Tadashi Fuse spent most of the 2013 season riding the Whistler backcounty… by himself. Tadashi’s driven like no other. He knew that in order to accomplish his goals for the year, coordinating with other riders, sharing filmers, and compromising, just wasn’t going to work. So he set out every morning, hours before other crews, and hiked, sledded, dug, and explored with only his equally dedicated filmer, Taro Koeji. What’s even more amazing is that most of his footage from last season was from entirely new jumps, and un-ridden pillow areas that were massive hikes from where you can get your sled to.
Supra decided to take a quick trip to Santa Cruz and back to hit some skate shops. We started off in Bakersfield with a signing and demo, then off to Fresno, jumped out the van for some street spots in Modesto, and ended up at the Santa Cruz Board Room in Santa Cruz. Four cities in four days makes for a quick video recap from Straight Outta The Van.
