00:00:26I feel like I'm at the point where I kind of need to open up my eyes and
00:00:29see what else there is to offer in skiing.
00:01:06The morning is the most fired up point of the day that I'll be for sure.
00:01:10I'm shaking, I'm ready to go.
00:01:18The morning you're driving out, you feel like I already started creating a list of places
00:01:23you want to go and lines you want to ski.
00:01:38Every time you hike up, you're going to try something new, hit it a different way, look
00:01:41at it a different way, and approach it that way.
00:01:43You can go through your memories and be like, well, I skied something like this and this
00:01:47is how it fell.
00:01:48Maybe it'll be like that if I find this line or maybe it'll be like that if I found that
00:01:52line.
00:01:52But you never, never know until you're actually out there and then you're on top of it.
00:02:01I'm trying to ratchet back into my life.
00:02:06I pray that you'll come around and scratch out my eyes.
00:02:11Sing them the love that these tears can't scratch.
00:02:25Visualizing where you want to ski and just imagining yourself doing it and really feeling confident
00:02:30and being able to step up to that challenge to ski what you've imagined, that's a very
00:02:36big part of it for me.
00:02:37I really enjoy that.
00:02:47You'll see like, wait, I could get through there and that's not as exposed as I thought
00:02:50it was and I could get through there and all of a sudden it starts piecing together and
00:02:54you realize you're like, wait, I could do this.
00:03:12Was it fun?
00:03:13So fast!
00:03:15So fun with this riding again.
00:03:17Good.
00:03:26Good.

00:07:35Oh, yeah
00:07:35Oh, yeah
00:08:05Oh, dogs!
00:08:12The freak took my goggles.
00:08:16You know what?
00:08:17Going on a pow trip with Sean Pettit.
00:08:22Hello my friends.
00:08:27Stop it.
00:08:28Stop it.
00:08:29You know, there's just no way to keep up with him.
00:08:34It kind of makes me feel a little bit old actually, but I'm only 26, so yeah.
00:08:40He's got so much energy and he can land everything.
00:08:50And it's frustrating and inspiring at the same time.
00:08:53We are in Niseko, Japan.
00:08:56What the f**king Chinese down here?
00:09:20If you have two words to describe the last 15 days, what would they be?
00:09:29I'm sure everyone else would say the same thing, just deep pow.
00:09:36Two words would be like pow fun, fun pow, fun pow, fun pow, fun pow.
00:09:50Snow is like pretty much nonstop here.
00:09:54Never seen snow this hard in my life anywhere in the world.
00:09:58That's a good one.
00:10:03Maybe.
00:10:03Go.
00:10:05Go.
00:10:13Go.
00:10:19Go.
00:10:21Go.
00:10:23Go.
00:10:24Go.
00:11:51It's so much different from what I'm usually skiing all year.
00:11:55I'm usually skiing in B.C. or in Alaska, where it's all big lines, big cliffs.
00:12:00It's got to be clear.
00:12:02And here, you just come out every day.
00:12:04It's snowing.
00:12:05Terrain's so much different from what we're used to skiing.
00:12:08So it's a really nice little switch-up, little change.
00:12:11I have a chance to not just air off giant cliffs, I have a chance to play around, get creative
00:12:16a little bit.
00:12:44It's just so good.
00:12:44So
00:21:34yeah.
00:21:39Wow.
00:21:41Zeux.
00:21:52There's a few lines out here that I've been looking at for four or five years it's always
00:21:57interesting like on the sunniest days thinking about maybe today will be the
00:22:01day I get to ski that line I've been looking at for so long I have pictures
00:22:05of it on my computer and dreaming about it thinking about the toe in getting out
00:22:11so that's what you got to do you got to prepare your mind for you know the big
00:22:15challenges the lines that you want to step up to
00:22:25Out of sight, out of feeling
00:22:32It's impossible
00:22:35It's impossible
00:22:40It's impossible
00:22:42It's impossible
00:22:43It's impossible
00:22:57It's impossible
00:22:58and comfortable in this in this area just because I've spent quite a few weeks
00:23:03out of the last few years and have a good idea of what what's out there you've
00:23:07been looking at this line called the catcher's mitt for for three years now
00:23:10every time we've flown by talked about it non-stop we haven't really heard the
00:23:14end of it since you saw for the first time we got there snow is good and Jason
00:23:18the pilot got him in this this gnarly towing
00:23:32before he went to top it all off this giant eagle flew right over him as a sign
00:23:36like this is meant to be on that exact day
00:24:14so stoked for him and he was so stoked to finally get the opportunity to after
00:24:18three years of wanting that line to to get it done
00:24:30my friend the hippie says it's best and I'll give him full credit for it
00:24:34braille is not really a talent it's more of a feeling and basically being here
00:24:38longer and longer you spend time here the more and more you get out of it
00:24:45this last month was just insane X Games was one of the coolest experiences of my
00:24:50life this is Bobby Brown got the chance to compete in big air and slow down good
00:24:54action going on here winner X 14 what do you got Bobby
00:25:12that's the first time that has ever been done switch double missy 1440 and there it is 100 perfect score
00:25:20for Bobby Brown oh my goodness Bobby Brown wanting a victory lap
00:25:26You know who would fall back right there?
00:25:28Our good friend Shane McConkey.
00:25:30There's got to be at least 10,000 people at the bottom of this course.
00:25:34Mr. Bobby Brown.
00:25:36Last night, we'll just keep talking about it in the history books,
00:25:38is jumps that have never been done before,
00:25:40and Bobby earned his first gold.
00:25:41If he's able to get a gold medal here today,
00:25:43he'll be the first skier in skiing history at the X Games to double gold.
00:25:54Switch right side, Misty 900,
00:25:56and now look for double fast from Bobby Brown.
00:26:01Into the switch double, Misty.
00:26:041260, Bobby Brown.
00:26:06He is on a mission, and the new name, the new face of Freeski,
00:26:10and I'm saying it right now.
00:26:11Bobby Brown, two golds in two disciplines in two days.
00:26:15It's just been crazy nonstop, nonstop busyness, action,
00:26:18just boom, boom, boom, contest, contest, contest.
00:26:25Then you get up here in the Alps.
00:26:32It's so nice just to come out here with my friends and the SIT crew
00:26:35and have no pressure and just kind of chill out
00:26:38and have a great time out here just trying to get shots.
00:27:00All right.
00:27:01We are on Teamihank Society,
00:27:01We are on Teamihank Society in general.
00:27:02When you are at osob,
00:27:03we are on Teamihank Society,
00:27:05we are on Teamihank Society."
00:27:05We are on Teamihank Society deep in the classroom.
00:27:14If you are at Lewis time at their,
00:27:18So we cruised up to Idaho, Sun Valley area, we took some sleds out into the Sawtooth.
00:27:24It was an insane zone.
00:27:26I was just super stoked on the day, I was having a great day and I made a bad decision
00:27:29and hit a jump that I shouldn't have hit.
00:27:31Went a little too fast into a feature and overshot the jump completely.
00:27:43I had three compression fractures in my spine and then I fractured my pelvis.
00:27:47I went to the doctor right after that happened and he just said I'd probably be out for two
00:27:52and a half months at least.
00:27:54But somehow I healed pretty quick.
00:27:56I went and got x-rays just to see if I could go cruise around and just get back on
00:28:00my skis
00:28:00and the x-rays looked good and the doctor gave me the go ahead to take it easy on Mammoth.
00:28:19I was just going to take it mellow but my back was feeling good so I decided to go a
00:28:23little
00:28:23more, a little harder than I thought but yeah, I was feeling great.
00:28:28So we are at Alyaska in Alaska and we're just getting ready to do a park shoot.
00:28:33The crew is Richard Perman.
00:28:52Russ Henshaw.
00:29:20Myself.
00:29:21You got it all, got what you need, that you need it all, hey, tell me what you want, you
00:29:33can't have it free, but how much you want, how much you need, I don't give a fuck what
00:29:41you're getting with, unless you're crying, let me take your home, let me take your home,
00:29:51let me take your home, let me come here and take your home, let me come here and take
00:29:56your home, let me take your home, take your home, take your home, take your home, take
00:30:05your home...
00:30:07We're sitting here in Alyeska, Alaska, they set up a huge hundred foot jump.
00:30:16It was like, and just, yeah, a douche.
00:30:24Probably going to be going like 120, the sweet spot, 115.
00:30:27It's pretty big.
00:30:28I showed up late.
00:30:30I got here the day after the big session on a big deal, which turned out to be a big
00:30:35deal.
00:30:35First night, we just went up there, and we're expecting to kind of have like a mellow sort
00:30:40of getting used to it, and that was not how it went at all.
00:30:44Bobby did a straight air for his first hit and a double cork 10 for his second hit, and
00:30:48that pretty much just set the mood for the entire night.
00:30:53Woo!
00:30:55Oh, my God!
00:30:58Holy shit.
00:30:59That's the biggest jump I've ever hit.
00:31:02Oh, my God.
00:31:03That's sick.
00:31:05Ah!
00:31:37Oh, my God.
00:31:45Oh, my God.
00:31:50Oh, my God.
00:31:52Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming.
00:31:54Coming loose at the seams.
00:31:58Blind spot.
00:32:00Voice that.
00:32:01Control's gone.
00:32:03We're like a balloon.
00:32:04Carrying up.
00:32:06In motion.
00:32:08Distance
00:32:09It grows now
00:32:10And I
00:32:13Wait for me

00:32:36Kiss me then I wake up
00:32:38It was like one person was feeding off the next person
00:32:41And everyone was getting pumped up
00:32:46Such a big jump, so much hang time
00:32:49Whoo
00:32:51We all kind of saw it coming
00:32:52We knew Bobby wanted to do it
00:32:54And just saw it in his eyes that he was going to do it
00:32:56And he just dropped in and
00:32:58Boom
00:33:04Can I reach for me
00:33:05All I got
00:33:07All I got
00:33:08Is my God

00:33:22favorites you fond
00:33:24Kiss me then I wake up
00:33:26Gus was going crazy
00:33:27He did a double cork 16-20, which has only been landed one time before.
00:33:43Russ Henshaw is insane.
00:33:46He got so close to landing a really dope triple cork 16-20.
00:33:58He's gnarly.
00:34:04I don't think anyone expected the session to go as crazy as it did.
00:34:09I think we were all kind of like in shock about it.
00:34:12Like couldn't even really believe it happened until a little after when it kind of set in.
00:34:18It was amazing. First time I've ever shot with a helicopter.
00:34:22First time I've ever been to Alaska.
00:34:25First time I've ever been this stoked.
00:34:28This is hands down the best two hours of my life.
00:34:31I've had the most fun in this last 120 minutes and I will never forget this moment.
00:34:37I got here and everybody was like, oh man, this is the second session of all time.
00:34:42Oh my God, I could die happy.
00:34:44And I was like, cool, are we going to hit it again?
00:34:48And I was like, I don't know man, it's hard to top that.
00:34:51I was like, oh cool, I'll be here and we know if we get to hit it again or whatever.
00:34:56Cool.
00:35:01Day 13, the snow keeps getting deeper.
00:35:08So basically if you get into this place you drive to the top of Rogers Pass.
00:35:12Hop in a heli.
00:35:15They fly you 10 minutes to the lodge.
00:35:19And they basically drop you off in what looks like to be the middle of nowhere.
00:35:24And then the heli takes off and it's just you and your crew and your cabin.
00:35:28And that's where you're chilling for two weeks.
00:35:34This place is amazing.
00:35:36It just keeps pounding every day.
00:35:39And it's just you and me shredding.
00:35:42That's right, honey.
00:35:46I think the idea behind going to Meadows was just a chance to kind of switch up how we access
00:35:53these lines that we usually ski.
00:35:55So rather than using like a helicopter or a sled or a chairlift, it was going to a zone where
00:36:01it was purely just by hiking around using our skins and our two feet.
00:36:06And when you're just walking around at that pace, you really get to appreciate the smaller things around you.
00:36:11When you have that appreciation, the place really starts to come alive.
00:36:23One of the best features about a lodge like this is that you wake up in the morning and you're
00:36:28basically exactly where you need to be to start skiing.
00:36:31Above us we've got dope alpine.
00:36:33Below us we've got banger pillows.
00:36:41This afternoon we've got.
00:36:43We've got a velocidade one.ORDIN'
00:36:52It'so.
00:37:09Thinking스트�omacy,
00:38:41Turn on your computer.
00:38:42You can't call anyone.
00:38:43It's cool to come up here and just step back and realize how simple it can be and how little
00:38:48you need to really have a great time.
00:40:20This year at Squaw, the patrollers were so amazing.
00:40:23I mean, it dumped so much and they were just out early every morning making it safe.
00:40:28And for me, that's amazing.
00:40:30I just get to head to the hill, whether it's dumping or bluebird pow day, not worry about
00:40:35anything except for going out there and shredding.
00:40:40We got to film a lot at Squaw in the local Tahoe backcountry.
00:40:44And I got to ski a bunch with my brother Arnie.
00:40:47It's sunny out.
00:40:48I'm here with my brother Arnie.
00:40:49And yeah, pretty much, we're totally stoked.
00:40:54Winner's on.
00:41:04When you have a year like this, where it dumps this hard, the energy level's really high.
00:41:09And it was so much fun to get out there with Timmy and JT and everyone.
00:41:15Alabama, Arkansas, I do love my mom and pa, not the way that I do love you.
00:41:23Well, holy moly, real life, you're the apple of my eye.
00:41:28Girl, I never loved one like you.
00:41:31Man, oh man, you're my best friend, I scream it too.
00:41:35There's nothing there, there ain't nothing that I need.
00:41:40Well, hot and heavy, pumped and ripe, chopped and came to Jesus Christ.
00:41:45There ain't nothing pleased me more than you.
00:41:48Home, let me come home.
00:41:53Home is wherever I'm with you.
00:41:57Home, let me come home.
00:42:01Home is wherever I'm with you.
00:42:10Home.
00:42:12Home.
00:42:17Home!
00:42:17Home.
00:42:21Home.
00:42:21Home.
00:42:36I got to ski with Arnie more than I have in a really long time this season and just incredible
00:42:42to have that time, you know, watching the sun rise on a bluebird pow day and getting
00:42:48to watch him rip.
00:43:07If I wasn't sure about something, I could look over and he'd give me the nod like, yeah,
00:43:12you got this.
00:43:12And then I'm like, all right.
00:43:13It was just skiing with a way better version of myself.
00:43:26One of the most amazing things about Arnie for me is he never did anything half-assed.
00:43:32He believed that having pride in something and doing it well, no matter what it was,
00:43:38was part of a life well lived, and that means that being a good skier is an important part
00:43:45of being a good person.
00:43:47That is a worthy path in life that showed in his skiing and the way he carried himself
00:43:52in the mountains.
00:44:07Skiing with Arnie this season in Tahoe was one of the most precious gifts I could ever
00:44:12imagine and I'll remember it for the rest of my life.
00:44:14The home is where I'm home.
00:44:16Home is wherever I'm with you.
00:44:18Ah home, yes I am home.
00:44:23Home is when I'm alone with you.
00:44:27Home is when I'm alone with you.
00:45:05So we're having a lot of fun in Tahoe, but it's kind of the end of March.
00:45:09It was time to head up to BC, it was supposed to get really good there.
00:45:12Drove up to meet with Rory Bishfield and go out sledding.
00:45:15She just came to town and had a pretty rough go of it.
00:45:19Our first day out, we didn't really get too many shots, we just kind of scouted.
00:45:23Then at the end of that day, Ingrid had her ski strapped on the sled wrong, so she was
00:45:28doing a turn with the pal and ripped both the heel pieces out of these new skis that apparently
00:45:33she can't get any of, you know.
00:45:35She takes the next day off, Gaffney and I go out, we get a couple good shots.
00:45:48I missed a bluebird day off, I got a new pair of skis, got them mounted up, drive
00:45:52into the ski area to test them out and I crunched my car.
00:45:55So we go out the next day, second run, Ingrid, it's like, I don't know, 9 in the morning.
00:46:01I see an air that I'm kind of stoked on, I hit it, I crash really hard.
00:46:10I knew I did something to my Achilles right away, but they're like, oh, maybe you just
00:46:14tore a calf muscle.
00:46:15I'm like, yeah, maybe I just tore a calf muscle.
00:46:17So Rory hit another line, tomahawked really bad.
00:46:25At that point, we knew we just had to get out of there.
00:46:28And on the way back, I ended up having a little bit of sled trouble.
00:46:32Is it impossible to shine in this dark world we live in?
00:46:35I get to Ingrid, and she's hobbled away from her sled, like she can barely move.
00:46:41And she's just like, my skis, that's the first snowmobile I ever bought.
00:46:49It was an uninsured sled that I'd rented from my buddy.
00:46:53It became mine in the course of the day.
00:46:58It was so sad.
00:47:02I couldn't help her laugh.
00:47:07So that took us a while.
00:47:18By the time I got my boot off, it was pretty clear I didn't have an Achilles tendon, and
00:47:22that was the end of my season.
00:47:24But it was good until that point.
00:47:30Actually, we are in Juneau, Alaska, and we're going to British Columbia in Tulsa,
00:47:35where it's kind of in the middle of nowhere.
00:47:37Here it's a pretty good mountain and big mountain stuff, so yeah, I enjoy.
00:47:44Flying here the first days, looking at the mountains, the feeling was like, wow, it's huge, so big mountains.
00:47:53It's really amazing because, like, you got all the exposure, and then once you're done with it, you still got
00:47:59the whole mountain to ski down.
00:48:00It's not just like, spines to finish, it's spines to mountain to finish.
00:48:04Woohoo!
00:48:06Look at this mountain range, it's huge!
00:48:17We are so lucky.
00:48:18I was almost throwing up on the start.
00:48:22You decide, you make the choice.
00:48:24If it feels good, it's going to be good.
00:48:26Yeah.
00:48:29Yeah, I feel.
00:48:32Oh, beautiful.
00:48:36Okay, boys.
00:48:48I got a little bit scared.
00:48:50It was variable snow.
00:49:11Oh, that was super fun.
00:49:15What's Richard doing?
00:49:17Crazy shit here?
00:49:19Yeah!
00:49:23Yeah, buddy!
00:49:34Oh, that was great.
00:49:42Yeah!
00:49:44Hey, look, I'm here.
00:49:45Come on now!
00:49:46Don't bet!
00:49:50Yeah, Rich!
00:50:00Yeah, Riches!
00:50:25I just have a drive to ski and do my best.
00:50:30I want to go out there and do gnarly lines and ski hard and push it.
00:50:36I love it and I love skiing and it just comes and I know I can crash.
00:50:41It can happen any run, I can do a major crash and I'm well aware of that.
00:50:58I love skiing and I'm not sure.
00:51:07I love you too.
00:51:23We're pushing the limits all the time.
00:51:26Sometimes the small mistakes can end up in a big mistake.
00:51:30Me and Sverig got work that day.
00:51:33We tumbled down the mountain and it was serious.
00:51:36I love you too.
00:52:04I love you too.
00:52:12When everything calms down here on the radio that Sverig is fine, but he had a huge crash.
00:52:18I'm okay.
00:52:19He pulled his snow pulse bag and the balloon had went off.
00:52:24It was just crazy times and I'm still at the top.
00:52:29I started skiing his spine, sloughing on both sides felt great.
00:52:34And then I was planning to cut skiers right.
00:52:37They had to jump through some rocks and it was hard snow where I landed and I gained so much
00:52:43speed.
00:52:44And yeah, that was it.
00:52:45I did pretty much the same crash as my best friend.
00:52:48I did pretty much the same road.
00:52:49Oops.
00:52:51Same thing.
00:52:53Do your eyes, your reflection.
00:53:03Up, up, up.
00:53:04We have to go down.
00:53:05Oh, he cleared it.
00:53:08It's okay.
00:53:12You're okay Kai.
00:53:16It felt so stupid.
00:53:18The choice I made during the run.
00:53:21But it's really like a millisecond in your head when you're skiing a spine and thinking
00:53:26how are you going out there.
00:53:28The snow was harder and I gained speed and that was it.
00:53:32It happens really fast.
00:53:34After that we had two days off I think and we're trying to regroup a little bit.
00:53:39I don't think there was much problem going out again.
00:53:43I just have a drive to ski.
00:53:45If it happens why shouldn't I try the next day again.
00:53:49And so yesterday it was Bluebird again and we went up and I felt like okay let's do a warm
00:53:56-up run.
00:53:56You know, a little bit easier.
00:53:58So we skid.
00:53:59And we skid together.
00:54:07We had a great time.
00:54:09I was singing down spine like woohoo.
00:54:14But then the shit show started.
00:54:17There's nothing to do worse, but there's nothing to do worse.
00:54:42There's nothing to do.
00:54:43You're going to watch a little bit longer.
00:55:01I've never pulled that airbag yet since I pulled it twice and two runs and it's just crazy it was
00:55:11just I don't know I guess maybe we were a little bit over positive but at the same time we
00:55:19we didn't do
00:55:20anything crazy you know so yeah I think we did pretty much what we what we could do here of
00:55:25course
00:55:25some guys took a few hits but that could have happened in any scenario you know it hasn't
00:55:31been easy but it's been great a lot of emotions in every run you know a lot of respect for
00:55:37the
00:55:37mountains tensions nervousness and happiness for me this trip has been the ultimate free ride trip
00:55:45it's been amazing hey Colby West here and the way I see it I'm all business this year

00:59:23you
00:59:23ready for the most because I'm ever done in ski I broke my pants cruise down a mammoth where I
00:59:39did a hand
00:59:39drag then I missed a grab
00:59:43yeah
00:59:52then it was off to Alaska
00:59:58vibes
01:00:00just got here yesterday apparently the boys killed it without me which is pretty hard to do but I'm
01:00:05gonna hit this sucker and show the youngins how we do it
01:00:12it's not what I pictured my first trip to Alaska being for but I'll take it it's a really nice
01:00:19kicker actually here comes Bob
01:00:28I'm thinking it's a sign
01:00:31but the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly alive
01:00:38I have to speculate
01:00:42that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the truth
01:00:50it may seem like a stretch but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away
01:00:58when I am missing you to death when you are out there on the road for several weeks of shows
01:01:06and when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you
01:01:11they will see us waiting for such a great lights come down now they'll stay
01:01:22but everything is perfect from far away come down now
01:01:29but they'll stay
01:01:33there was a massive ski nut gallery watching yesterday when we were sessioning the jump
01:01:39there was this one chick who was just going off like every time you get the slide
01:01:42she's like oh my gosh that was sick
01:01:45they're just cheering us on stoked to see a big jump built at their home mountain
01:01:48we'll hear the shrilling ties and lowest blows when the window's down when this is guiding you on
01:01:55they will see us waiting from such a late heights come down now
01:02:03they'll stay
01:02:04they'll stay
01:02:06but everything else perfect from far away come down now
01:02:13come down now
01:02:15and we'll stay
01:02:15this way
01:02:29the overall experience was intense
01:02:33Luscious, dangerous, and organic.
01:02:57Yes!
01:03:07I'm here! Excuse me.
01:03:14I think one of the coolest aspects of skiing for me is the opportunity just to go travel to new
01:03:19parts of the world or new mountain ranges.
01:03:31Once you get to those places, you're basically just managing and walking your way around the hill and just like
01:03:36poking your head around the next corner.
01:03:37And that's what it is for me. It's just like looking around the next corner.
01:03:40When you do get around that corner and you see that zone.
01:04:10What happened this year was just going off, you know?
01:04:11He was teeing up everything.
01:04:15Every trip we went on, he was just sending it.
01:04:17He was so driven, just going for these big airs.
01:04:23Not necessarily stomping, but he was going for it.
01:04:25Either way, every time, every trip.
01:04:31He was so active.
01:04:31Yeah?
01:04:56Not You!!
01:04:56Yeah!
01:05:00So yesterday I was skiing around in one of my new favorite zones.
01:05:05And I got to ski a line that we've been lining up for a couple of weeks.
01:05:10Skiing down and it was cruisy and fun and just having the time of my life.
01:05:15Went to the bottom air, threw a three, one of the funner threes I've ever thrown.
01:05:26And I guess I just over-rotated just a little bit and that's when it popped.
01:05:30Oh no, oh no.
01:05:33I knew right away just with how unstable my knee was that it was, she was gone.
01:05:40So get surgery as soon as possible.
01:05:42In the meantime I'm just going to make the most of what I got and look forward to shredding
01:05:47again next year.
01:05:49Me too man.
01:05:51Me too man.
01:05:52You know you got to give the guy a lot of credit, he went down swinging.
01:06:19You know there's a silver lining to Abner getting injured.
01:06:22He was originally supposed to go to Alaska with Henrik Winstead on a Solomon trip.
01:06:27Guess who got the call?
01:06:30Yes, me.
01:06:32I got the call.
01:06:34I'm still pretty bummed that Abner's not here.
01:06:36I wish Abner was here.
01:06:38Abner where are you?
01:06:41It's kind of funny because the way I see it, those guys at MSP, they almost ruined my dream
01:06:46of being a pro skier.
01:06:49You see, five years ago those dicks told me I was going to be in a ski movie.
01:06:53I was stoked.
01:06:55My sponsors were stoked.
01:06:56I called my grandma was stoked.
01:06:57But then the edit came out.
01:06:59And all they used was crashes.
01:07:04I looked like a freaking idiot.
01:07:08Seeing ski and hockey cliffs, it's really good.
01:07:19So it's five years later.
01:07:21Ammo blows his knee.
01:07:22I got the call.
01:07:24Seemed like a good time for a little bit of redemption.
01:07:27My name's Cody Townsend.
01:07:29I was a quarterback in high school.
01:07:33And I wear orange pants.
01:07:35Orange pants.
01:07:36My name is Henrik Winstead.
01:07:38I'm the swid out here.
01:07:40Henrik.
01:07:41He's so hot right now.
01:07:42I'm skiing in the green pants.
01:07:45Green pants.
01:07:46And we're here in AK.
01:08:01The snow in Alaska can be a gamble.
01:08:04And we've hit the jackpot here.
01:08:07You know, the first day we came here, we had one of the best days of my life skiing for
01:08:12sure.
01:08:12And Cody claimed it was his best day ever.
01:08:15That was the day I've been dreaming of since the first time I saw Alaska in a ski movie.
01:08:40When you finally get to that commitment point where you're like, I got this, that's when the nerves start kicking
01:08:45in.
01:08:46And you're like, okay.
01:08:47It's on.
01:08:48I'm about to do this.
01:08:49If you just drop in and get on that spine that just skiers right down below you.
01:08:55Uh, right below me, I can't see jack shit.
01:08:59If you just take it from there, then you should be all good.
01:09:02You just gotta watch the rehearsal.
01:09:03That's fine.
01:09:04Um, cool.
01:09:27That was pretty sick.
01:09:45Bye.
01:09:46Bye.
01:09:54Bye.
01:09:55Bye.
01:09:58Look into what you love
01:10:03And how does it feel to have young
01:10:11The gift that she gave was given to be given away
01:10:31Tell me all of your good reasons
01:10:35Tell me every word you say
01:10:38I'm giving you all the best seasons
01:10:42Ready for the night today
01:10:45I'm going out of my mind since I've seen you
01:10:48Tell me all I've got to live this way
01:10:59Yeah Henrik, what time is it?
01:11:01Time of my life!
01:11:02Yeah buddy

01:11:40Tell me every word you say
01:11:43I'm giving you all the best seasons
01:11:47I'm running through that night today
01:11:50I'm going out of my mind since I've seen you
01:11:53Tell me how I've got to live this way
01:12:08That looks scary
01:12:09That is scary
01:12:11That's why it's fun
01:12:12That's why I'm all
01:12:12Got a smile on my face right now
01:12:16Amazing man
01:12:16Oh my god
01:12:18I've been waiting for that my whole life
01:12:20I hate this word
01:12:21But it's nothing short of that thing
01:12:23We're you
01:12:24We're you
01:12:50Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:12:57Oh, no, no, no.
01:13:04Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:13:08Yeah.

01:13:16Good times.
01:13:19Good times.
01:13:54You alright, Hammer? I'm so dizzy.
01:14:02This is you and me shredding.
01:14:05That's right, honey.
01:14:06Loving each other.
01:14:12Come on and kick me.
01:14:15You got your problems.

01:14:27I got my ass wipe.
01:14:36I can't help my boogies.
01:14:39I get out of control.
01:14:40I know that you don't care, but I want you to know.
01:14:44The meat stocking flavor is your favorite treat.
01:14:48Maybe I don't bother with the taste of the teach.
01:14:54Come on and kick me.
01:15:02I want to know what love is.
01:15:05I want you to show me.
01:15:08It's like my favorite song and I can't jump to anything else.
01:15:10I want you to watch me.
