    Japan & Russia & AK

    Been injured for the last 3 months and been looking through pretty much all the TR's on here, so thank you to all the contributors for helping me keep my sanity. Also gave me some ideas for this years spring trip. The TGR community is a pretty special and full of wicked people.

    Cheers for all the stoke!

    Here are some of my shaky, mostly pov and horribly soundtracked videos for anyone else in need of wasting time or inspiration or whatever.

    Japan 2018 - Was a ridiculous winter, brought the camera out a few times



    Kamchatka 2018 - Did a 2 week trip to Kamchatka and took the camera out when we could see



    AK 2017 - Had some killer weather in Thompson Pass



    How I hurt myself - LisFranc injury. 11 weeks and counting no weight bearing.....



    Stay Healthy!

    Kamchatka trip deserves a write-up.

    While I agree with your assessment of your soundtrack selection skills, I am inspired. Were these all personal trips, or were you working?

    Agreed! Did you do this in conjunction with Japan?

    I can do a TR for Kamchatka for sure, will get on it.

    I work in Japan for winters, so got my VISA and flew out of there. Japan was on off days, Russia and AK were personal trips.

    Nice work man, except the injury obviously. Thats a hefty stepdown for no full face. Still havent made it to any of those tracks yet.

    thanks to the peeps on here who helped motivate for this trip! i used quite a bit of info on here to plan this trip. pretty mellow due to the injury and no massive weather windows, but pretty much nailed it in Georgia and Norway. starting to plan the next adventure, and will put up some TR's soon for these trips as well.
