“Brace yourself for a new breed of action sports film: The Art of FLIGHT, premiering

September 7, 2011 at New York Citys Beacon Theatre, combines meaningful storytelling
and character development with sport progressing action. Snowboarder Travis Rice,
along with a cast of the best riders in the world, completes a two-year quest to redefine
whats possible on a snowboard. Red Bull Media House, in association with Brain Farm
Digital Cinema, present a Curt Morgan film captured on state-of-the-art filmmaking
equipment, much of which has been custom designed just for this project. The world
premiere will be followed by a global premier cinema tour with the attendance of
several riders. The Art of FLIGHT comes to Blu-ray, DVD and iTunes worldwide on
September 8, 2011.

Travis Rice handpicks his accomplices from a list of the best snowboarders of our time
including two-time Rider of the Year John Jackson, Mark Landvik, Olympic medalist
Scotty Lago, Nicolas Muller, DCP, Jake Blauvelt, Pat Moore, Jeremy Jones and more. Join
in their sometimes successful, often trying quest to open up new mountain zones and
approach unexplored mountains from completely unique angles. Chilean Patagonias
Darwin Range, Alaskas Tordrillo Range, Wyomings Snake River Range, Aspen, Colorado,
the Andes, as well as British Columbias Kootenay Mountains, Revelstoke and Goat
Range are the stage for this epic production.

Through the riders full immersion into the making of this film, we are able to show in
the truest way what it is like it for us to travel to some of the most remote places on
earth and search out the most dynamic terrain and conditions, says Rice. Our
triumphs and tribulations are conveyed in this darker, more dramatic film. Throughout
we walk a fine line between when to keep pushing it and when to pull back.
Equal parts stunning action and harrowing adventure mix with the inevitable drama
encountered along the way, presenting viewers with an exclusive opportunity to
experience these endeavors virtually firsthand. With unprecedented access enabled by

unusual camera equipment and angles, the audience will share in the experience.”
