My brother and I, like many ambitious brothers, share more
than a few dynamic interests. Fitness. Movies. Hunter S. Thompson. Beef jerky. Riverboat
gambling trips. But at the forefront of our similarities is a shared passion
for adventures, new experiences, doing and seeing everything this great life
has to offer. As such, this new Red-Bull-sponsored web series BROTHERS ON THE RUN holds a special
place in my heart.
For our Friday adrenaline rush, then, I present you with the
Jackson brothers, John and Eric. John, a
stoney dreadlocked snowboarder from Crowley Lake, just outside Mammoth, who for
the past few years claimed honors and titles as one of the best snowboarders in
the world. And Eric, the younger brother who, while John recovered from injury last year,
stepped into his own spotlight as an equally-well-regarded pro snowboarder. Just the
intro to this pilot, culled from footage of the Jacksons in ART OF FLIGHT
(John) and People’s GOOD LOOK (Eric) is sick, chock full of footage sure to
make your toes tingle and your adrenal glands pump.
The long and short of it – two brothers, sick snowboarders
and all-around action sport dilettantes (with requisite comical quips and
proficiency with guitars, guns, fishing rods, other action sports like
surfing and rock climbing, as well as an insatiable hunger for travel)
decide to road trip it from AK to Chile, follow one road from top of North America
to bottom of South America, snowboarding and engaging in any and all extreme
activities when the opportunities present themselves. This first episode alone
has some epic spinal fractures, skeet shooting off a fishing boat, and the
promise of what’s sure to be an epic pow run with none other than snowgod
Travis Rice himself.
Let the adventure begin. Happy Friday
- Ryan
