The Whole Crew Lost It
“Why do I keep coming back to Japan? This year marked my 14th trip. I know, I’m incredibly lucky. But the motivation is still there. The powder, the food, the photo ideas I haven’t brought to life yet… it’s never enough. I’m proud of this shot of Severin van der Meer in Hokkaido—but I know I can do better. Next year, one more time.” Photo: Julien “Perly” Petry
“Phil Hansen rolled into this spot in Pullman, WA, twice before landing it first try for the upcoming 32 video. Without hesitation, he unstrapped, looked Scott Stevens in the eye, and said, ‘All day Scotty. All day.’ Then he walked straight to the car, and threw his board in the trunk. The whole crew lost it.” Photos: Ely Campeanu
