Last season Harrison Gordon decided to stray from filming a traditional video part and instead put together a stack of shots to release online. This is becoming a more common option among highly talented snowboarders and Harrison’s part is yet another example of a stand alone segment that not only showcases some insane riding, but does so in a way fully determined by the rider. Harrison’s easy going yet technical, skate-influenced style transitions from the streets to backcountry with a fluidity that few can lay claim to, and in this video he confidently handles all terrain and lays down more than a couple NBDs making this one of our favorite collections of shots this year.
Last month we’ve been traveling all round Europe showing the movie everywhere we went. Between our premieres in Munich and Innsbruck we went up the Kaunertal and Stubai glaciers for a shred with Kas Lemmens, Max De Vries, Bob Van Unnik, Ollie Dutton and Will Smith.
HIGHER traces Jones’ snowboarding journey from hiking Cape Cod’s Jailhouse Hill as a child to accumulating several generations’ worth of wisdom and expertise about thriving and surviving in the winter wilderness.
Jones has gathered friends old and new to pass the torch to the next generation of big mountain rippers. His crew for the film includes Bryan Iguchi, Luca Pandolfi, Lucas Merli, Ryland Bell, and others. With these friends, Jeremy leaves tracks on signature lines in the close-to-home playgrounds he’s made his own around Jackson Hole and Lake Tahoe. He also makes history with far-flung first descents in the Eastern Alaska Range and the Himalaya of Nepal, where the stakes are as high as the peaks themselves.
