The Art of Flight

CLICK TO SEE VIDEO - The Art of Flight
I wanted this to be my first post for several reason. Starting with the fact that the movie has one of the most talented riders, Travis Rice staring. More importantly though, the video show people  how much more there is to snowboarding. Behind the scenes, setting up for trips and tricks, and all the planning that is required off and on the mountain, and truly how liberating but deadly it can be. It also shows, that snowboarding can be a form of express even if your not boarding. It allows people to find their inner board in many different ways.

Another part of that video that I love is just the fact they are riding on lines that no other person had made. Heli-boarding into dangerous terrain for the pure passion and thrill of hitting a line that no one else has ever touched. That is crazy and such a dream of mine, because its one thing to go to a ski resort. But its a whole different planet when you are going off the beaten path to find runs, where you have to be creative and express yourself on runs not made by another man. To make a trail out of nothing, its the purest form of creative expression, freedom, and just absolute love for the sport. I encourage any person who feel they have may have reached their full expression on a normal mountain to pursue that from of snowboarding.
