National Geographic (the magazine) has nominated 10 people for it’s Adventurer of the Year People’s Choice award. Nestled in there with climbers, adventurers, and other (energy drink sponsored athletes including surfer Carissa Moore) is Travis Rice.
Filming for the highly anticipated film The Art of Flight, which he co-produced with Brain Farm Digital Cinema’s Curt Morgan and Chad Jackson, Rice took the staggering aerial tricks usually reserved for the relative safety of the manicured, avalanche-controlled terrain parks made popular by the X Games and the Olympics, and applied them to the big mountains.
