Teaser 2 stars Capita Defender & “Danger Pony” Jess Kimura.
Her part in Left Brain, Right Brain earned her Women’s Video Part of the Year at Transworld’s 12th Annual Riders Poll Awards…could Miss Kimura’s part in the upcoming Capita video be, dare-we-say?, even MORE awesome? (we’re thinking “oh yes”)

It’s hard to believe it’s Teaser season already (but we’re not complaining)
GIVIN was formed by Keegan Valaika & cinematographer Aaron Hooper to create “real” snowboard vids with a talented & experienced crew. Their One teaser is an exciting mash-up of clips that stays true to their “keep it real” philosophy; heavy on the riding, light on the lifestyle shots.

Watch Forest Bailey, Keegan Valaika, Wyatt Stasinos, Shayne Pospisil, Timmy Ronan, Cody Rosenthal, Doran Laybourn, Jonas Michilot, Robbie Walker, Alex Stathis, Brendan Keenan, Nick Russell, Mason Aguirre, Jake Koia, Benny Urban, & friends in the full-length version of One this fall.
