22,464 --> 01:28:23,716
Earn your keep.

651
01:28:26,343 --> 01:28:29,222
I was bored a couple of years back,
decided to go to flight school.

652
01:28:29,471 --> 01:28:32,761
Fly around them long enough,
you want to be able to fly one.

653
01:28:48,490 --> 01:28:50,788
Yeah, you know,
things are different these days.

654
01:28:50,909 --> 01:28:53,662
You can't just roam around
the streets of Tokyo,

655
01:28:53,745 --> 01:28:57,045
with your GoPro 3, ah, 3.5,

656
01:28:57,499 --> 01:29:01,923
thinking you're going to get a freaking
viral video to go past 0.5 million.

657
01:29:04,548 --> 01:29:05,970
Welcome to Alaska.

658
01:29:06,216 --> 01:29:08,310
Let the games begin!

659
01:29:26,361 --> 01:29:28,238
Hell, yeah, slapstick.

660
01:29:29,447 --> 01:29:33,327
We got Scott Serfas and Mark Landvik
versus Travis Rice and Eric Jackson.

661
01:29:33,618 --> 01:29:36,087
Little two-on-two, half court press.

662
01:29:36,413 --> 01:29:37,710
What you gonna do, bitch?

663
01:29:39,833 --> 01:29:41,885
All right, Trav. Let's do this.

664
01:30:01,771 --> 01:30:03,819
Marquesas Dead ahead!

665
01:30:06,607 --> 01:30:11,078
We want to find snow!
We gotta go that way!

666
01:30:11,821 --> 01:30:13,038
West!

667
01:30:13,948 --> 01:30:16,417
No, left, you idiot!

668
01:30:16,951 --> 01:30:18,544
That way.

669
01:30:18,744 --> 01:30:20,997
Is that all you've got?

670
01:30:21,706 --> 01:30:23,458
Bring it on!
