 Hey guys, remember fun? Before all the serious races, massive jumps, people getting busted up and all the hits of adrenaline, before we all got too serious and stopped enjoying riding because we weren't winning enough, pinning enough or going big enough? Remember that? Because I forgot.

Thanks for the reminder guys

 Such a feel good edit, loved it

 This looks fun! I don't know anything about snowboarding, but are they just using regular snowboards? I'd assume this would trash up the board a bit more than snow would...am I right?

I want to try this!

 That might be what I'm doing this winter with the amount of snow on the hills at the moment.

 @fr3err1d3r

It's kinda like snowboarding on icey hardpack snow. And yes they were normal snowboards that are now thrashed. Would take some love to make nice again. Brett was on an older Burton Custom and his brother was on a Bataleon.

 For those who have never tried ripping a gravel pit on a snowboard or skis...it is a blast...just a tip, keep out of the way of the guy above you cause he'll send rocks down an chip your tooth if you're not careful! Great edit, loved the music!

 So what wax is best for dirt-boarding?
  • 15 1
 Tippie kindly showed a few of us that spot a few years ago but we all just straight lined it. The fear was too strong to try and turn. It's fecking steep! Also props for putting together a vid with music that doesn't totally suck!

 Who else is going to be looking for a gravel pit tomorrow??? That looked like so much fun!

 this vid couldn't have come at a better time. Was out for a walk with the wife today and found a massive mountain of dirt at a housing development. Just a few piles of dirt...and now this has me more motivated to go ride it before it's gone!

 Best video I'v seen in a while! Laughter was the one of the best parts! Topped it off to show how much fun there having. I love seeing people of all ages enjoying the sport and loving and laughing like they were! Now that is what you want for motivation to ride! Nothing better then being pumped to have fun! ALSO! Some reaallyyy talented riding in both areas there, on bikes and snow boards! Don't imagine it's easy to get down those hills!! Faved this one for sure! Great video in every way!
  • 6 1
 That opening scene totally screwed with my sense of scale - it looked like a couple of tire tracks going from left to right across the screen and then tiny 2" high people come by on snowboards.
Also, I've never appreciated that song that much before. This video made it awesome!
  • 5 0
 huge smile on my face the whole time. i swear ive seen tippie doing this before, years and years ago almost before mountainbiking. in a snowboard movie. can anyone help me out on which one, or if im right or wrong. tippie your my hero
  • 14 0
 ok I can tell you! (I'm his wife). It was in Burton's 1994 Shadrach Meshack Abednigo! Same gravel pits, 18 years ago! Here's the link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKNRYb2Vx0M

 Now THAT was a great way to start a Monday. Tippie's laugh is so infectious. Ride a chair or two with him in the summer, and see if you can make it to the top without nearly peeing yourself.

 Whole video is absolutely cool. Serious shredding, a funny crash and a nice landscape. Then when you think it can't be much better, Tippi starts laughing and this is just a hell of fun.

 Hey, Brett, you probably ought to be doing more riding and filming than being on the mike. Your mike antics are great, but I want to see more footage of you shredding. My two cents, that all. Great video.
