Here is the second chapter in Red Bull's Minor Threat series, following their all-star cast on a dream trip through the most wave-rich region on the planet. The boyhood duo of Evan Gieselman and Kolohe Andino seem to keep pushing each other to new heights. It was the Slater generation that began throwing their fins over the lip on top turns, and now these kids are throwing their entire board over the lip on standard turns. The Tail-High generation is here.

Check out episode 1 over here.

Beringer's backyard has been the host of many sick sessions, but it doesn't get much better than a bunch of dudes on Red Bull's Ride and Seek tour, from Mike Clarke to Rob Wise to Corey Bohan to Aaron Ross and even a recvoering Mike Aitken who throws a clicked turndown in this video! Hell yeah, Mikey!

One of the most anticipated snowboard films of this year will be premiering in New York City in September. That's right, Red Bull Media in association with Brain Farm Digital Cinema's "The Art of Flight" will first be shown to the masses in the Big Apple and what better way to demonstrate how colossal this movie is going to be. With Travis Rice, John Jackson, Mark Landvik, Scotty Lago, and Nicolas Muller being just a few of the riders shredding in the film, one can only imagine what the full finished project will unveil.

Guess you better start planning a fall vacay to New York City. Full press release below:

Santa Monica, California (July 11, 2011) - Brace yourself for a new breed of action sports film as Red Bull Media House, in association with Brain Farm Digital Cinema, present "The Art of FLIGHT," a Curt Morgan film. Premiering September 7, 2011 at New York City's Beacon Theatre, "The Art of FLIGHT" combines meaningful storytelling and character development with sport progressing action, all captured on state-of-the-art filmmaking equipment, much of which has been custom designed just for this project.

Equal parts stunning action and harrowing adventure mix with the inevitable drama encountered along the way, presenting viewers with an exclusive opportunity to experience these endeavors virtually firsthand. With unprecedented access, the audience will share in the experience as snowboarder Travis Rice, along with a cast of the best riders in the world, complete a two-year quest to redefine what's possible on a snowboard.

"Through the riders' full immersion into the making of this film, we are able to show in the truest way what it is like it for us to travel to some of the most remote places on earth and search out the most dynamic terrain and conditions," says Rice. "Our triumphs and tribulations are conveyed in this darker, more dramatic film. Throughout we walk a fine line between when to keep pushing it and when to pull back."

Rice handpicks his accomplices from a list of the best snowboarders of our time including two-time Rider of the Year John Jackson, Mark Landvik, Olympic medalist Scotty Lago, Nicolas Muller, DCP, Jake Blauvelt, Pat Moore, Jeremy Jones and more. Join in their sometimes successful, often trying quest to open up new mountain zones and approach unexplored mountains from completely unique angles. Chilean Patagonia's Darwin Range, Alaska's Tordrillo Range, Wyoming's Snake River Range, Aspen, Colorado, the Andes, as well as British Columbia's Kootenay Mountains, Revelstoke and Goat Range are the stage for this epic production.

Brain Farm Cinema captures the dramatic beauty of the culture, wildlife and of course snowboarding on their ever-expanding arsenal of filmmaking technology and tools. Stabilized aerial cinematography from the Cineflex V14 mixes with the Phantom HD Gold's ultra slow motion footage, point-of-view angles and countless other cameras and tools to create this unique, immersive look at snowboarding.

"The Art of FLIGHT" comes to Blu-ray™, DVD and iTunes worldwide on September 8, 2011. Check out the trailer and learn more about the film at http://www.artofflightmovie.com.

Jordy Smith is a bastard. a lucky lucky bastard.

Just watch.

As if you weren't already jealous enough i thought you should know that while mr. Smith was out ripping in his boardies, his supermodel girlfriend Lyndall Jarvis was holding his towel and sipping margaritas on the beach.
Furthermore, this trip was his 'warm up' for the Mr.Price Pro in Ballito, South Africa, and event which he won last year, and so far this year, he is into round 3 and looking unstoppable.

Bastard!
