The life-span of most things on the internet can be measured in nanoseconds.
In a world of Instagram, memes, and Youtubers, longevity is rare.
With that in mind, LINE Travelling Circus is in its 11th year and still keeping us entertained.
School friends Will Wesson and Andy Parry started the series way back in 2008.
Growing up in New York state and breaking through withMeathead Films,winning thePowderAwards best Jib in 2008.
I just really like skiing so I just kept skiing.
After the first year, theLINEguys were so stoked on it they asked us to do more.
Here we are 11 years later and were still going.
So what if it hadnt taken off?
Wed have probably gone back to school or wed have gotten normal jobs and been normal people!
I filmed at every opportunity.
You still have to make some compromises on whats your dream idea and whatll actually work in reality.
Youve got weather, gravity and a bunch of things to keep you in your place.
When you could, dream big.
Thats what I was really drawn to, the creative process or whatever you want to call it.
Its a lot of work to make your vision come to reality but when it works its the best.
Thats also what makes it fun, there are lots of surprises.
The skiing near most of the cities might not be so great.
Skiing is totally new for people over there so its cool.
Theres definitely internet videos but they dont have a lot of things that we have.
Anything is skiable if you try hard enough.

Will has a voracious appetite for travel and his world tour wont end in China.
Thats a whole new world I want to explore.
I like going somewhere new and seeing what you’re free to ski on there.
It doesnt matter if its some famous place or somewhere that no one has skied on.
Its always fun to go somewhere new and test your ideas and skiing on whatevers there.
Here’s to another 10 years!
Will Wessons favorite:
Trip:Its hard to choose one place.
But an all-around place that Ive had great experiences, whether its icy, powder or rails is Japan.
Track:I actually dont listen to music when I ski, I get too carried away!
