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!
