"Travis Rice films are the essence of snowboarding. They remind you why snowboarding feels so addictive and meaningful. Every project he touches carries intention and emotion. Big lines. Mother Nature. Human vulnerability. His movies make you want to grab your board and chase something deeper in nature. Here are the top 5 we feel here at SnowBrains that really capture the soul of the sport."
"Visually the film is stunning. Wide aerials that show the unimaginable scale. Cuts that let the mountains talk. It's one of the first snowboard movies that felt like it deserved a theater screen, not a TV. That's It That's All broke the mold. It proved snowboard films could be cinematic without losing soul. It built the global audience for Travis Rice and pulled snowboarding into a bigger conversation about adventure, nature, and storytelling."
"It's still massive with global travel and huge terrain but there is a heavier emotional layer woven through the film. Rice ties the film to the water cycle of the North Pacific and it gives the whole movie this natural rhythm of storms forming, drifting, and dissolving. If That's It That's All, laid the groundwork and The Art of Flight blew the doors off the genre,"
Travis Rice films are presented as the essence of snowboarding, combining intention, emotion, big lines, and human vulnerability to inspire riders toward nature. That's It That's All (2008) is described as a foundational, cinematic leap, featuring groundbreaking helicopter tracking shots across New Zealand, storm-day documentary-like footage in Jackson Hole, and sharp Alaska spines, proving snowboard films could deserve theater screening and building Rice's global audience. The Fourth Phase shifts inward while remaining massive, weaving a heavier emotional layer around the North Pacific water cycle and a natural rhythm of storms forming, drifting, and dissolving, aiming to address larger questions behind each line.
