GoPro is taking you for a ride on the icy slopes in its new webseries, GoPro Perspectives: The Fourth Phase with Travis Rice. This series comes off the back of the release of the Red Bull Media House film, The Fourth Phase.
The film took several years to make as it followed snowboard superstar Travis Rice’s mission to track the movement of the North Pacific Gyre wind currents.
At various stages of this journey, Rice was able to snowboard down lines in several of the locations the current touches upon. GoPro supplied their action cameras for the making of the movie, which meant plenty of first person footage straight from Rice’s helmet as he sped and swirled down icy mountainsides. Since the release of The Fourth Phase in August, GoPro has gone through the hundreds of hours of footage recorded and put together a selection of four episodes.
