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

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.

[ Burton ]
What's gonna happen
10 years from now?
1:40:01
What, are they gonna be
getting 40 feet out of the pipe
or 10 rotations in the air?
1:40:05
Nobody can tell you where
snowboarding's going to be in 10 years
or what riders are gonna be doing,
1:40:09
but, for sure, it's gonna progress.
1:40:16
It's changed in size.
People go way bigger now
'cause the jumps are bigger.
1:40:20
People go fatter in the pipe
'cause the pipe's fatter,you know.
1:40:22
But, really, it all comes down
to visualization...
1:40:25
and what you can think of
in your mind.
1:40:31
I look at a mountain completely different
than a person that might just be
a recreational skier does.
1:40:35
I see the mountain
as a gigantic terrain park.
1:40:38
Everything's rideable,
everything's doable
in some way or another.
1:40:41
Your mind always got to be working,
and that's how you learn tricks.
1:40:45
That's how you progress the sport.
That's everything. Your mind's gotta be open.
1:40:50
I think the next level in snowboarding
is starting to happen now.
1:40:53
I mean, all of us have learned
all these freestyle tricks.
1:40:57
So, we're all starting to take that
into the backcountry where
the elements are unpredictable,
