Brendan Villanueva, Tyson Bowerbank and Jamie Foy placed 1,2 and 3 respectively in the Zumiez Best Foot Forward Finals in Detroit. Immediately following that event they flew west and hopped in the mayhem van and destroyed west coast street spots up and down the coast for a week. Including stops in Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Here’s the video evidence.
This is the stuff powder dreams are made of. Last season, Japan was hit with an unreal amount of snow and with a slow season in British Columbia, the Get Outta Town boys sent it across the Pacific in search of whiter pastures. Their journey was rewarded when they landed in the middle of the deep and steep country with no end in sight to the storms. In episode 2 of Get Outta Town: Project Two, Ryan Tiene, Benji Ritchie, Iikka Backstrom, and Eero Niemela get barreled in the white wave, dropping pillow lines, buttering untouched fluff, sending floaty back ones off everything in sight and snagging endless powder shots. While the crew gets some in the Land of the Rising Sun, Devun Walsh holds down the fort in Whistler, which was having its own kind of precipitation.
What does it mean to fly down 4,900 vertical feet of terrain, passing through flowing descents of alpine wildflowers, or the mystique of earthy, tangled roots that rise alongside berms, or the blinkered light that flashes through the deep forests before opening into the energy of the valley below? More importantly, how does it feel? “In The Zone” stems from a three-part online video campaign produced by Goldstein Productions that personifies the character of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park’s three riding zones and captures the journey through each. Originally made as three separate pieces, the intention was to have all three form one cohesive short film at the end. “In the Zone” personifies each of the riding zones in Whistler’s Bike Park. We get to know places like Garbo – suspended between sky and valley, where everything is a little louder, more vibrant, more instinctive. More importantly, we feel the rider’s journey and mental state in each zone.
