Red Bull Ultra Natural 2013 - Biggest event in Snowboarding...

Pat Moore flies the open skies at Red Bull Ultra Natural.
Last year it was Supernatural, now the team at Red Bull along with main brain stormer, Travis Rice, present the Ultra Natural. Backcountry terrain mixed with man made saddles, drop offs and jumps with some of the top riders in the world over one day. This event takes riding to another level!
In the end, Austria's Gigi Rüf stood on top of the podium after putting together a creative run showcasing his unique style, utilizing a variety of both the natural and man-made features on the mile long course. Switzerland's Nicolas Müller not only took second place but was also presented the Best Trick Award with a gigantic mute air over a tree, sending himself nearly 100-feet down the 45+ degree course.
Rounding out the podium was Southern California's Bryan Fox, a first-timer at Red Bull Ultra Natural and a late addition to the event as a wildcard entry.

The Art of Flight - Special Teaser Videos



To say I am excited about the imminent release of Travis Rice's new movie, The Art of Flight, would be like saying it would be nice to have my own Island in Sumatra. His previous film, Thats it Thats All, changed the face of Action Sports Cinema forever and Red Bull Media House and Brain Farm have apparently held nothing back in the Production of the Art of Flight.

Making a big budget Cinematic Snowboarding Movie is not easy though, just check out the "Special Features - Making a Snowboard Movie is Easy" short:


These guys are not messing around this time. They went looking for the biggest, scariest and previously unridden terrain for the movie. Check out this line, by John Jackson, from the "Special Features":




The movie is being released later this month and we have been promised that there will be Premiers in Cape Town and Jozi. So hold onto your panties people, the greatest Snowboard Movie of all time is on the way. You can help unlock more special features on the Facebook Page, just go HERE. Check out the "Metal" teaser:
