What defines your best day of snowboarding?

For pro surfer Ian Walsh it's shredding the steep and deep in Alaska with snowboard legends Travis Rice and the Jackson brothers. In the second episode of Brothers on the Run, Walsh gets his first taste of 'pro Alaskan lines' as he experiences AK from the Jackson brothers and Rice's perspective.

The epic crew is blessed with bluebird skies and pristine pow lines as they close out their Alaskan adventures before road-tripping to the next shred destination on their 15,000 mile journey to Chile. Between Walsh having his 'best day ever,' John Jackson's sending lines despite doctor's orders, and Travis Rice's powder prowess, this episode of Brothers on the Run is a must-see.

John and Eric Jackson, in conjunction with Red Bull Media, recently released the first episode of "Brothers on the Run." This web series chronicles the adventures and misadventures of the pro snowboarders as they embark on a 15,000-mile road trip from Alaska to Chile. The brothers are among the world's best backcountry riders, ensuring that this series will be chock full of breathtaking big mountain bangers.

The first episode explores the plans leading up to the adventure. After a burly crash in Alaska, John learns he's fractured two ribs and part of his spine before the trip even begins. After receiving reassuring news from his neurological spine surgeon, John is given the go-ahead and joins Eric to embark on their journey. Once the brothers land in Alaska, they meet with Travis Rice and kick off the adventure with a slew of Alaskan fun-- shooting guns, fishing in freezing waters, and of course, shredding steep peaks.

Upon the release of the first episode, Eric Jackson posted this picture from the excursion and said, "You know when you have a day where everything goes right and nothing could bring you down? Well, today was one of those days! @Johnnjamun high on life in #Alaska #BrothersontheRun.

Episodes will premiere every other Tuesday throughout the summer. Check out Episode 1:

Eric Jackson's two-song ender in People's film "Good Look" this year left people speechless. Well, that's a lie. People were anything but speechless. They were hooting and hollering and cursing because it was so insanely good.

E-Jack showed up and sent it last year in Canada. The hits he was charging were jaw-dropping big and he made it clear that he was there to lay it all out...and obviously have a great time while doing so.

He made an impact to say the least after "Good Look" was released and Lib Tech just released a re-edit of some of his footage from the past season while filming with People. So, if you weren't convinced that E-Jack was a beast before well, you're an idiot. More proof below.

Holy shiz.

That's some dedication right there. Eric Jackson is the newest member to join the Frends Crew, but don't think he got a spot on the team with out a solid initiation. In the latest edition of FrendsVision, Eric does his best to pass the "Frends Frat House" induction that includes outrageous antics on and off the hill. Frat master Danny Davis is the ringleader of the crew and barks nasty orders at Eric throughout the entire episode.

Does Eric have what it takes to be a true member of the Frends Crew? You'll have to check out the hilarious video and see...

Hold the phone. Last night at the Oakley Headquarters in Lake Forest, CA, minds were undoubtedly blown and worlds were majorly rocked. The People Crew's video "Good Look" premiered and Bryan Fox's and Scotty Wittlake's film "The Rascals"opened up the show.

Bold statement but "The Rascals" - in many people's opinion - showed up the main act. Not that "Good Look" wasn't amazing but no one saw the opening film coming.

Wittlake and Fox's video follows a season with all their closest buddies at Mt. Baker and described it as "a bunch of old guys trying to stay young". "The Rascals" cuts right to the core, the roots, and the meaning of snowboarding to all of us. No bullshit. No heli shots, HD film, or slow motion clips, it's emphasis is on why we all keep riding year in and year out. The days in the trees under dumping skies, soft buttery lines, gigantic powder slashes, landing waist-deep and being surrounded by all your friends. The crowd in the theater was hooting, hollering, and going off in response to the feeling "The Rascals" exuded. Jake Blauvelt, Mark Landvik, Pat McCarthy, Temple Cummins, Forrest Burki, Shaun McKay and more bring the video to life as they turn and burn all over Baker. With tree runs you thought you only dreamt about, fun pillow drops, and windlips galore, this flick and unique perspective brought us all back to our home mountains and amazing days riding with homies. Words of advice: get "The Rascals" in your life immediately.

Moving on to "Good Look". With the vibe of the previous film still buzzing throughout the theater, you could sense the anticipation for another video that would generate the same reaction and natural high. Not to worry, Pierre Minhondo, Justin Eeles, and Sam Hiltner's latest project did just that and then some. Following suit, "Good Look" reminded us of why we got into snowboarding in the first place and gave us that warm fuzzy feeling all over again. They didn't skip on one bit of riding - showing us all aspects and styles with an all star cast. JP Walker, Eero Niemela, Eric Jackson, Joe Sexton, Simon Chamberlain, Shaun McKay, Lauri Heiskari, Heikki Sorsa, Aaron Biittner, Torstein Horgmo, and friends to put it simply, sent it. This mixture of talent, personality, and friendship provides for a super successful and impressive movie.

Lauri Heiskari claimed the opener and got it started off right. Backcountry chutes and cornices to burly rail transfers and gaps, Lauri covered all his bases with a f-ing bang. The rest of the crew kept the level and energy up, slaying pretty much everything you could imagine. The street shredding was impeccable alongside insane...and I mean insane, big mountain riding that got the whole crowd out of their seats ready to run for their shred stick to find the nearest snow possible. It was all there with flare.

Enter Eric Jackson as the closer. No one saw this coming and people pretty much passed out from excitement. To say E-Jack outdid himself would just be stupid and unencompassing. Eric's part sealed the deal for most people that this movie might be the best one of the year. Yeah, I said it. This dude is straight up out of his mind, loony tunes, amazing at snowboarding. With a larger than life personality to match - this part made me laugh, shout "holy shit" and "oh my god" on multiple occasions, and get up for a standing ovation. The tricks E-Jack was pulling and features he was sending off of in the backcountry were progressive, ballsy, and bad-ass. Pure beast. That's the only way to describe it.

Other highlight of the night: Austin Smith's wizard staff.

There you have it. Claiming one of the top movies of the year (knowing that there still are a few to be seen) and yes, we know that "Art of Flight" exists. Big ups to all who were involved in both films, you lit a fire underneath everyone's ass to get out, shred, and keep the dream alive.
