Built To Ride - Japan - Episode 2 of 4

Quebec City is known for its early starts to its frigid winters. Last year a crew made up of Alex Cantin, Austin Hironaka and friends headed into the snowy city and came out with some heavy trickery. We're proud to introduce ‘Built To Ride’, this 4 episode series is slated to drop every 2 weeks starting Oct. 7th and features the RIDE team shredding spots all over North American and Japan.

It’s no mistake that “B.C.” is synonymous for both British Columbia and Back Country. In the fourth and final installment of the Built To Ride series, Beau Bishop, Trevan Salmon and Austin Hironaka packed up their sleds, brought out the snorkels and dropped in on some of the best pow lines of their year. You’ll be itching for your first powder day after watching the RIDE crew rip chest deep chowder turns left and right.

Along for the Ride is the new snowboard movie released for free on the internet sby Ride Snowboards. Here are the parts of Austin Hironaka & Sam Hulbert.

Domo arigato, Japan, we love you!

They promised us sun, warm temperatures and a perfect slushy park. You know it's Go-Time when the shapers themselves drag yo...
