Snowboard Mag Interview with Travis Rice
"I guess you have to start with the fact that Alaska is a battle of mind and matter. Because there are so many options when you are looking at what you want to ride. You can get as big and gnarly as you want and that weighs on the mental side of things. Being able to relax and ride with confidence is one of the biggest obstacles to overcome. And then you have all the dangers of course. Also, is the logistical side of things-the planning, timing the sun, having a good support crew. I mean you have to plan for the worst up here and having trust in your crew is beyond essential. But then after all of the scary shit comes the pure joy of it. Boardin' man! You get a lot of freeriding in, even when you are filming. Because in other situations when I am filming it's pretty much getting to the zone and working a lot, hiking and hitting jumps. Here you're just fucking riding-it just happens that they are filming it."
