the take over

The D/L's plan to take over the world has finally been placed into action. Of late, we swiftly took over the buttery fresh crew with nothing but brute force and extreme intellect. We're moving in and taking over faster than the swine flu. Rad shredders everywhere beware, you and your crew may be next. 
Scope the team list for pics of our new members.

Whittier rides again!

1:00 PM on memorial day and im like: "snowboarding would be fun" (really original i know) so i call up Trick and talk him into it. Turns out its the last day of snowmachine access in Whittier so we dragged the trailer out and met up with Matt and Trav. We brapped up above treeline to play in the main bowl and this is what we got down on:


cliff jumper action


mr. wild's snow art


slidin'


airin'


matt's foot hurt so TR threw in the bull horns


BRT Air Time!...


this hurt...


hand plant!


all in all it was an awesome day. sun, snow, mountains, ocean, shredtime!


Oh our dearest Diego

Jim broke up with us last april, more than a year ago. Only now have we really accepted the fact he's not coming back. Its time for us to let go. You will remain in our hearts forever friend, or until next season. 





Long weekend

Another epic adventure presented itself over the long weekend. Doom/Love decided that, in order to cover as much territory as possible, we should break into smaller groups. After counting off in twos we went our separate ways. I (Becky) got paired off with Ram, who had an itch to make it to Homer. The first day we traveled South and found our selves in a very crowded Clam Gulch. We loaded up our backpacks and trudged down the busy beach in search of a quiet sanctuary which we could call home for the night.  

Enjoying the evening in Clam Gulch 

Ram in Homer, just watching the world go by

Here I am, sitting and pretending that I don't notice that Josh is taking a picture. 

On the count of 3... 1....2....

3! (I pushed the world down... with my mind)

Stay tuned for more stories and pics from the other group's adventure

Fire and Slush

Last weekend we headed out to Portage Glacier area for some camping with the hopes of shredding some snow, making some art and battling the next morning. We found a nice little spot to squat down by the river for disc tossing, and other activities.


more words later. peace.

Traveling

Here is a little video that I made whilst traveling during January. This is my first editing project that I have worked on for a while... it is a lot more time consuming then I remember. Sorry for the lack of creativity but I just wanted to pop it out so I can go frollic with the crew in the sun and work on more important projects.

It is a little longer then I wanted it to be and doesn't have much snowboarding. So sorry if you get bored. Hope you enjoy... - BRT

Quarter Pipe Finale

Hose, Chango and I (BRT) headed out to Turnagain Pass after an epic night camping at the spot on Bird Point 2 weekends ago. All of the ash from Redoubt was melting the snow fast and we figured it would be our last chance to shred/film a large feature. Our goal was to find a good natural obstacle to construct a 1/2 of a 1/2 pipe to use to grab some air time. After hopping on the sleds, cruising up the hill through the slush, and exploring for a while we finally found something that would work. Minimal time was spent shaping and Ian got to blasting some methods and other stuntricks.

Alaska summer

Alaska has been getting an awesome spring. Super warm, tons of sun, lots of bike riding and bbqs, but that also means our little bit of snow has disappeared quite quick. And any snow we have left is pretty gray because of the ash we got in march. We went up to the bunkers on top of arctic valley to get the last bit of shredding in and try to finish filming our mini movie that may make the cut into the thinkthank's bonus. 
Epic  camp spot #2 for the summer
Ian caught in a trance
Friends and fire
Its a strange day were you see this dude without his ihome
Start perfecting your dance moves now because there will be an epic dance party/rave in this bunker at some point this summer. Putting up decorations.
And of course we did some shredding. There was pretty limited snow, so we had to work pretty hard to set up the dinkiest little stuff, but it was fun. 

polaroid week

I got a few boxes of film last week just in time for polaroid week. This 1960's  instant camera gives me some of the best results i've ever gotten with a camera. Thank you thrift store. Here's a few shots from our last few camping trips and shred missions.

I found this gem a couple of weeks ago. Our good friend Jim has this unique dance style that he must have taught the hippies in the video. The contents of the video may make some people unconfortable... However, it makes me want to dance.
