What happens when mega skill, mega balls, mega energy drinks and mega budgets get together? Time lapse night shots and helis and bears oh my! ‘The Art of Flight’. Drop 9/7, check the latest trailer below and the teaser trailer here. Hopefully it’s not like That’s It That’s All, as that came hyped but I thought didn’t live up to it.  The guys from Brain Farm (think: That’s It, That’s All) are back with their Red Bull budgets to stun your eyeholes and gape your pieholes. Andy Irons on snow with T. Rice and Kevin Jones. The quotes at the end sum up the reason we all do it.
Andy Irons schralps the pow-pow!!! from Billabong USA on Vimeo. Travis Rice was created. Well, OK, I only consider people at snowboard God level if they grew up riding the WA resorts, but we’ll give him Godlike status. Truth: You will NEVER ride as good as Rice. Ever. The sooner you accept the fact that less pressure you’ll put on yourself in the park or whatever and get back to just enjoying riding. Sorry Kev, I’m talking to you. Oh yeah, footage is from the King of the Hill contest. If you’re old, ugly and gray (or bald…) you may remember the contest from the early 90s (think Matt Goodwill and the world’s stiffest foam core board – may have been the year he got all famous from doing that big ol’ flip?). Or you might just be old, ugly and gray (or bald) and not recall the contest. Whatever, watch the vid.
The King of the Hill 2010 from UnofficialSquaw on Vimeo. The Deeper crew swing another episode from the back seat of their Jeeps. Dunno, the more I see these teasers the more I’m thinking I just want to see quick cut scenes of people hitting a cheesewedge while MGMT (wait, the tight jeans/hipster meets hippy 80s synth redux thing is dead? Fine, let’s go old school and throw some brohymn in there…but can we get a version where the opening bass riff is played on a keytar?) plays in the background. Pausenot.
Between the part in the Krakauer book I’ve been reading about flying around AK, to the new Surfers Journal article about scouting lines from a plane, makes me want to revisit getting my pilot’$ licen$e. This time it’s from the boys at Absinthe, who know how to put a film together. (Yes, the audio cuts out somewhere past the 2minute mark. Not sure what’s going on there, the vid they have on their site is only 2 minutes and changed so maybe a Youtuber spliced some new footage in there?) Oh, and a sick little trick by Mr. (you have to address him by Mr. after he did a stint in AK with the Deeper crew!) Travis Rice
Travis Rice – Neverland from Absinthe Films on Vimeo. Brian Pattee at Down the Middle custom splitboards recently got the call from Mr. T. Rice, who was looking to get a few boards split before he headed to Alaska to film with Jeremy Jones and the ‘Deeper‘ crew. The fact that Travis had to call up Brian means that obviously the long rumored Lib OEM split is still at least another year out. This guy does INSANE work (check the middle edges), I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves….  Travis Rice's split quiver  The quiver's bases  Banana Split courtesy of Down the Middle EDIT: Lib made a factory (non-drilled though) version for 2010. You can grab it online at “>US Outdoor Store. |
