In the third episode of Northwave Team Talks, the crew takes you on an epic backcountry mission accompanied by the Rusty Toothbrush gang who’re busy filming for their 2022 edit, Fake Teeth Real Friends.

“With quite a few years of experience in filmmaking under their belt, the crew knows that making a snowboard movie means you’re always monitoring the weather forecast as winter approaches and temperatures get lower”

With quite a few years of experience in filmmaking under their belt, the crew knows that making a snowboard movie means you’re always monitoring the weather forecast as winter approaches and temperatures get lower. You’ve often only got a narrow window of time where the conditions are perfect, which is when you’ve got to make the most of it – even if the body and the mind don’t seem to cooperate, you have to find the strength to push through and get the clip.

Having a legend like Simon Gruber on the team, the crew knew that they wouldn’t have to worry about jumps not being up to standards. Thanks to Simon’s years of unparalleled experience of filming in the backcountry, with hundreds of jumps built under his belt and countless video parts, they were good to go.

Sit back and enjoy these 17 minutes of pure backcountry gold.
