The third installment of the popular snowboarding movie series "Car Danchi"! After two years, the car-danchi crew has started their engines. This is the ultimate freeride snowboarding movie that expresses the riders' relentless pursuit of freedom through snowboarding. In search of the ultimate winter lifestyle, the riders once again leave the city and head to the mountains. The car-danchi residents, who continue to pursue the best conditions, become even more addicted to the feeling of snowboarding, and feel free to fly in the powder snow of northern Japan. This 56-minute action documentary was shot entirely on natural terrain by Japan's top freeriders.
