This is what it’s all about - community, creativity, and riders redefining what’s possible.

Grateful for everyone who showed up, tuned in, and made it what it was. Until next year😭😭

Thank you to all of our sponsors - it wouldn’t be possible without you🫶

A mad scientist and his creation. We’d be cooked without you @benbilocq ☠️ 🙏🏽

@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.

That’s a wrap!!! See you next year with twice the confetti! 😈 🎉 ❤️‍🔥

Video cred: Henna
QP cred: Benoit

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 :)

#pleasureplayback #pleasuremag #snowboarding

Can’t wait to reveal what Ben is cooking up for this year’s course!!

The Uninvited Japan Open was a special one to witness and be a part of. The riding level and style was unreal but seeing the impact of what Jess has done to shake up the industry and inspire so many riders was moving.

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.
