August 2, 2009 | Filed Under VIDEOS, WEEKLY VISUAL | Leave a Comment
Summer sure is cooking the heat these days. Here is a little cool off. POV on a powy December day last season. All this takes is a fast five minute hike off the lift at Brighton and you got yourself some goods! Nothing better than fast frontside turns and riding with out the Angry Midget on my back.
Thompson Pass Valdez Alaska 360 View
July 13, 2009 | Filed Under VIDEOS | Leave a Comment
Check out a shaky (no tripod) video I took from my trip to Alaska this past April. It gives a small glimpse of the 360 degree Mountain view right off the road before entering the heart of Thompson pass. Our heli staging zone was just below where this video was taken and at .13seconds of the video you can see the zone called “the books” where we rode.
I filmed a bunch more stuff from AK so stay tuned for a few more of these short videos coming soon!
All Roads Lead To: Valdez Alaska
June 8, 2009 | Filed Under NEWS, PHOTOS, TRIPS, VIDEOS | Leave a Comment
Going up to Alaska for 14 days this past April was definitely the highlight of my season. Valdez and Thompson pass has to be one of the most amazing places I have ever been. The things I learned and experiences I had blew away any thing else I have ever done in my 13 years of snowboarding. My only regrets being not snowboarding as much as I would have liked and not being able riding a true AK line for myself. But every one I shot sure got some and more. I was stoked to just watch, shoot and have the chance to be in this incredible place. Hopefully someday I will make it up there again!
We broke the trip in to two featured stories. Part One being all snowmobile accessed zones on Thompson Pass and Part Two being all zones accessed by a heli. Click below to check out my photo galleries and the very smooth edit by Mark Dangler from the SNOWREV AK trip.

This past summer I have really gotten into rocking climbing. It such a pure and powerful sport very similar to snowboarding. In both you use balance, strength and movement to stomp a seven in powder or send a hard route. I have shot and watched Lonnie Kauk climbing for a couple years now and its amazing to see him to climb the shit he does. It definitely runs in his blood since his dad Ron is a Yosemite legend. Ron has put up some of the hardest routes in Yosemite two of them being in the video below. Really great inspiration to watch.

Standard Film’s Aesthetica teaser
June 18, 2008 | Filed Under NEWS, VIDEOS | Leave a Comment
Standard just put a preview/teaser for their new movie “Aesthetica”. I always enjoy watching every movie standard makes from TB5 to Paradox. This year especially looking forward to the return of Johan and his noboarding, Ladvik’s shots will no doubt be killer and most of all I cant wait to see Lonnie’s part! Lonnie and is the man..nothing but love for him. Plus, gotta love the old Metallica, doesn’t get better than that! Nothing worse than an amazing snowboard part with some horrible music… Last year the techno/electro pussy music fad in most of the videos was horrible…. This teaser gives me some hope for this next batch of videos soundtracks..Everybody needs some more metal in their life!

Don’t work for Free
June 1, 2008 | Filed Under NEWS, VIDEOS | Leave a Comment
Lately certain companies and people feel its ok to take copyrighted and watermarked photos off the internet and use them for advertising and other things. This makes no sense to me how you can take someone photo off a website, open in photo shop, clone over the watermark and use it for your companies ad and think its completely ok. Not to mention when the photographer finds out, sends an invoice over and the company tries every way possible to get out of it paying it. First off its stealing second thats your work and you have to get paid for it.
This has happened to me 4-5 times in the past two months and its complete bullshit. I’m rather new to the whole business side of things and I know every photographer deals with this crap but I just don’t understand how people can steal your work or try and get it for free thinking its ok? Boggles my mind… This crap happens in every type of industry. Everybody wants something for nothing. Photogs fill out your copyright and metadata!
Below is a pretty good video of Harlan Ellison on the subject. Watch it.

EPICLY LATER’D | John Cardiel
April 3, 2008 | Filed Under VIDEOS | 5 Comments
wow one of the best video(s) I have seen in awhile. Cardiel is the man… If you enjoy anything about skateboarding watch these videos now! There are sixteen webisode style makeing up the documentary. I posted up 5 of them here go to VBS.TV to see the rest. Well worth your time.
“There isn’t much left to say about Cardiel that hasn’t already been said, but did I mention this is coming out as a free DVD in a few weeks? You can watch all 83 minutes in a row on your TV. I think when the DVDs come in, I’m gonna fed-ex some free copies to some pro skaters that I feel are doing it all wrong—you know, guys who sit around and complain about spots, paychecks, tours, filming ,or getting second in a contest—just so they can see how Cardiel approaches it all. I’m serious, John Cardiel is the world’s most perfect pro skater. So many things he’s said in these interviews have rattled around in my head for weeks, truly inspiring.” PATRICK O’DELL/ VBS.TV

Marley Mon!
April 1, 2008 | Filed Under VIDEOS | Leave a Comment
I really can’t get enough of this song and the whole uprising album after blasting this record at our rental cabin in the middle of the woods in Stratton for the US Open. ( I’ll post pictures of that later) This place was on point a whole library full of classic jams all on vinyl with a old record play hooked up to surround sound speakers. Zeppelin, Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Van Morrison, Beatles you name it the guy had it. By far Nothing sounded as good as Zion Train….. It was just right. My dad thinks I’m crazy because I enjoy even prefer the sound of vinyl but somethings just sound so much better like this song. Here’s a you tube clip of it live. Dis is da Jah rastafri jam mon!

Just got back to SLC from a jam packed week in Vermont. After a long layover plus three hour delay in JFK followed by a bumpy connecting flight we finally made it into Albany. Carter and I were picked up by Johnny in the SNOWREV rig but had to wait another hour for Lonnie Kauk to land.. we all piled in the car and headed out to Vermont rolling in to Stratton around 4 in morning. Four hours later we were up rolling to the Mountain for Slopestyle finals. Saturday marked Superpipe, Big Air and…….. I don’t feeling like writing anymore so check out the photos and reports below. ha

Bear Wide Open Video
March 27, 2008 | Filed Under NEWS, VIDEOS | 1 Comment
I made the trip down to Bear Mtn in Feburary for the Wide Open # 5. While my ankle was still sore from a hard slam I took in December (thanks to a buried rock in Mammoth) I decided to film for two days since there really wasn’t much to shot on. We all had a great time Kirk did like a million backies in a row, it was hot as hell and lots of jibbin was had. Mac Spedale spliced togeather all the footage into a nice little edit for the site. Check it below.
In other breaking news you can now embed any video off Snowboard-Revolution and post em up on your myspace, blogs, shlogs, phlogs, facebook or whatever you fancy is. Check it out dudes!
