Thanks for showing how absolutely gnarly the run in is. I'm glad snowboarding finally caught on and built upon/progressed on the ideas of wild BC gaps found in Kris Ostness' old ski movies
Big brass balls on those boys! That run in looked a bit hairy. That last hit was butter 🧈 great to see! It was getting under his skin being just a few feet short each time.
Stoked to see Ben get that last shot in there! I know the feeling of all that hard work and walking away without a shot. The ability to keep going and pushing yourself is what separates these guys from the rest.
Think about this, travis first hit this jump around 06-08 when they were filming thats it thats all. Nearly 15 years later, 2 of the best snowboarders in the world right now got absolutely ragdolled before they stomped their tricks. I cant comprehend how gnarly this jump is, the speed needed on the in run just to commit to this would terrify the average snowboarder. It also is a true testament to how gnarly of a rider travis really is. He truly is the goat, the way he is able to find and then build jumps like this and stomp the shit out of them. This jump was WAY ahead of its time and I have nothing but respect for anyone who has attempted this gap.
Didn't connect the two together at first. I remember watching that scene in That's It and just being absolutely gobsmacked at how huge the gap was. I remember him on the gap in the art of flight but didn't put two and two together. Wow.
Bro this raw footage is legit more entertaining than finished edits, hands down. You really get a feel for how much work y'all put in for those clips than make the final products, in which the viewer dont understand the fkn battle you guys go through. Keep it up
The compression on that in run looked so gnarly! Love watching these battles. Legends need heaps of ice baths after a war like that 🤘. So damn sick. Thank you
I like seeing this raw footage and the riders battling it out with the booter. You see lots of this type of stuff in skate vids but I don't think I've seen much snowboard footy like this.
Love seeing how the sessions go down to get those crazy shots. It really gives a new level of insight into how gnarly you dudes are! Shit is mad, keep it up 🤟
Unreal. Rawest shit seen in a long time love that there’s no music on it puts you into it. That run up … wtf ..cannot believe the completions that was incredible to watch thanks.
Thank you for posting this. I think it is valuable and important for people to see the determination it takes to achieve something like that. It's not all glory. Those looked like some hard knocks. I'm impressed.
Sled assisted back country riding is the most amazing experience. The speedy laps of bottomless blower pow is incredible. There's also the shovelling, mostly to dig out your buddys stuck sled, but you always help out because you will be next.
Love how they take it easy on the first few jumps to warm up and get a sense of the landing. Demonstrates excellent impulse control and rational thought. Nice job gents!
Just imagine. Those guys are at the top of the game and it takes them multiple tries to finally stick a landing. Now think how much work is needed to get a 3min video part :)
