It was mid-November when I first got wind of The Inside Out Tour through an exceptionally vague, yet equally intriguing email. Jon Stark, the cinematographer mastermind, and brains behind Chicken Meat, Working for The City, and Rendered Useless – just to name a few of his latest projects – was planning a trip to the Netherlands with Cole Navin and Spencer Schubert. With winter knocking on the door across North America the trio was looking to get on snow, but not in your conventional way.
For 10 days they were going to take Holland by storm. With the help of local ripper Kas Lemmens and support from The North Face, the group planned to travel the country and ride in as many indoor domes as they possibly could. The group of urban explorers had little in the way of a plan other than to “use the roof and the walls,” and set off on their trip approaching every turn in the road from a position of spontaneity and with an eagerness for adventure.
It only made sense that I would need to get on a call with the Cole and Spencer upon their return to hear the full story. So here it is, The Inside Out Tour, a snowboard trip like no other, born from the desire to push the boundaries and to start the season on the right foot.
