[Rice ]
It's a good crew coming up here-

:49:05
Perata, Farmer, Hannah,
having Terje up here
with, like, Shaun White.

:49:09
All right, let's do it.
:49:11
[ White ]
He'll ride anything.
He's all about the backcountry.

:49:14
He can do a half-pipe contest
and slope south.

:49:18
Alaska is a place where Travis
can separate himself from other riders.

:49:24
He knows it's the best
for backcountry free-riding.

:49:35
[ Teter]
First couple days we got blue sky, finally,
after the rainy, like, cloudy storminess.

:49:40
I was so happy, you know,
just knowing that we were going up.

:49:43
Yeah! We're going up!
:49:47
[Perata ]
Now that we've had new snow,
it's made everything unstable.

:49:50
It's good 'cause we get a fresh coat,
but it's also bad 'cause it now
makes everything more dangerous.

:50:12
[Teter] Yeah, I heard
that it's kind of avalanche yup top.

:50:15
So today we're just gonna,
I guess, plan a jump.

:50:20
[Farmer]
How do I feel about building a kicker
in the Alaskan backcountry?

:50:26
Well, I think
it's a bunch of bullshit myself.

:50:29
But I live by the motto,
don't sweat the petty.

:50:33
Pet the sweaty.
:50:35
He's got a point.
[ Laughs ]

:50:38
[Farmer]
This is probably the most popular part
of snowboarding videos and everything.

:50:43
Kids go out
and build these jumps,you know?

:50:45
Dudes like Shawn
and Travis Rice here.

:50:47
Terje won't have a problem either.
I'm sure Hannah will do fine.

:50:50
We'll see.
I don't know, you know.
I could throw out something.

:50:54
I 'm a little scared, actually.
I've never really done
this kind of stuff before.

:50:58
Oh, God, no!
