Snowboard Heaven – Japan Snow – The Search for Perfection in 4K

If like me, you are sitting in a boiling hot South Africa and dreaming of deep Pow and colder climes, you might not want to watch this video. Filled with the most glorious powder conditions you could ever dream of, it has me pining for some snowboarding action.

Explore Japan with GoPro athletes John Jackson and Chris Benchetler as they seek to find a moment of perfection in the snow. Follow the journey from the bustling city of Tokyo, to the rural beauty in Hakuba, and finally to the wintery north island of Hokkaido as they find endless fields of untracked powder.

Burton presents Backcountry – Free Snowboard Film

On Friday I brought you the trailer for the first of a series of short films by Burton, Backcountry. Here is the film for your enjoyment. I loved it. Great cast, epic backcountry Pow and a good soundtrack.

Burton’s four-part web series, [SNOWBOARDING] kicks off today with the release of the first episode, BACKCOUNTRY. This episode takes you deep into the mountains of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, Switzerland, and beyond. Featuring the riding of Jussi Oksanen, Terje Haakonsen, Jeremy Jones, Nicolas Müller, Mikey Rencz, and Mark Sollors, BACKCOUNTRY highlights heavy riding on massive cheesewedges, natural big mountain lines, hairy cliff drops, and soft landings. If this is an indication of what’s to come for the rest of the series, we are all in for a treat.

The Friday Mix – Taylor Knox, Pow Chaos and Mountain Bike Heaven

This week we start with, Taylor Knox, as he free surfs around Europe with my man, Paul Daniels in tow filming and editing. Taylor is off the tour now, but is definitely still one of my favorite surfers to watch.

Next up we go East with some serious Asian snow action from heart Films. Start feeling the stoke of riding Pow as our winter begins.

Lastly I have an advert for you for Whistler Mountain Bike Park, just to tease you riders and show you what we are missing out on. I reckon we could make runs like these to…

Enjoy your weekend!
