Why doesnt every city have SoHo

Forever altered

Hockey is king

in Canada.Its common to see all foot traffic stopped if team Canada is playing on any TV nearby. This night the intersection was actually blocked due to so many hockey fans blocking the street. Even the petty cab drivers took a sec to watch the game.

The Games were a blast

Sani, Mu, and Fischi were cutting through town on their way back from the interior BC and decided to stop off for the pipe finals. Luckily they sold beer because those guys sat in the stands for about 10 hours before the day was over. Awesome crew for sure!!

While everyone else was at practice

We took the sea kayaks for a spin. Not a bad way to get your mind off the biggest contest in 4 years. Vancouver is so beautiful.

Riding in the rain

A couple days before the big event we went up to Grouse and took some nighttime rain laps. I hadn't ridden at night in years. It brought back alot of fun old days sessions. DC has way more snow than Grouse.

Late Night Flights

We had a late night flight to Chicago. Shaun just got the medal. What a week!!!

You guys wanna go to dinner?

The other night Jussi, Shaun and I were on our way to dinner and we ran into Heikki and Eero. They joined us. The amount of rotations those guys have done in their life equal about infinity. While the Finns spoke Finnish, Shaun and I usually just looked at each other.

Budman

This is Bud. He's on of the most interesting and awesome dudes I know. Were staying at the same house here in Vancouver. I wanted to test the lighting on a photo idea I had and Bud happened to be sitting the same place. What a handsome SOB.

Act Crazy!

The other night at the Park City pipe event we realized we had many people from Burton marketing in attendance, and Bud. Why not take a photo....Such a good crew!Moran, Horning,Leyland (snacker), Dalton, Karen, Blotto,Chaka,Susie,Me, Bud.

Whoa Sexton

A couple years ago my brother and I got permission to shoot on this behemoth of a rail im sure you have all seen at the Delta Center in SLC....After a few moves went down on this baby Joe decided he was gonna front board it. After many many tries he cleaned her and almost hit the tree at the bottom. You prolly saw the shot in Down With People. Needless to say, this is most like the heaviest FS board to date.

Later night that night Bryan Fox and Austin Smith handled the rail right next to it. Getting permission leads to good things.This photo ran in TWS or Snowboarder. I cant remember which. Joe's a beast. Photo Justin LHeureux

Skate session?

Here is a photo I just saw from this Swedish photo website that did a post on all the snow in DC. In the foreground is Freedom Plaza. The main skatespot in the city. WTFFFF

Intermission

The days of watching snowboard contests while freezing are over. I'll settle for chandeliers and toasty toes any day, HAHA...between the mens and womens final I got to check out a little suite a friend of mine had. Thanks Devin

Man, Im High

23 ft backside airs are becoming a regular thing. Me getting this shot in focus at 2.8 without a tripod, while shooting 1/50 of a sec isnt.

Anyway. You get the idea. Shaun was going massive

Your driving from Colorado to Baker in this?

Lifes not bad

For some reason I thought this was funny

Jesse's been killing it lately on the clothes

Dressed to Impress

The other night while still in Mammoth, NBC sent Monday Night Football's Chris Collingsworth out to interview Shaun. We met up with Chris at the Red Bull house. He was a super cool guy and I got to talk football with him for a bit. Jesse wore his fancy new Sean John shirt to the interview.

Mono Lake

I know all you guys have probably driven buy this thing a million times. I however havent. So when I drove by it i was pretty blown away. For those of you that havent. Mono Lake is about 30 miles North of Mammoth Ca, near Yosemite National Park. The lake is at the far western edge of the Great Basin and it is a salt water lake. Alot like the Great Salt Lake which happens to be a the east side of the Great Basin. Geography lesson over.

One of the best

This is by far one of my favorite board graphics of all time. I should have traded this guy something for his board.

Men at Work

Last season Andy started busting out construction vests during urban shoots...quickly we learned how good this worked and got vests of our own. On this particular day we actually had some construction to do for this spot, thus the drill. Andy, you still owe me one.Marben, Me, Pierre, Andy, Robbie Walker....good day

Its Bright Out Here

Charles and I were trying to have a nice conversation the other day but it was so bright it looks like we are just standing here saluting each other.Thanks to Matt Couture for the photo.

Mammoth

Just got to Mammoth. Im getting a little sick of posting snowboard photos on my blog....I need to take a picture of a barn or somethingThis awesome cloud formed over the in-run to the pipe.
Mason
Sean and Aaron and Jimmy Fay have been working on Shaun Red Bull Project X show. Its been great to hang with these guys.Mammoth is beautiful....We are so close to Yosemite and I've never been. I really need to plan a camping trip.

1 Down 4 to Go

The 1st Grand Prix is over. Good contestVictory Laps are nice to have.

Danny rode well all weekWinning never gets old

Day 1

The 1st step towards the Olympics started today. The riding was retarded. It really awesome to watch something progress this quickly.After 85 riders Vito stepped up and threw down an amazing run. Seriously, so heavy.
Shaun goes next.
Starts with a 15ft fs air and proceeds to back it up all the way down the pipe.Pretty nice score. 9.9's all the way across

So many guys rode amazing. I wish i had more photos. Danny, Jack, Bretz, Cravan, and Charles to name a few. Tomorrow is gonna be even more amazing.

GroundHog Day

Congrads GRILO

Grilo wasn't even in the Air and Style today, he was an alternate, somehow got in at the last second due to an injury. And he WON. Biggest jump contest in snowboarding. I wish I was in Innsbruck to celebrate with the Boy Band. Bigs Ups Grilli!I took this photo off Fischi's facebook, thanks Fischi
