DL Throwback 5

I ran into Victor a couple weekends ago and it made me remember an epic spring day of riding and Queing we had in the sun up at a secret spot on Turnagain pass. Victor killed it that day with his switch spinning prowess. The brainstorming for this coming season is full on... look forward to something new...

in between season

So long are the sunny days spent on the lake sipping on high life and ripping around on wake surfs, so long are the pleasant midnight bike rides, so long are the endless beach fires. We have now reached the in between season, but its not bringing us down one bit. We have taken advantage of this time to do a little dry land training. 

Ian strapped and ready for the heaviest line of the day

All the rage with these youngsters and snowboarding, is snow. Thats not really progressive enough for us vets. We have to bring it to a new level, this guy knows what im talking about(not really).

Filmhead Hoze was on site gathering some footy of this novelty act we put on

Synchronized tail block training

All grabs and tweaks were perfected

Action shot

Ian bagged the first method of the season

Someday we will post a video of this, until then, blah.

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.
