Christmas has split up the crew. B$ and I (ram) have migrated to the east coast for some family time and christmas festivities. Now that we arent spending all our time christmas caroling, feeding santas reindeer(see below) and drinking eggnog, we have been able to get a little shred time in.

Maine doesn't have much to offer as far as backcountry goes, so we have been getting our turns in on snowmachine trails.

B$ mobbin through the woods with dogs following close behind

We have been trying to find some obstacles to do tricks on. We've found a few things but the tricks are proving to be harder than I once thought.

B$ gettin it done

We have been working hard over the last couple of weeks shredding and pulling together ideas and other pieces to make Doom/Love legit. The crew hit up some homestyle urban elements over the past weekend. Here is a taste of what is to come in the film...

We set up some lights and snagged some shots at this secret (not really) location. Unfortunately Ian dislocated his shoulder for the 40th time and was out for the rest of the weekend...

Got the shot!

Banger

We went up to arctic valley yesterday. It was snowing alot so we just played around on the wood rails at the lodge. Heres a few shots.

having fun in the snow

Finally a little more snow in town to play with after the work day is done. Went and set up a couple fun top secret jibs at an undisclosed, utltra TOP supersecret, classified, hush-hush, under wraps, on the DL, restricted, confidential, private, exclusive, covert, secluded, mysterious, shadowy, undercover, incognito spot... this sh$z is so secret i'm whispering this in my head and I'm still scared for my life...

Ram Time Style.


Extreme Face Banger.

i think im in to blogging again.

hmm. wow.

maybe the coolest skate part ever

a little diddy from a snowboard adventure we recently had embarked on. still haven't figured out a good way to load video to the internet. so this is what you get.

finally, everything came together as we wished and the junkyard showed its full potential (minus a few friends being MIA and an injury). there was lots of airtime, boxsliding, inverted aerials, hoots and hollers, meat on the grill, snowball fights, crashes, beers, friends, sun... all the necessities to a good little spring session. it was a good ender session for the junkyard. here are a few pics from the day.

the party pit
the party pit was perfectly placed to see all the action. brendan droppin in
runa did two backflips in one single air earlier in the day, this backy was just icing on the cake
the session moved to smaller obstacles as the day wore on and the beers gradually disappeared

unfortunately, there was an injury. leah kneed a concrete block, in return the block broke her knee cap. physics are a bitch. this is here angry/tough face

yesterday we moseyed up to arctic valley to get some of the last pow turns of the year and try out my new sims blade 1710

after summiting the steep slopes of arctic valley and getting yelled at for hiking up some guys precious figure eight turns, it was on.

as it turns out, sims blew it in discontinuing the blade because it is the single greatest pow carver known to man (even without the heel strap of your bindings).

definitely the best powder shredding i have ever had on any april 27th in my whole life.

slush cup practice

yesterday we went up to hilltop for the annual puddle skimming at the ski jumps. the last few days of sun had perfectly primed the puddle. first, we had a few practices on the small side to get a few slashers in.

next we moved to the big side for extreme water crossing

the crossing provided to be too extreme for some (too extreme for all except little hozer)

the ice means its cold

we also got down on a little grass gapper

Fun in the sun

The crew (minus broken ian) headed to the slopes of magnificient Alyeska resort for a splendifulous afternoon of denim filled pencil airs, mini-grabs, and tree sleuthing. Everyone represented hard with hoots and hollas a plenty. Check it...

Ramy pulled away with the banger...most extreme air of the year!


Supposedly these trees were talking smack to B$. I didn't hear what they said but the reprecussions were terrifying... Needless to say she made them her bitch with some intimidating physical contact.

the last few days at hilltop

late season snow

just as spring seemed to be in full bloom, anchorage was blessed/cursed with a few inches of new snow giving us one more chance to get down on a few shred features. yesterday, hoze and ram created and got down on a little bmx rythum set.

on sunday , after a fun filled night of gangster posing, battle dancing, toy gun slingin and sippin on syrup, we proceeded to the dimond railing. tricks were done, and landon left with the mvp.


we continued through the night hittin fun obstacles that were unfortunately plagued with flaws and overpopulated with bored police.

the junkyard has also continued to get lots of play. we have continued to add features and enjoy other extracirricular activities to pass the time.
