“I knew that cliff was below me, this is going to suck, but gotta brace for impact. I probably went 80 to 100 feet.” -Travis Rice

Travis Rice gives a play by play of what took place before, during and after he was taken out by an avalanche in Valdez filming his latest shred flick “The Fourth Phase.” Travis tore some intercostal muscles, displaced a couple ribs, and broke his board vertically and laterally but thankfully wasn’t buried and walked away from this traumatic experience.

Travis talks about the KBYO Campaign at the end of the clip and we highly check out it out and support their efforts to spread avalanche safety knowledge. logow
