• News: Jeremy Jones' Further Se News: Jeremy Jones' Further Series Premieres On Outside Television December 13

  • From: TetonGravityResearch
  • Description:

    

    (Teton Village, Wyo.) - The award-winning producers from multimedia action sports brand Teton Gravity Research (TGR) have produced a ten-episode original series giving viewers an intense look at the personalities, adventure, drama, and excitement from two years of filming Further with Jeremy Jones. Showcasing some of the greatest snowboarding adventures on the planet, the original TV series will air exclusively on Outside Television, premiering Thursday, December 13 at 9:30pm EST with new episodes each Thursday. Outside will also provide Further fans with dual encore episodes every weekend.
    
    The second installment in the Jeremy Jones trilogy that began with Outside Television's popular series Jeremy Jones' Deeper last year, Further explores some of the world's most remote mountain terrain while continuing Jones' mission to camp deep in the backcountry and on the summits of unridden lines to access near-vertical spines and wide-open powder fields. Join Jeremy and his crew as they push their minds and bodies Further.
    
    “We've always thought this type of riding is perfect for a television series, which allows us to go more in-depth and show viewers more of these trips to tell the full story,” says Jeremy Jones. “We learned what's possible working on Deeper, and we've been able to build upon that experience with Further, both in terms of riding and the overall production.”
    
    “This is exactly the sort of flagship programming we want people to identify with Outside Television,” echoes Rob Faris, senior vice president of programming and production for Outside Television, which has been expanding rapidly through Comcast Xfinity and other systems since June. “The true success of the Jeremy Jones trilogy is the overall quality of story development, characters and production rather than devising action just for the thrill of it. We look forward to continuing this franchise even beyond Deeper and Further and are fortunate to have attracted such world-class partners as Teton Gravity Research and Jeremy Jones.”

• Into The Mind Of Dave Mossop: Into The Mind Of Dave Mossop: Heel Pieces

  • From: ryandunfee
  • Description:

    
    
    “Heel Pieces” is a column by Ryan Dunfee published twice a month on TetonGravity.com. In each entry, Dunfee tackles one of the top ski news stories of the moment in an effort to provide insight behind the hype. This week, Dunfee caught up with Sherpas Cinema director Dave Mossop to learn more about the production company's much anticipated action sports film “Into The Mind.”
    
    Into The Mind Of Dave Mossop: Heel Pieces

    The skiing internet was awash last week with fans and industry figures alike all trying to outdo each-other in stating their enthusiasm for the Sherpas Cinema trailer for "Into The Mind" that features Imagineer-level visual trickery, cinematography that would make the producers of "Planet Earth" cough up a lung, and explosive action shots set to a soundtrack of electronic and tribal beats. While the combined effect sent most into a social media sharing hysteria with captions written in caps lock, this author saw only two filmmaking phenomena historically doomed to fail: getting action sports athletes (namely skiers) to reveal anything remotely insightful from their "Minds," and casting multiple sports, in this case skiing, snowboarding, surfing, and white-water kayaking, in the same film. I took Sherpas director Dave Mossop to task on how exactly he hopes to transcend boundaries a second time with "Into The Mind."
    
    Ryan Dunfee: It’s a historical fact that no skier in history since Ernest Hemingway has ever said anything remotely insightful. By going “Into The Mind(s)” of skiers, what do you hope to reveal to the world? That they are all stoked, love skiing with friends, and feel they need to work hard to get shots?
    
    Sherpas Cinema director Dave Mossop: Any real mountain person knows that skiing and snowboarding isn’t always stoke and fun with your friends.  It’s about challenge, perseverance, freezing weather, shit conditions, and a lifetime of enduring injuries, and even death.  Yes, skiing is fun, extremely fun, but it also comes with all of humanity’s many emotions.  We want to show that living a ski or snowboarding lifestyle is one of the greatest lives on Earth, and that all these emotions play a role in taking you to your ultimate potential.
    
    RD: Can you explain, mechanically, how you guys achieved those motion sickness-inducing rolling circle shots?
    
    DM: Stick, camera, tape. This is all you need. Tape camera to one end, pivot stick on other end.
    
    RD: You highlight a diverse selection of athletes skiing, surfing, snowboarding, and kayaking. Traditionally, cross-sport movies have never performed very well. How do you plan on breaking the mold this time around?
    
    DM: We'll be trying to not make it lame.

    RD: What can viewers who’ve seen All.I.Can expect to be the same or different, stylistically or otherwise, this time around?
    
    DM: We learned a lot during the making of All.I.Can., and we want to bring that knowledge to the table.  We can’t stop being who we are, so you’ll see our personalities come through as always, but we hope to evolve to a higher level of storytelling. ITM will take a slice from the avalanche safety message of The Fine Line and the environmental consciousness of All.I.Can, but those aren’t what this is about. This will be new.
    
    RD: What are you guys doing in the filming, interviewing, etc. that is going to do a better job of getting to some deeper emotional or psychological understandings that other filmmakers have been able to accomplish before? Are there other films, inside of skiing or outside, that influenced the approach to Inside The Mind?
    
    DM: Well, we’ll probably just avoid interviews entirely. Actions speak louder than words. 
    
    Our work is, of course, inspired and heavily influenced by dozens of incredible artists.  Films that pop to mind include: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malcovich, Inception, Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Baraka, Dark Side of The Lens, Nostalgia, There Will Be Blood, Stranger Than Paradise, Jacob’s Ladder. And great directors like Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Tarantino, Ron Fricke, Stanley Kubrick, Andrei Tarkovsky, Chris Cunningham, Dziga Vertov, Wim Wenders, Wes Anderson, The Cohen Bros, etc.

• Shredding New Zealand’s South Shredding New Zealand’s South Island Part 4

  • From: brennanlagasse
  • Description:

    New Zealand's mountains seem to go on forever.

    Words and photos by Brennan Lagasse.

    Even though Queenstown and Milford Sound couldn’t be more opposite of one another, they happen to be two of the most sought after destinations in all of New Zealand. Milford Sound is rural, undeveloped and pristine. Queenstown is home to arguably the most eclectic mix of adventure sports in the world, and full of travelers keen to go out and party till all hours of the night. It’s also home to some fabulous wine vineyards, a few good ski resorts, and the top heli-skiing outfit in the country, Southern Lakes Heliski.
    
    Southern Lakes also operates out of the Wanaka area, but has several zones they fly that are closer to the Queenstown area. While a day on the hill at the Remarkables ski area is nothing to pass up, coughing up a few extra bucks to spend some time in the bird while you’re in New Zealand is money well spent. In fact, New Zealand is probably home to the most heli-centric activities on the planet. In Queenstown, I saw signs for heli-fishing, heli-hiking, heli-mountain biking, heli-hunting-basically heli-everything. While the many heli options will appeal to a bunch of you out there, if you ski or ride, it’s the Southern Lakes option that’ll get you the most fired up.

    Loading the ship at Southern Lakes Heli-Skiing.
    
    One of the cool things about Southern Lakes is they offer a host of different packages so you can get a taste of heli-skiing even if it’s only for two runs. Like a lot of heli-skiing operators in the world, if you want to get after rowdy terrain the access is there, but you’ll need to show up with the proper credentials, gear and crew to get after it. Otherwise you’ll be matched up with other skiers and riders of equal ability and spend your day lapping untouched lines of cold New Zealand smoke while your magic carpet waits for you at the bottom of each run. The whole Southern Lakes outfit was a dream to ski with from the head honcho and main office personnel to the guides. It’s going cost you a few extra bucks for sure, but when all is said and done you’ll be stoked to get have gained the experience of spending some quality time in the high New Zealand alpine before it’s time to head home.

    Heli-skiing might be one of the more mundane activities in New Zealand when compared with the many adrenaline focused activities one can get into in Queenstown. The bungee jumping options are numerous, like the Nevis, one of the highest bungee jumps in the world. Or how about the world’s highest cliff jump via the Shotover Canyon Swing, or a jet boat tour where every second of the ride you think you’re going to die? Sound strange, or strangely appealing? This is the true home of adrenaline based activities, and I guarantee you’ll never have heard of most of them until you get here. It makes sense since this is where commercial bungee jumping started, so when you make the trip, it’s best to give into at least one death-defying activity and scare yourself shitless like the Kiwis want you too.
    
    When you’ve had enough of the late night party scene, the adrenaline junky buffet, and skied as much powder as you can handle, it’s time to slow things down and take the rural drive from Queenstown to Milford Sound. Time seems to stand still when you make your way to the Fiordland National Park area. It’s a gorgeous drive alongside miles of forests, mountains and rivers that anglers travel from all over the world to fish. Once you find yourself in fiordland it’s time to give in and gape as the dramatic relief from the rainforest base up to the high peaks is truly breathtaking. Waterfalls encompass everywhere you look, unique flora and fauna are all around you, and some of the most famous hiking (sorry, tramping) trails in the world-the Routeburn Track and the Milford Track-are accessible from here.

    Sometimes it's OK to gape.
    
    If anything a trip to the end of the road to take in Mitre Peak, which rises over a vertical mile from the water’s edge, and all the natural beauty found at the head of the fiordland might just be the highlight of your whole trip. Machu Picchu is the only other place in the world that could be as “touristy” without being touristy at all. In Milford Sound it just doesn’t matter. Everyone’s a gaper as everyone is there to gape. A great way to see some of the surrounding beauty is to take one of the ferry rides that cruise along the fjords, or even better, rent a kayak and go for a paddle. Beyond the snowy mountaintops, huge waterfalls and ominous mists will swirl around you as you check out seals, dolphins and even penguins frolicking in the water. This really is a place that defies the label as touristy because it’s just so breathtaking. As soon as you experience it for yourself you’ll immediately understand why it’s been dubbed a World Heritage site.

    Get out there.
    
    Now that you’ve knocked off New Zealand’s best of the best there’s still a whole bunch of country to check out before you have to catch your flight back home in Christchurch. You can head south toward Invercargill to check back in with some surf, head over to the college town of Dunedin for some good beer, quality rock climbing, and more surf, or maybe cut up the middle of the island and peel off for another snow session at Mt. Cook. The options are endless for the adventurous souls that make their way to New Zealand — it’s more a matter of how you want to spend your time having fun as opposed to making the most of it when you’re traveling in this part of the world. There’s literally adventure around every corner.

    
    When Jillian and I had to catch our flight home we had to book it to New Brighton, a small ocean town on the east coast pretty close to the airport, to return the surf gear we hired out from Sisco’s Surf Shop (100 percent highly recommended for any and every surf need in New Zealand — the couple that owns the shop are amazing and will do whatever they can to dial you out!). But we made such good time we couldn’t waste another opportunity for a surf before the long flight home so one more session was had before the gear got returned, the “Backpacker” was tuned in, and we were in our seat ready to fly already wondering when we’d be able to come back. The title of “all-time trip” barely does this one justice. When you finally book your ticket to New Zealand’s south island this summer — whichever way your pleasure tends, if you have the spirit for adventure, there’s no doubt you’re going to harvest well.

• Creek Boating In The Crazies Creek Boating In The Crazies

  • From: patclayton
  • Description:

    The Crazies.
    
    Somewhere between the towering peaks of Montana’s Crazy Mountains and the endless flats of the northern plains, there lies a few miles where snowmelt meets the right gradient. Creeks pour through these slots in the mountains within eyeshot of the high elevation snowfields that feed them. Every spring, for a few ideal weeks, the Bozeman locals take full advantage. In a place known more for its cold smoke than its steep creek boating, this is where one last face shot is earned. These couple of gems feature big clean slides that rival the best of the Sierras. Committing canyons and waterfalls punctuate these runs. With the knife-like scree slopes of the Crazies above and the sprawling plains once filled with buffalo below, this is the hallowed ground where warriors from the Crow tribe once went on their vision quests.

    Ekstremsportveko is the largest sport and music festival of its kind, and is hosted every year in Voss, Western Norway. We host competitions in kayaking, rafting, mtb-bmx, kiting, skydiving, paragliding, hanggliding, multisport, freeride, big air, climbing, BASE and longboarding. For one whole week national and international athletes compete and challenge themselves in the elements. However, competitions are not always the main focus for the athletes. The sharing of knowledge, when hundreds of top athletes are gathering this last week of June, is just as important. 
    
    The various sports are the main focus of Ekstremsportveko. However, the music program has become an important part of the total festival experience. The last three days of the event, national and international artists spice up the festival with their vibrant music within the genres; pop, rock, funk and reggae!
