Undoubtedly one of the biggest ‘oh shit’ moments in snowboarding cinema history – Travis Rice‘s avalanche in the Fourth Phase could’ve totalled any number of mere mortals – and for a split second at premiere’s around the world, even those of us with Travis walking and breathing in the vicinity questioned whether he actually got out of this one alive…
In the latest Fourth Phase behind the scenes, Travis, Victor De Le Rue and the crew take a deeper look at the circumstances around the slide, what went wrong, and how it felt to be caught up in all of mother nature’s raw power – with the GoPro shots serving as a visual aid.
There’s also the ever-present warning that goes out with any footage like this. If it can happen to Travis Rice, with all the snow research him and the crew do on a daily basis, it can happen to anyone – so if you’re going anywhere out of bounds be sure to get as educated and kitted up as humanly possible.
