While researching the project [The Fourth Phase] I stumbled across this amazing research by a scientist called Dr Gerard Pollack who had done studies on what he called a 'fourth phase' of water.

Pretty much everywhere we went we had crazy weather. I think Russia was probably one of the toughest places for us weatherwise, but even Alaska, the last three years have been somewhat subpar when you look at historically how Alaska can shape up.
Travis Rice
I think it mostly comes down to trying to align with people who are down with a mission and will bring optimism.
Travis Rice
We were looking at weather and our relationships with weather. It goes to a few other places, and I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't go into it, but it's about a willingness to expose oneself a little bit more and share something openly and honestly. It's more than just landing tricks. Moving forward, this is just another stepping stone.

Sometimes storms come through with wind and blow the features off or sometimes they come in heavy and grow the features to the point where we have to shovel them off again. Leading up to the window for our event we try to get everything lined up and safe for the riders.

It was just on a whole other level, getting to experience and ride that terrain. We spent a fair amount of time in the Hakuba Valley.

Over the past six years, my girlfriend and I live on our boat two or three months a year. It's just one of our seasonal homes at this point.

I knew Shin [Biyajima] a little bit early on, but it's funny because where I really met Shin, and where he made a strong impression on me, was in Jackson Hole. I sledded back to a secret zone way deep in the Jackson backcountry to some freeriding. I got out there and followed some snowmobile tracks figuring it's just some snowmobilers.

You know, I wouldn't even call snowboarding a sport, you know for me it's just a way of life
Travis Rice
We're all doing what we love. It's how we express ourselves - operating in a space where you don't know if something is possible or not.
Travis Rice
I was pretty blown away by how vast and aggressive the terrain is in the Japanese Alps. You're looking up at peaks, and it's like Alaska seeing all kinds of amazing stuff that looks ridable, but it's 70 percent death defying only a small percentage really goes.
Travis Rice
One of the proudest things for me with this film [The Fourth Phase] is that year after year we put ourselves right out there making it and no one got seriously injured.
Travis Rice
When I finally got to go ride the mountains in Japan, it blew my mind.
Travis Rice
Now you're gonna take beatings. It's written in our DNA, you know. You're gonna go down. You get up, it's that simple.

The whole goal with this thing [Ultra Natural] from the start was to really let rider's style define them and their line choice.

I love to snowboard with no cameras: 100 percent.
Travis Rice
I was picking up surfing, which I also fell in love with. Then I was like, man, to combine the two [free ride and surfing ] would be perfect.

I actually enjoyed getting lost in Japan's backroads, finding myself in a wasabi farm.
