Jess Kimura Presents | The Uninvited II

“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build your own door”

Hold on to your hats chaps, Jess Kimura has finally dropped the hotly anticipated sequel to The Uninvited, her 2018 smash hit all-girls snowboard bonanza! The Uninvited II follows a group of rad ladies, hailing from all corners of the globe and many different walks of life, connected by a passion for snowboarding and on a mission to tear the industry a new one.

Jess describes The Uninvited II as an “all-girls snowboard movie built on a wing and a prayer, featuring an aspiring group of riders with more talent than budgets”. Jess Kimura doesn’t just break down barriers, she dropkicks them into oblivion, making sure to headbutt a few glass ceilings on her way past.

Aside from the hammer tricks and the sick spots, The Uninvited does a really awesome job of highlighting upcoming riders. They might not be the most famous snowboarders, with lists of heavy sponsors and pro models coming out the wazoo, but they’re coming out swinging with some of the sauciest riding we’ve seen in a hot minute.

In 2018 we saw young Anniina Perhovaara doing her thing and now we’re treated to some bangers from Himari Takamori. At 12 years old she’s already a bigger ripper than we’ll ever hope to be. Seeing these young female riders rubbing shoulders with the big dogs and going toe to toe with features bigger than them is a massive leap in the right direction for women’s snowboarding.

Keep your eyes peeled for one of our current favourite riders, rail queen Miyon Yamaguchi back swinging jaws with her smoother than sin style. For real, this chick has got a bag of tricks deeper than the Mariana Trench and she ain’t afraid to use them. Also Scandi ripper Ylfa Runardottir is killing it, she’s certainly on our “one to watch’ list for the future. In fact, the whole crew are, we see nothing but big things coming from these rad ladies.

The Uninvited II just goes to show what’s possible when you’ve got a whole tank of gas and a refusal to accept the status quo. A bastion of hope amongst the male dominated snowboard industry, we hope this isn’t the last we see from Jess and her merry band of badasses.

Featuring: Ylfa Rúnarsdóttir, Miyon Yamaguchi, Naima Antolin, Taylor Elliot, Maggie Leon, Darrah Reid, Elena Graglia, Corrine Pasela, Kaleah Opal, Himari Takamori and many more…
