The Fourth Phase Page #4

The Japanese Alps are some

of the most majestic,

beautiful mountains in the world,

yet, I think they can be

some of the most dangerous.

It snows ungodly amounts in the valley.

What's it doing up there?

We're in a very volatile environment.

Clouds are moving in,

storms are coming from every direction.

You can't even see the terrain

until that moment the clouds lift.

["IN FANTASIA" PLAYING]

Beautiful Japanese morning!

Dealing with weather every day.

This our fourth time trying to climb.

Finally we're peeking out in the sun.

Yay, Lando!

Every day has been planned good.

We get up and then it ends up

snowing a foot on us.

But today's the day, eh, Mikkel?

- Yup.

- Yeah! Today's the day.

It's out-of-control beautiful up here.

[MUSIC]

Whoo!

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

I did it!

MAN 2:
Where he wants to go with his

snowboarding is just kinda bonkers.

I don't know how else to describe it,

but sheer persistence.

I don't understand it,

but when I get to be a part

of that with Travis,

it's beautiful, man.

Dude's just fighting opposition.

[MUSIC]

TRAVIS:
All good here.

[MUSIC]

Getting up to the alpine wasn't something

that I had envisioned in Japan.

It was eye-opening.

I didn't have any idea that

there was terrain like this here.

It does have this mystical beauty to it.

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

Oh, sh*t.

It's a Japanese fire festival.

It's been going on for centuries.

This is insane.

We're, we're pretty much

about to burn up here.

[MEN CHANTING]

Every snowflake needs a particle of dust.

Where does most of the dust come from?

Ash.

Let the fire burn.

TRAVIS:

When it's just dumping and it's calm,

that's when I feel the most alive...

remembering how fun it is to...

just... be lost in it.

[WIND BLOWING]

PROFESSOR:
Many of us cling to ideas

that we've come up with.

We love them.

We think we've arrived at certain truths,

but there is so much in

our world that is unknown.

ERIC JACKSON:
Travis sent me

an email saying, "You're in."

All I knew was that

we were going to Kamchatka.

And it was going to be an epic adventure.

# Ride all day till the light's gone #

# I'm with all my friends

Friends, friends #

# Said I'm with all my friends #

TRAVIS:
It's so thrilling to go somewhere

that's completely unknown.

Eric's the kinda guy who gets

excited by the unexpected.

He's just down.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

ERIC:
You realize pretty quick

that Travis pushes the limits.

He pushes himself.

He puts all of his time and energy

into what he's obsessed with.
