Speaking of planet earth, Red Bull shredders and all around best buddies, Travis Rice and Zach Leach were tuning up their surf skills down in Costa Rica for the last few weeks. I guess both guys deserve a little break after the crazy season!
Click here to get to the teaser!
From around the world, the crew had gathered in the tiny island nation of Japan for a trip that only Red Bull could pull off. We are chasing the world’s best snow all over Japan until we have had our fill. Chuck Olbery from Hokkaido Powder Guides met us with our transportation and we were off. The sky was dark and the snow was puking. We had about 2 hours until we reached out lodge, which was nestled at the end of a road halfway up a volcano.
Flight time was set for 11am a non-stop LA to Tokyo and the crew was already looking like the weather was taking them down. Canceled flights, delays, mechanical problems and then traffic.
It was going to be tight Shaun was on his was from LA and the Cabby was told to get him there...

It was a Superpipe final for the record books. Classic Winter X weather meant snow was dumping all through the finals. Shaun was on fire for the practice session and brought that heat into the biggest snowboarding contest in the world.
As Shaun dropped into his first run the crowd went wild! With snow flying and Shaun ripping, his run was off the charts. Going huge on his first hit and then rolling into McTwist to frontside 1080 to cab 1080 to frontside 900 to backside 900 then sealing the victory with a huge frontside 1080!
This was one of the biggest victories for Shaun, grabbing gold again and continuing his Winter X domination. The town of Aspen better be ready from some celebration!
What did you guys think was the best part of the run! (Post a Comment!)
Travis will be at the Aspen Quiksilver store for the release. Until then, check out his other teaser!
What was supposed to be a small gathering turned into all night wildness. The who’s who of snowboarding were on the scene. Shaun White, Travis Rice, Pat Moore, Zach Leach, Iouri Podladchikov, Heikki Sorsa and of course the coolest, Marie-France Roy!
