ALASKA ALASKA ALASKA

When I told Mikey that I wish I could shoot FLOW in Colorado, I wish I could do it in Alaska, and it came true, as expected, Boss, Dale (Leberg).So, I decided to go to Alaska for a month with a XNUMX-day schedule of at least one job that seems to be a job.The extra XNUMX weeks are already exploring.I want to snowboard here as much as possible in a place where I'm scared of the wild world and snowboarding.I have a strong feeling.A place I've always admired. ..

Yes, this time I chose the legendary (?) To Alaska via Hawaii!

I've always missed a good ticket just before, but this time I was forced to go through two places and chose Seattle. ..Arriving at Anchorage in about two days while spending the night at the airport for the first time

FLOW TRAVEL BAGS & KEEN's HOWSERXNUMX Sandals up to Hawaii This is excellent from Seattle. ..

Jet lag and blurring due to two-day travel.Speaking of which, I was next to my XNUMX-year-old Ji-chan on an airplane, and I heard that this person was funky and historical, so I could hear a lot of stories. ..It was a dentist. ..I also showed you four implants for my anterior teeth. ..I got an in-flight meal.If you come to Seattle, you can stay overnight!There is a lake and there are boats so do you do water skiing!I felt once again the size of the world when I was invited to play by my XNUMX-year-old grandpa.When asked about my view of religion, I like Buddhism and Shinto, and I don't force anything.The Dalai Lama is interesting, isn't it? I was overtaken by the Dalai Lama or the Dalai Lama's wisdom tooth when he was XNUMX XNUMX years ago.When.Hey!And to the wife next door.My wife also said, "Yes, that's right." It was an interesting Hawaii-Seattle section.The first flight the next morning after arriving in Seattle at night. ..Even the round trip to the hotel is troublesome.I decided to spend time at the airport, which is open XNUMX hours a day.Then there were a lot of people who were staying and snoring.Sleeping on an airplane Magic = reading a book.I get sleepy as soon as I start reading.

And while I was waiting for Mikey (Bassic), Tim and photographer Aaron in Anchorage, a cool DJ CROSS came to my local Alaska and took me home and I met my bad dad for the first time. It was amazing.I couldn't speak out anymore.The vocal cords are crushed, isn't it?

When I went to the airport, I immediately noticed Tim (Humphries).What an easy-to-find guy Tim is a pretty interesting snowboarder from New Jersey, a GOPRO rider who is famous for his high level of hand-held footage and editing skills in the park.If you don't know, check it out.The spin and style are also good.I don't know if it's actually loose and motivated. No, it's more motivated than it used to be, but it's also interesting that the chara that always feels like California is sternly hit by Mikey.With Tim, it's really just pizza.

So, I got together safely, and Aaron's flight was delayed, so I went shopping during that time and ate the first hamburger this time, and arrived at Baldy's in about XNUMX hours, which was a bit of Mikey's flight.I slept in the back and jet lag. ..

Arrived in Alaska

Snow mark for a week. ..Can you go shooting?Feeling

For the time being, all the preparations before riding the helicopter at the Black Ops Valdez helicopter held by Mikey this time (explanation of the helicopter, greetings with the lecture guide of precautions, beacon training weighing, etc.) and the weather will clear up. Wait for. ..As Alaska is called a waiting game, down days continue because it is dangerous and you can not slip if the weather is not good.I love free time (or do you feel free?), So there is no problem at all.However, there is a deadline for shooting, so it would be bad if I couldn't slip.It's impossible that the dream of the last few years has come true and I can't fly even once, even though it's the dream of XNUMX days of helicopter boarding for sponsors.

So, two days have passed.In the meantime, I was writing my last blog. ..

On the XNUMXrd day, when I thought that it was going to break out, I suddenly flew.

Dismembered dismembered dismembered dismembered….This is all right!

After slipping in DreamSession, this is the next one.

Even after that, I can't keep up with my memory like this, a world where I can't keep up with it. Suddenly it's flat, it's a sluff with a speed and amount that doesn't hurt, it's just too good for the time being, and I can't really remember it, it's a waste.Take a quick look at the line from the air and start.that's why.Decide the line and action, talk to Mikey and Tim, talk to Aaron wirelessly and shoot. ..Alaska, it's dangerous to attack, so it's really tried. ..I was definitely a little nervous.Maybe it's just right to think that I was attacked more.Really, I don't want to die now.Yaba.It feels like.Suddenly there.

Don't worry, you can enjoy helicopter boarding without any danger if you are safe.

Only a few people do dangerous things with helicopter boarding.

Dangers that are impossible for those who are not prepared can be safely made possible by having experience and preparation.I'm trying to raise that level, but it's always a big risk and a play (work) that doesn't hurt.When.Helicopter guides and pilots.The most dangerous. ..

Tim is also a park rider, but he's really happy to be able to helicopter in Alaska and is trying to absorb it.The relaxed positive vibes that are a little bit chara are the best because they are smart and smart and good at surfing.

As you slide down the ridge, you'll find a snowmobile crew. ..

Will if you think of someone!A companion who has been skating together at Baldy's for the last three years.Last year we drove to Seattle together and the first was WHC in New Zealand.A miracle friend who has been skating together once a year since then.Encounter with us on a glacier in the depths of such a mountain.too cool. ..

Will, Keirin, Ian, Jeremy ,, Tim, Aaron, Mikey ... It seems that it was scientifically proven that similar people are easy to make friends, but I thought it was absolutely like that in Alaska. One scene of.

No helicopter hamper in Alaska

But unsatisfactory slip

I have to start over again

From yesterday today than today tomorrow

This dream still continues
