Calling all snowkids!

This is Travis Rice's most recent and EPIC snowboard video. That's It That's All (featuring T Rice, Nicolas Muller, Terje Hakonsen, Jeremy Jones and others) is currently making its way to the top of the charts in this year's snowboard scene and many are saying that it could be the best snowboarding video of all time! In this snowboarding masterpiece, co-produced by Curt Morgan and T Rice, the boarders take to the mountains of New Zealand, B.C, Tokyo, Munich and Jackson Hole. Whispers of the budget for this film range anywhere from 1.5 and 2 million!

Some friends from the snowboarding team here at UO and I got in on a trip to Portland for the premier a few weeks ago. We piled on a short bus and headed to P-town for the evening to meet our friends and hundreds of other snow dudes n' bunnies to view the video for the first time surrounded by others that are as passionate as we all are about the sport. Half the fun of the experience was the setting. This video brought together a community of people. The event was more than just watching the video, it was coming together as a people with a common interest. We all had a blast and a few of us even got to talk to Travis after the show. It was awesome to hear him talk about the video and answer questions from the audience. A few other riders from the video were there as well. After the show we hopped back on the bus and headed back to Eugene.

This past week was the That's it That's All premier for the UO campus. It was talked about and buzzed around campus and the snowboarding community for a few weeks leading up to the event. It brought together all the kids on campus that are interested in and involved in the snowboarding scene here. For a few hours ,the students and non-students of Eugene could get together and share their passion with others interested in similar things. Before the show where was a raffle, giveaways, challenges and merchandise giveaways. Admission was charged and a part of the proceeds went to the UO snowboarding team.

Events like these are great for building community! They give people a chance to get together and have some fun while surrounded by friends. Money was raised and a good time was had by all!
