Adventures in Transition II: Episode I

Words:

Much like everywhere else at the moment winter has yet to hit Colorado with its full fury. Fortunately for those of us in Colorado our resorts have the snow making capabilities and the sheer drive to build colossal park set ups. Without a doubt we are in the best place you could be for the start of the season. Even with a lack of white stuff we have been dedicated to getting shots and showing that it doesn’t take a whole lot to enjoy yourself. Between Breckenridge and Keystone we filmed this early season video of nothing absolutely breathtaking but mainly keeping our eye on the fun you can have in any aspect of winter. Even when conditions could be much more favorable.

At minute 2:42 when I come in contact with the little kid, I want to assure everyone that he was not injured. He actually got up way quicker then I did and his parents made sure that I was alright. Thankfully everyone walked away in one piece!

.chasing thunder.-.scott pommier.

. here’s a awesome site i found by a guy named Scott Pommier whos currently working on a photo book called Chasing Thunder. with a bit of research i’ve found out scott lives in Vancouver and is a senior photo editor at SBC skateboarder. this man is magic behind a camera and is fantastic at capturing the rustic and almost grungy mood behind every shot. http://www.scottpommier.com/

.stop longboarding for the grace of god.

. i don’t think i have ever publicly voiced my opinion on longboarding before so i’m going to go ahead and do that now. IF YOU LONGBOARD PLEASE QUIT IMMEDIATELY AND PICK UP A REAL SKATEBOARD.  i don’t care if its your only form of transportation around campus, its more respectable to just walk. the only way that its almost alright is if your over 45 years old and or  a dad (although still highly frowned upon). This is all you need to know. don’t bother emailing telling me im asshole, spend that time learning how to ride a normal skateboard.

.here is a tremendous video of the absolute best of the best longboard scorpions and just classic faceplants.

love you all though…

Adventures in transition VII part II

. well I’m a bit short on words right now. we just dropped the first revamped version of Adventures in Transition and the feedback has been insanely positive. things have changed a lot and to put it as simply as possible, it looks like a new web series. the production quality has been up’d ten fold now that star filmer/editor Jake Strassman took the reins. all i have to say at this point is thanks everyone for the views and the likes and i hope to keep you entertained for years to come! here she is!
