Sage Tomahawks Off A Massive Spine Wall – Behind the Line S8 E3
from Teton Gravity Research
Whether Sage is super gripped at the top of a gnarly line or in a pile of avy debris at the bottom of one, he somehow manages to stay “100%.” After sending a huge mandatory air at the bottom of Cathedral, Sage gets tomahawked and soon taken over by his slough. We’re not sure how, but he somehow manages to come out of it completely unscathed and “100% okay.”

Never Not Part 2 takes a deeper look at snowboarding, going beyond the action, the tricks, & the travel to expose the people behind the progression. By elevating the voices and viewpoints of the world’s best riders, this film taps into the snowboarding spirit, exposing audiences to the sport’s unique culture and characters. Getting up […]

Legends of La Grave: Past & Present – Behind the Line Season 7 Episode 8

In 2001 Doug Coombs and legendary local Ptor Spricenieks were some of the first people to ski the “Ice Line” in La Grave, France. Now thirteen years later, inspired by their heroes, Johnny Collinson, Ian McIntosh, & their guide Joey Vallone look to repeat this rarely skied descent.

Ptor recently reflected on his experience with Doug in 2001, “I’m pretty sure it started with a conversation by radio. Doug and I were neighbors but we never used the phone. None the less, the time for ‘that’ line on the Glacier de la Meije was at hand…something we’d been looking at and scheming about together. As usual when that magic of timing and mutual inspiration come together, the mission is effortless. Too bad we were too busy flowing along to take pictures. The memories however, are super burned into my being. I remember how awed we both were to be in the middle of such a run. Despite Doug’s casual attitude towards things, he was the most awed that I had ever seen that day. ‘Full meal deal’ I think was his superlative. Thanks Doug.”

POLY – Matt Walker
Matt Walker finds some time in the middle of his busy contest schedule to shred some mountains and show off his street skills.

Five years ago, Jeremy Jones invited a young Ryland Bell to join him in Alaska. Since that trip, Bell has traveled to the state with Jones nearly every spring. The two first met riding the chairlifts of Squaw Valley when Bell was sixteen. Not long after, he made first descents in Alaska while filming for […]

TGR EXCLUSIVE: Ryland Bell Goes Back to the Early Days
from Teton Gravity Research
This is my season edit from last winter, filmed in Japan and Alaska. In the past few years, especially last season, I feel that I have come full circle to my early days of riding in Fairbanks, Alaska when it was just my friends and me shooting each other. It’s been really fun to get away from the pressure of big budget shred flicks. I wasn’t sure if it would come together, but couldn’t be more stoked on the results.

Last fall, Jones traveled to Nepal for the largest descent of his life—a 21,400 foot peak that he dubbed the Shangri-La Spine Wall. His arrival at the foot of this peak coincided with the final weeks of Nepal’s monsoon season. While waiting for a suitable weather window in which to summit his objective, Jones had […]
