The DVD follows the crew through their adventures on the hill with friends and riders such as Dylan Hood, Bryce Phillips, Erin Valverde Pollard, Sammy Carlson, Shin Campos, Garrett Russell, Griffin Cummings, Josh Frazier, Christian Sirianni and Tommy Ellingson. It also chronicles the relentless traveling, flat tires, broken sleds, fast food, early mornings, and injuries that inevitably ensued throughout the season.
