@jess.kimura sacrifices a lot of good riding days to provide the best 4 days of the year to the next generation of riders. It’s a pleasure and an honour to be able to help and witness her accomplishments. Here’s Jess having a taste of the refried leftovers.

As The North Face is celebrating 40 years of their iconic Base Camp Duffel…we are also celebrating 4 years of presenting partnership for The Uninvited Invitational! One of my favorite parts of the event (besides writing out the checks) is seeing the riders receive our iconic gift bags in custom TNF x Uninvited Base Camp Duffels. Even moreso, seeing them show up years later, time after time all over the planet. These are the best, most durable, most versatile bags in the world and we are so grateful to TNF for their generosity in making sure the girls receive what basically turns into a family heirloom, because good luck actually destroying one in this lifetime!!!
Pleasure Playback: @jess.kimura in @capitasupercorp Defenders of Awesome 2 - STAY BADASS (2014) 📼
After years of dropping parts and making her mark, Jess brought @the__uninvited to life as a video production, later turning it into one of the biggest events in snowboarding.
Right now, we're just three days out from the 4th UNINVITED Invitational, and we'll be there to witness it live and to cover it all. 🎉
Stay tuned and come say hi if you're around @woodwardparkcity this week :)

There aren’t many words that can accurately capture the energy of the Uninvited Japan Open, but these photos come pretty close.
We’ll say it again: the world needs to see these riders — recognize them, know them, follow them. Every one of them is on the come-up.

Uninvited Japan Openのエネルギーを正確に言葉で表すのは難しいですが、これらの写真はかなり近いものがあります。
