I have been told by some of you that when I write about snowboarding, you tune out on those days. If you are one of these people, then today is a good day to skip over on the blog. See you tomorrow.
However, if you’re not one of these people, and you enjoy exceedingly cool things, then you’re going to want to take 6 minutes and — at the very least — watch Part III of the above video. Travis Rice is one of the best. And in this Red Bull video he goes from BC to Wyoming. (If for whatever reason it doesn’t start in the right place, click here and fast forward to 7:22 for Part III.)
I once heard Quentin Tarantino say that if you choose the right song for the right scene in a movie, you’ll never be able to listen to that song ever again without thinking of the movie. (Think Pulp Fiction.) Now, this isn’t a movie per se, but it definitely feels like one of those cases. This techno song will forever remind me of this psycho “pillow” run.
This former snowboarder thanks you for this video (I still have my first board, a 1989 Burton). Super exciting and inspirational!
Why former? My wife and I had to switch over to skis soon after we introduced our girls to the Rockies; they quickly became too fast for us.

You should frame that 1989 board. Brighton (in Utah) has a great wall installation showing the evolution of boards since the beginning.
