    Japan Backcountry Adventures

    The past few days have been filled with adventures. Our snowmobiles have been overworked and over utilized, but that didn't stop us from getting to some of the most uninhabited regions of Hokkaido, Japan.

However, we haven't had weather cooperating to hit it, but we expect to get a good session in the near...

    Getting Adventurous

    Clayton and I went out yesterday and stepped out a pretty fun jump that was recently featured with the Nimbus crew. We opened up the landing a little bit so it is possible to take it a few different ways instead of one through a 5 ft margin of landing. We each got to hit it once but the...

    Want to be Joseph Smith?
