PAVED - An unfiltered snowboard odyssey (Full Movie) 4K

There are two reasons why we're here in Alaska. The first reason takes us to Burlington, Vermont. We're home to a top-secret prototyping facility in Jeff Brushy's dreadlock, his Burton snowboards. With an asterisk. No, what? Is that a keyboard thing? English lesson? Really? What does it mean? You don't know what it means? Maybe it's a typo, or maybe it's a nod to history. A footnote for everything you can't fit above the door. Started in 1977 when Jake Carpenter made this, this, and this. He got people on boards and built a team of the best riders in the world to test and improve those boards, an ethos he called a process. Today, the process is carried on by his wife Donna and sons George, Taylor, and Timmy, where they continue to make this, this, and this. Burton snowboards? Yeah, that makes sense. Like snowboards and other things. If you know, you know kind of thing, you know? The second reason we're in Alaska is because we're making a movie. Oh yeah. Like this movie? Nice, movie magic. We're making a movie? **** yeah, we're making a movie. Dan-o, dropping in 10. Dan, dropping in 10? Three, two, one, dropping. Dropping. Hey, Focus, Dan here. Sound safe and sound, pretty fun. Definitely some fluff moving, but enjoy it. It's gonna be fun. Where is this? This is Haines, an Alaskan range that humbles even the best. Where weather windows vanish, lines are always steep, and just booking the ticket feels like a roll of the dice. Yeah, Haines is crazy like that. Hey, you gotta try. Without further ado, Mark McMorris. Hey, that's me. Mark's a busy guy, usually traveling every day of the year. Yeah, it's a ledge. Going from the contest scene to the back country to join the likes of Ben Ferguson. Ben Ferg to fearless. But make no mistake, in AK, even the fearless feel the fear. If it's gonna be good, you're gonna be scaring the ---- out of yourself. All cameras are 100%. **** you. Go right, go right. Dude, that is like pretty scary to watch, bro. Yeah, that was sketchy. Nicely done, Fergus. Japan. Endless snow and endless narrators trying to describe its essence. But really, only a rider can find the words for such a dynamic place. Guys, I don't know what to say. I can't say it a million times. Okay, then. Three street riders, Maria Thompson, Ilva Runarsdotir, and Zeb Powell head to the land of the rising sun in search of pow. Guided by the one guy who might actually know where to find it. I wanna say me, but I might be wrong. Takaru Otsuka made a name for himself stacking big air medals. Now he set his sights on the back country for total domination. No, I'm not that guy like that. Okay, back on the rap strip. Let's go. Hey, look. Reach down my bed in the field. 1k for my shirt, 2k for my pants, 3k for my jacket, 4k for my track, thank you for my bail. Now he did it again. Now he did it. Special plan, special plan. Django Blaster. When you sick, they wanna kill you like Dango. I'm too original. My Ramasada's critical. Too analytical. Get shot up by subliminal messages. They hit you in your mouth like a fork at your breakfast. More Julius than Caesar, but I'm more than a physical specimen. I drop bombs like the reverend tested. My LP's pops more than your left and your right list. No one can save you, I'm the prodigy left with. Oogiewear, operational, mechanical. Flavor like animal. I box em in like animals. I spy your place, it's flammable. At least a piece at your flesh animal. Lacta, get your ass kicked like you ain't a receptor. Just took a large dick from a man who just met you. In this industry, how do we make amends? Again, suit and ties just like enemies and friends and ghosts. Coincide with the chimneys and chins of smoke. Don't give up. Motherfucker, don't ****. Don't give up. Motherfucker, don't ****. Don't give up. Motherfucker, don't ****. Don't give up. When you sick, they wanna kill you like Dango. Anyone who knows anything about snowboarding knows the three words triangle of hope. Whispered in snowmobile lots, etched in the lore of film crews, a sacred geometry of powder. Triangle of hope? I've never heard of the triangle of hope. Wait, what is the triangle of hope? You got it. Whistler and Revelstoke, the triangle. The triangle of hope, where storms dump enough for Mikey Ciccarelli to call it home base and push Brock Crouch, the crew's resident speed gauge, into a powder panic. Yeah, probably. You gotta burn off the cloud. Dude, I don't even know how I am in the mountains. Sometimes the mountains drive me crazy. Yeah, maybe a little faster. If you kind of go straight. Oh, ****. Well, now I can see the landing. The snow in the landing's super good, so it's fun. From your side, I can see from my heart. Falls, just open up your joy. Let the sailors climb the walls. I thought I saw you laughing. It doesn't matter if they touch you, where they cut you. Can you give me an invisible light? An invisible light. Oh, an invisible light to keep me alive. Keep me alive. What the ****? Is that fun? I just always wanted to do that. Yeah, buddy. That was awesome. Thanks, Mike. When it comes to motorized snow transportation, there's a clear hierarchy, and perched right at the top is the helicopter. Metal bird. It's fast, efficient, and undeniably majestic. Yeah, it's great. It's not without side effects. The most common, heli belly. A condition caused by minimal hiking and maximal amenities. Especially at Wigley's, full buffet. It's a nice place. When Ben and Takuru have a heli booked, who else is grabbing the last seat? Could it be Ilfa, Icelandic street royalty known for having enough energy to power an entire crew? What's the word of the day, Takuru? I don't know. Ilfa has a lot of energy. I like it. Shooting his mark to a payday, give away in the dark. Lucy and your man's a better brand, brand. Little hippie bringing home to you a whiskey, wine, and can. While the others chase clips from the sky, Zeb was busy on a snowmobile. So who is Zeb, pal? Dude, Zeb is like a freak of nature. Nobody can do Zeb like Zeb does Zeb. Like, he's the best. Hailing from North Carolina with cat-like rotations and a gigantic board. It's like he's riding a table. Zeb's getting a Tahoe tour from none other than Danny Davis, who's somewhat of a legend amongst our crew. Yeah, he's a ******* legend. Also, he's just fun to be around. They'll be checking in with Brock Crouch on snowboarding's forgotten playground. Spots that showed up in nearly every movie when he first joined the Burton team. I was like eight, like seven years old. But with a tuned perspective, new classics can always be found. This thing's ******* perfect. Picture all the clothes, picture all the hoes. Picture the perfection when the money pile grows. You got a crocodile style, I sport gators. They feel my bite, so fresh with the flavor. Guy Kahn, Fillmore's number one sign. Steak, potatoes, garlic bread, and some primes. Yeah, San Francisco, baby. Fillmore niggas trying to bring back the 80s. Yeah, yeah, money is the model. And run around town like it's Grand Theft Auto. Chika Khan, Wally on my hip. You're not dealing with clowns. When you try to kick hop, watch your body shut down. I'm a pimp, trapped in a gangster's body. I'm dope, and I **** around and hurt somebody. On Tuesday and Thursday, the ghosts pull up. Then everybody run, cause they'll **** you up. I'm a shady ass nigga, man, I ain't gonna lie. I just wanna sell dope, smoke weed, and get high. Yeah, San Francisco, baby. Fillmore niggas trying to bring back the 80s. Yeah, yeah, money is the model. And run around town like it's Grand Theft Auto. Chika Khan, Wally on my hip. Good read, my mob gangsta niggas in the whip. Yeah, you're not dealing with clowns. When you try to kick hop, watch your body shut down. I'm a steak, beef, and Dougie Fresh, the way I sport ballies. With my slick rig talk and my slick rig walk. I wear rings like the platter called Saturn. The money's moving, baby, then your body is the pattern. You know I hide out like it's witness protection. Some people start to stare like a model car collection. You know it's like 20 G's in a Jordan briefcase. My hood came up off the word freebase. Minnesota, the granny runs through my body structure. My bottom hole cries cause I never say I love her. It's a cold world, that's why I p-p-p-p-party. My lawyer is a sneaky ************, very naughty. With hot lies, I hit Popeye for hot fries. A real rap cat talks until the sun rise. What's your astrology and your biography? I talk a little bit to get you to follow me. I like the quality, you like the quantity. Film all born and ain't no apology. Wally on my hip. Good read, my mob gangsta niggas in the whip. Yeah. Hi. We're good, huh? I'm not waiting for you. No cool guy car yet. Let's rip. Each season, members of our crew make their push to coastal BC. And with endless terrain, it's the perfect place to move as a pack. Which is good, because this time the crew was big and about to get bigger. The crew is graced by two gold medalists, Zoe Sadowski-Sennett and Anna Gasser. And they brought shovels. Take me back to Aspen. Zoe, little chuck buddy. I don't really know what else to do after riding park for so long. Zoe arrived in the snowboard world seemingly out of nowhere. Then just went boom. And then there's Anna, five-time big air champ. I love big jumps. And one of Europe's few outspoken cheese naysayers. Not everyone needs to like the same things and I just don't like cheese. These two are carrying on the time-honored tradition of contest killers entering the backcountry, which leaves only one thing for us to do. Sit back and watch the show. Kind of crazy, huh? Way bigger than I imagined, dude. Yeah, boys. Thanks Paskey for making us do it, dude. Japan is one of those places where it never really stops snowing. But sometimes that's the problem. Yeah, we spent way too much time in Japan. Snow was just so good, like had to stay. Couldn't leave. This trip, we were following Nickel Bang. After 27 years on the Burton team, he somehow just continues to get better. Could be Viking blood, or maybe it's because half the crew grew up idolizing him. And he likes to keep it that way. He was a pro snowboarder when I like had my first magazine. He was Nickel's fan. Still am. In Japan, tattoos can keep you out of certain places. Not that Nickel's ever had to worry about that. I don't think I'm gonna get any tattoos. What do you want to do after this? When you're making a snowboard movie, you save the biggest terrain for last. So let's talk about Valdez, Alaska. Like Valdez as in the whole time? Yes. And as with any good finale, it's time to bring the whole cast together. That would be insane sending me with them to Alaska. What about Mark? Is he coming? I was recovering from putting my knee into my face. Was Zeb in the heli? No, he got the me heli. Gasser? He probably was riding back when they were in Alaska. Okay then. We're left with Brock, Ben, Danny, Mickle and Zoe? I would say **** yeah, I'm coming. Any words of advice? Pucker up a little bit. It's scary up there. I think it's over? Is that all she wrote? All she ******* wrote? Are we really not ending with a ******* jump session? She wears the same little look in your eyes
