This is part two (here’s part 1) of Tom Burt’s Powder & Rails episode. For those whose snowboard memory fails them – Tom Burt redefined what snowboarding is, pioneered big mountain lines, and influenced generations of riders, among them Jeremy Jones and Nicolas Müller. Go watch this, it’s like history lessons in rad.

We’ve been into Vice Magazine’s Powder and Rails series from the beginning, and you seem to have warmed to it, too. Without further ado, here’s the first part of legendary backcountry rider Tom Burt, one of the most influential snowboarders of all time.

Vice continue their trip down memory lane with the third part of their Powder & Rails special on Standard Films.

If you missed the first two episodes, they are here and here.

The epic story of the Hatchetts and their crew of riders continues in part 3. Instead of letting a broken hip and a snapped femur end his snowboarding career in 1994, Dave Hatchett, under the guidance of brother Mike, picks up a 16mm camera and gets behind the lens for the 1995 season. Dave’s previous backcountry skills came in handy when in 1997 he belayed himself down to a cliff ban and creatively shot a now famous Tom Burt first descent on the TB Spines near Donner Pass. The Hatchetts continued their streak of cultivating the careers of some of the best riders ever through the late 90s and well into the 00s. They found a then-unheard-of Jeremy Jones dirt-bagging it in Alaska and gave him the closing part in TB6, fostered a non-English speaking Finn named Jussi Oksanen, pulled Lonnie Kauk away from his janitorial duties at Mammoth Mountain, and gave big mountain rider Xavier De La Rue from France parts in their films.

Vice’s historically-laced Powder & Rails series is back to cast its all-seeing eye over the Standard Films legacy. As with last week’s Part 1, this is 10 minutes of compulsory internetting.

If you watched Part 1 last week you’ll be frothing for this. If you missed Part 1, watch it now and then come back and watch this. This has footage of and chat about Johan Olofsson’s legendary TB5 part in it goddamnit! It also drives home the intensity of working on producing the backcountry hero shots that many take for granted. Essential viewing.

Deeper Unplugged – a behind-the-scenes look at the making of freeride big dawg Jeremy Jones’ two-year movie that will be covermounted on Onboard next winter – rolls into its fifth episode.

Jeremy’s one of those riders for whom the hike and the experience of being way out in the mountains is as important as the act of riding, so last year he assembled a full-on gnarl dog crew (Travis Rice, Johan Olofsson, Jonaven Moore, Tom Burt and himself), chartered a light aircraft for a bunch of days to fly the crew and their supplies far beyond where helis can take them and pitched up in the wilderness for a couple of weeks. This is Jeremy explaining the mission…
