Submitted by Karen on Fri, 2016-09-02 10:09

"The Fourth Phase" by From Travis Rice & Brain Farm Premieres Oct 2nd 2016 so it's time to check out the trailer and get amped for the season ahead.  

From the creators of The Art of FLIGHT, Red Bull Media House presents The Fourth Phase, a snowboarding epic starring iconic athlete Travis Rice.

This new instalment in this epic series features the untapped backcountry of native Wyoming where Rice plots a 16,000 mile course to follow the hydrological cycle around the north Pacific, where snow and ice create dreamlike landscapes on the towering mountains above.  Filming includes the Japanese Alps, the volcanoes of Russia, and a spectacular remote area of Alaska.  

Scored by Kishi Bashi, The Fourth Phase carves a fresh path by using an artistic blend of action, story and cinematography to bring this stunning 4K feature to life. This film is for anyone fascinated by the possibilities of adventure, of the natural world – of life.
