Art of Flight: The Series

The fun crew of Travis Rice, Mark Landvick, DCP and Curt Morgan set off to Canada with high expectations for what is to be the first shoot of The Art of Flight Movie. After stress at the border, the team arrives in Canada only to find bad weather, high avalanche danger and risky helicopter situations. When Mark Landvick gets caught in an avalanche, what was supposed to be a great beginning, turns into a scary, expensive and a rough start for The Art of Flight production.

Pressure and adventure increase as time passes for the Art Of Flight crew who are still far from civilization deep in the Alaskan Tordrillo mountain range. During bad weather the riders take to creating explosions and axe throwing while director Curt Morgan watches his budget dwindle. Finally the weather breaks and what ensues is a display of incredible big mountain snowboarding matched with unrivaled cinematography. After prompting from snowboarding hero Jeremy Jones the crew decides to push even deeper into the Alaskan back country to ride the infamous mountain peak known as “The Wizard of Ahh’s”. Alaska finally delivers what was promised.

After devastating earthquakes and a volcanic eruption, The Art of Flight crew and riders find themselves stranded in Chile unsure of what to do next. After an attempt to snowboard near the volcano, local authorities ask them to leave the area. Jake Blauvelt and Scotty Lago throw in the towel and head home. This leaves Curt and Travis with no choice but to enlist pro snowboarder Mark Landvick to meet them at the end of the world: Patagonia. Once in Chilean Patagonia Curt, Travis, Mark and their guides find themselves pioneers in the most dramatic and dangerous terrain they have ever encountered.

This is the last The Art of Flight shoot and with nothing to lose and everything to gain Curt and Travis decide to move production to Aspen, Colorado. Aspen has been working for weeks to build a custom super pipe and a huge gap jump just for TheArt of Flight. When everyone arrives including pro snowboarders Scotty Lago, Mark Landvick, Jack and Luke Miatraoni, Mark McMorris, Eric Willette, Danny Davis and Sebastian Toutant they all learn that the new jump and half pipe are not ready and Curt has fallen very ill. Travis and the film crew must step up and work without their director Curt Morgan to save this last shoot and potentially the film itself. While the snowboard action they get in Aspen is great only the on-line reaction to the Art of Flight teaser and the New York City movie premiere will decide the fate of this massive effort by Travis and Curt known as The Art of Flight.
