My friend Shayne Pospisil told me the other day that he was driving to Alaska. I said damn you are so lucky, have fun, stay safe. A couple days later my friend Mark Sullivan sent me an email saying “Yo you guys should come to Alaska”.

Little did I know that these guys were all preparing for a mountain adventure to be know as Tailgate Alaska and that it would be publicized on freecaster.tv Not that the publicity would have made a difference but these guys are up there shredding and learning with Mountain Legend Nick Perata. I mean the guy must have over a decade of AK riding under his belt. Stoked to see that this is going good for everyone up there. Wish I could be there. For all the other people that cannot make it up to Tailgate Alaska here are two videos that give you an idea of what is going on there.

This is Tailgate Alaska. Witness the world’s most legendary terrain and the world’s most legendary riders face off again this spring to push the limits of what man and snowboard can accomplish – all from the comfort of your living room.
