Robbie Maddison has jumped some crazy stuff on his dirtbike, but sending it off the Olympic ski jump in Park City, Utah is on a whole other level. The crew met up with pro ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson for some advice, and ramp builder Matt McCaul shows what went into making the ski jump ready for a motorcycle.

Once a week we dive into the video archives of filmmaker and SURFER Magazine founder John Severson. This week features the opening sequence of his final film “Pacific Vibrations.” Released in 1970 and filmed during the transition era of board design, “Pacific Vibrations” features a heavy amount of pintail single fins. More importantly, Severson’s inspiration for the film was to bring awareness to the changes he was witnessing happen to the ocean.
“This is a film that contrasts the beauty with the problems [environmental] and in the end makes a statement that would maybe prompt a few people to take action and start doing something,” Severson said about his film.
