Brothers on the Run

Brothers John and Eric Jackson plan their epic journey across the Americas. Starting their trip in Alaska, it makes sense that they should kick off with some bluebird heli-riding with Travis Rice.

Reaching the end of the highway doesn't stop the crew, who take a boat out to surf some icy waves with Ian Walsh. Then it's off to the Slush Cup before four days of shredding with Pat Moore.

The guys make it to Nelson to meet up with some friends of Craig Kelly, the snowboard legend who made the same trip before his death. Then it's off to shred Dante's Peak before heading into Mexico.

The crew rolls into Pasquales for a surf session with Bruce Irons before starting the next leg of the journey. The vibes are good, but the guys are way behind schedule when they get to El Salvador.

The brothers find some beautiful surf in Nicaragua and head to Casa Betesda Orphanage. After painting rooms and school the groms with some skate tips, they fly to Chile to shred some ridiculous snow.

A moment of miscalculation in Chile winds up sending John and Eric to the hospital. Ian Walsh stays behind to surf a big swell while he awaits word from the brothers on whether they can continue.
