You know, it puts you in a good mood.
It-It humbles you.

1:38:05
It hits you with so many
different emotions...

1:38:07
just sitting right here,
looking out there...

1:38:10
that you can't help leave here...
1:38:13
and not be a bigger and better person.
1:38:15
That's what this place does to you.
It makes you strong.

[Hannah ]
Alaska's really touched my heart
in an amazing way,

1:38:24
and it's influenced me so much
that, yeah, I'm gonna come back.

1:38:27
Just 'cause I've had so much fun
and found so much joy here
and learned so much.

1:38:30
You know,
how could I not come back?.

1:38:33
## [Man Singing Rock ]
I feel like,you know,

1:38:36
ifl was a warrior,
I would've got- I got a badge here.

1:38:45
[ White ]
I have such mixed feelings
while I'm out here.

1:38:47
I think this place
is amazing,

1:38:49
but, for me, I just think I need to focus
a bit more on some other stuff...

1:38:53
before I come back here.
1:38:55
It's just opening up this whole new book
when I haven't even closed this other one.

1:39:00
I still have some more chapters to fill.
1:39:03
Just being in the Alaskan mountain,
it's like a competition itself, you know,
but for yourself.

1:39:07
Taking that next step
to the backcountry free riding.

1:39:10
This is what
snowboarding's all about.

1:39:15
Everytime I think I don't care anymore,
you know, I go out and I do it,
and I have, like, the best time.

1:39:19
In fact,
that's almost the best time...

1:39:23
is when you just lay it down for a while
and then pick it back up.

1:39:25
I'll do it for as long as I can,
which is probably forever.

1:39:39
[Narrator]
For snowboarding, the diverse culture
and free-thinking attitude...

1:39:43
that has been there
from the beginning...

1:39:45
will always shape the sport.
1:39:47
And the future
will be determined by the riders...

1:39:50
who will continue to push limits
and change the way mountains are ridden.

1:39:55
[ Perata ]
I would say snowboarding's future
has always looked bright.

1:39:59
[ Burton ]
What's gonna happen
10 years from now?
