Sick of hearing how rad Japan is yet? We're not. Seth Huot is featured in Giro's latest edit from a trip they took to the far away powder land and although the first minute and a half contains no snowboarding whatsoever, we're not mad because Seth makes up for it with all of his pretty sprays of champagne powder in the back half of the video.

Seth Huot, Scott Stevens, Dylan Alito, and Dan Brisse are still ripping apart Minnesota in episode two of Volcom's road-tested series snow edition. Yes, they are still bringing their crazy A-game as well until...uh, one of them eats it pretty bad. Stomach straight to chain link fences, tacoing over handrails, and front flipping over concrete ledges, it's all there don't you worry. Pretty sure they land some tricks too.

Seriously though, the rail spots the guys are setting up at are insanely burly and innovative and we applaud them for what they pulled off in this edit. Minnesota's no joke. Time to get ready for their Canada trip, edit dropping October 31.

Volcom's road-tested series has broken into the snow world in the second season featuring a 2-part series with pro ripper Seth Huot debuting as a filmer, editor, and director. If that wasn't a long enough list for you, he's riding in the episodes as well.

The first part creeps on Seth, Scott Stevens, Dylan Alito, and Dan Brisse in Minnesota as they hit up the urban scene in below zero temperatures. Don't worry, they still are rocking flannels.

This first episode captures some fine Minnesota shredding and "lays the foundation" of what it's all about. Huot claims there are some twists and turns in part 2. Stay tuned for that - Episode 1 below:

The snow season is quickly coming to an end with resorts from East to West coming to a close. It seems too soon. Where did the season go? Did you have time to lock in those tricks you tried all winter? Or did you get enough powder days to satisfy your cravings until next fall? The answer is probably not- the end of season always leaves us longing for more.

Thankfully the dudes at People Crew realize that many are suffering from end-of-season-agony and hope to relieve some pain by releasing the trailer for their 2011 project Good Look.

The video is filmed all around the globe in digital HD and features insane snowboarding from some of the heaviest hitters in the game: Simon Chamberlain, Shaun McKay, Lauri Heiskari, Heikki Sorsa, Aaron Biittner, Torstein Horgmo, and more.

The season may be almost over, but at least this teaser has the energy and hype that makes you feel like you're right back in the thick of it.

Eight riders. Eight videos. One X Games gold medal and $50,000 to give away. Winter X Games 2011 is going urban.

After the first video-only contest, "Real Street" debuted at the 2010 Summer X Games and was a huge hit; ESPN decided to make the move and debut the "Real" series again at WX15 - resulting in the birth of "Real Snow". Eight pros will put together a 60-second video part filmed exclusively on urban terrain. The videos will then be judged by a panel of industry pros who will make the call on who wins the $50,000 and the X Games chunk of gold that you can drape around your neck. The medalists will be announced in Aspen after the eight riders throw down in the Snowboard Street jam session.

All the video entrees will be shown as part of the WX15 telecast on January 29th but will drop on ESPN on January 12 where you'll be able to vote for the "Fan Favorite" who will take home five grand.

Time to find out who these eight video phenoms are:

Dan Brisse
Simon Chamberlain
Seth Huot
Jeremy Jones
Louis-Felix Paradis
Nic Suave
Joe Sexton
JP Walker
