Screw Slow Mo: Baker Boyd Enjoys Japan in Full Speed

One of the trends that has arisen in the ski industry over the past few years, as Japan has evolved from "kinda-sorta-hidden-gem" to "top destination for every gaper and their brother," is emergence of the hyper slow-mo saturated Japan edit.

The edits, by and large, tend to follow a pretty formulaic equation: Endless amounts of Japow + gratuitous usage of slow-mo = a video that can allow even the most basic skiers look like pros. But Polartec athlete Baker Boyd isn't for that slow-mo life. 

Take your artsy-fartsy slow-mo edit and shove it: Baker Boyd is here to rip. Takanori Ota photo.

As a member of Aspen's infamous crew "The Freaks"–who call themselves "Aspen's fastest skiing gang"–Boyd is all about one thing: hot, bitchin' speed. And during a recent visit to the Land of the Rising Sun to visit Teton Bros co-founder Nori Suzuki and show that the deep stuff looks just as good when it isn't shot at 1,000 fps.

Traveling is something that broadens your mind.  I’ ve visited many countries and seen many cities. But ski resorts are still a mystery. This also applies to writing skills, so I prefer <a >legally buying essay papers</a>  . I think it’s the best solution in my case.
