[VIDEO] Pro Surfer Kai Lenny Puts Up Double Backflips and Rides Out Avalanche While Riding In The Alaska Backcountry With Travis Rice

Kai Lenny is no stranger to stressful situations, but this may have shaken him a little. The Life of Kai is a Red Bull Series following the Professional Athlete through his travels, this time, he visited his friend and snowboard legend, Travis Rice, in the Alaska Backcountry.

While it seems Kai had it dialed in, Mother Nature always is there to remind you who is in charge. During the episode, the two discuss how the transfer of surfing to skateboarding to snowboarding all correlate among many other topics.

Former Pro Surfer, now Filmmaker Keith Malloy, was along for the trip, and this is what he had to say:

“Yeah, I think Kai was just totally letting Travis lead the way. But Kai kind of blew everyone away because the cinematographer and the photographer that were with us were like, ‘OK, Kai can ride a little bit,’ and then by the end of the trip, they’re like, ‘Oh my god, Kai has gotten so comfortable, so quickly.’ He kind of blew everyone’s mind. So, it was definitely a situation where Travis was the ringleader, and Kai had full respect and was just thankful to be up there with him.

It was one of Kai’s dreams to do this kind of trip with Travis, though. I think Kai was going beyond his limits, but trusted Travis, and Travis knew what Kai was capable of after a couple of rounds, and they just went balls to the wall. “
