Getting In - Jeremy Jones’ Further Unplugged Episode 2 Video from TGR

January 16th, 2012

Teton Gravity Research presents Getting In - Jeremy Jones’ Further Unplugged Episode 2

In episode 2 of Further Unplugged, Jeremy Jones takes his crew way north to the island of Svalbard in Norway, in the Arctic Circle. In the town of Longyearbyen, they pack for their trip and meet up with fellow snowboarder Terje Haakonsen. It takes them three days to pack a week’s worth of food and gear onto snowmobiles, which they then ride 180 kilometers north. The anticipated relatively short and manageable trip to camp turns into a 30-hour ordeal as multiple sleds get stuck in the melting ice. But the snowboarding terrain Jeremy discovers makes the trip worth it.

Further Unplugged takes you behind the scenes of Jeremy Jones’ two-year snowboarding film, Further. Get an inside glimpse of what goes on between the lines as Jones and other top riders including Terje Haakonsen, Xavier De Le Rue and Josh Dirksen travel to exotic locations such as Japan, the Arctic Circle and the Wrangell-St. Elias Wilderness. Challenges arise around every corner as this crew attempts to push their minds and bodies further.
