:08:04
it's special- it's one of those
once in a lifetime reunion trips
that you only dream about.
:08:08
And with Terje here,
somebody that, you know,
I hold in the highest regards-
:08:13
He's the best snowboarder
in the world, really.
:08:16
Terje has been like the guy
I've always looked up to...
:08:18
because he was the best
in the pipe and in the park.
:08:21
He was always
backcountry riding.
:08:23
[ Farmer]
He's a pretty reserved
and pretty low-key dude.
:08:26
Once you get him out there,
I mean, he's just like a cat. He flies.
:08:32
[ Perata ] Shaun and Hannah
being here for their first time,
and their, you know, freestyle ability level-
:08:37
it's a once-in-a-lifetime deal.
:08:40
There's a big gap here.
We're talking 20 years.
:08:42
I think that all goes away,
really, once you get up here
and start riding together.
:08:46
It's great for me.
It just makes me feel young,
even though I'm old.
:08:51
Nick and Farmeris one of
the pioneers fromAlaska.
:08:55
They've been here
for a lot in the past.
:08:58
And it helps a lot
having that experience here.
:09:01
[Perata ]
Back in the old days,
it was free and wild, you know.
:09:04
It really was.
It was carefree, and everything
was the first descent.
:09:08
You know where you were going,
there was no other person
ever has ridden.
:09:12
[ Farmer]
Nick just was all about Alaska.
:09:14
He just knew
that's what he wanted to do.
:09:16
Now he's been guiding
for 13 years.
:09:19
He didn't even ride a resort ever.
He just rode- pow! Rode choppers.
:09:28
I 'm stoked just to see...
:09:30
that the top freestyle pefrormers
are willing to come up here...
:09:35
and risk their lives just to ride
and get better that way.
:09:40
[ Farmer]
If you just take it from a money aspect
or your investment,
:09:44
and you look at this Shaun White dude
and he's, like, worth all this dough,
:09:47
and I 'm thinking, I can't believe they're
even gonna let him come up here,
:09:50
'cause we all know
that people have been taken out
by mountains like this.
:09:57
