Throwback 4

A few days ago i was looking for a snowboard clip on my video camera. While i was searching for the said clip, I came across quite a few other enjoyable clips. I decided to throw them in a timeline, add a cool song and share with the blogsphere.

Throw Back III

In our third installment is a lil vid of the infamous Ram and B-Trick as they hip-hop/shred through an evenin at hilltop. For best results mix together the following ingedients: Moon, Stars, Afterbang, Spittin Rymes, Hip Hop Shit, Beat boxin', Beepin', Feelings, Dreams, Speed Record, Complex Algorithems, Olive Oil, Hit the Gym. Remember watching longer vids like this one takes patience. Let it load then serve over snow and Enjoy!!!

RIP Swayze

The world just got a little less rad.

Too eager to shred

Last weekend I was hanging out at Hozer headquarters scoping some footy. We looked over some footy from the space party (mini vid up soon) and checked the stuff that Brendan and Ian got on their adventure out of whittier that same weekend. All of it looked really awesome, and I was really jealous of the shred mission. Brendan and Ian didnt make it to snow, but they definitely got down on some boarding.

On sunday, me and B$ set out on a mini adventure of trying to find that elusive alaskan snow in the middle of september. In previous years we have had good luck shredding up at the lane glacier at hatchers pass, but we had only been their mid october when there was about a foot and a half of new snow on the glacier. We had heard that you can snowslide their year round, so with no questions asked, we went for it. 

On the hike up we played with many of these little guys. 

At this point we were about an hour and a half in on the hike and we were so stoked (also soaked). I was certain that their would be all kinds of sweet rock gaps and taps, and perfect corn snow for rippin turns. High, high hopes me and B$ had. I couldn't even handle myself. I had to take a time out and pick some tail and grab some nose... do a few tailblocks. 
Took a few minutes to scope the lane hut and look for any left over goodies. Nothing but the usually assortment of smoking devices, mouse traps, american flags and epic tales (their was some story about a girl that fell in love with three guys at the hut but realized they were too smelly for her, seriously).
So we finally reached the glacier after about two and a half hours of hiking, only to find out that glaciers are actually made of ice. It was quite a surprise. I do believe I knew this before taking on the adventure but when someone said it was a go, i just went with it. I guess im just a little too excited for snowboarding.

B$ and the walk of shame (silty, shaley, icy glacier in the upper left)

So we got in the car, and drove home. I tried to take "artsy" shots the whole way home while listening to Bon Jovi. Jovi's such an inspiration.

Suicidal Cars

B$, Hoze and I (ramtime) ventured down to the car graveyard down by the motorcross track on monday for some filmmaking, shutter snapping, deep pondering, adventuring, and other awesomeness. If you don't know about this zone, its about a 300ft high bluff on the edge of a motorcross track, where motorheads get all kinds of hammered and send broken cars over the edge for their last ride until reaching the bottom and instantly dying. 

B$, on said bluff of doom

strategic sticker placement for maximum exposure

This is about as much glass as can be found on any window. Every last little bit has been smashed  and broken off every car.

After informing my dad of our adventure down to the graveyard, he told me the story of when he and friends hurled a vw over the edge.  The story involved being pulled in the vw behind a truck and smashing into objects at high speeds. When their was no more destruction to be had, they put the vw out of its misery. This makes me wonder about the stories behind all the other cars down their, especially the brand new dodge caliber that looks pretty new to its surroundings.

 Maybe this is that vw 

Hoze spent most of the time behind the beautiful lens of his panasonic 394iue94urjdfk getting epic landscape shots. He put his camera on autopilot and took a few minutes to practice his balancing techniques and reform his style for rail rippin before the season gets started.

B$ used her superior carving skills to rep us

Also this weekend, ian had an epic space party( im not sure if i took any pics or not, films waiting for me at freddys), brendan and ian had an exciting misadventure and B$/ram/hoze did some filmmaking. Videos to come, maybe. 

Leaves are falling

My buddy Tyler sent me this link. The Subject in his email with the link was "Fall is sooo the new winter". I wish we had enough leaves around to do this. I guess we'll just have to go on a weekend mission out to a glacier or something....
