Words By Torment Staff Individual Parts

We like to think that a lot of multi-tasking goes on at the Torment office, but seeing certain boarders juggle a full-time business with filming paints the word balance in a whole new light. It's one thing to balance a couple projects at the same time, all while having a sick day to board in between; but, to spearhead something as complex as the Natural Selection Tour and have the time to film a heavy part is a step above impressive. We've seen this before with Joe Sexton's South Paw part and, of course, Chad O's constant pursuit for powder, so we'd be remiss if we didn't group TR into the same bracket.

In similar fashion to the Natural Selection Tour (which should have a live stop pretty soon?), there's a lot of working parts in this short film. Remote Alaskan locations, crazy lines, and insane drone footage. Maybe not be the longest short film we've seen, but any back 3 in this transcends YouTube's time bar.
