Backcountry days

February 22, 2010

Mike Riddle and Matt Margetts rolled into Whistler after spending the last 2 months travelling the globe competing in halfpipe and slopestyle comps… Needless to say they were thirsty for some powder and it couldn’t have been better timing.

X Games / Colorado

February 8, 2010

This was my first time at X….. an Xtreme Games virgin if you will. I don’t think I realized how big-league this event really is until I experiencing it first hand. Giant crowds of 20,000 + people all watching the most talented and focussed athletes that skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling have to offer. It was [...]

Pedestrian Stunting 500

January 30, 2010

Last week we travelled to one of Canada’s hot spots for urban snow stunt acrobatics. Along for the ride was a team of young jibbers including Cam Schuster, Scott Sych, Ryan Hartlin, Uncle Schwank, Ontario locs Coal Drexler and Matt Brindisi, and filmers Chunk and myself.
As with most trips we ran into some challenges. The [...]

2010 so far

January 12, 2010

Winter’s in full swing here in the Great White North, and even though its currently pouring rain in most BC zones we’ve been blessed with an early start to the season and a substantial snowbase. We started shooting for our 2010 film by taking advantage of a brief period of snowfall that hit the lower [...]

Outdoor Graduation bail scenes

January 12, 2010

We put together a montage of less-than-par clips from 2009. Usually big fancy super-corporations like us would hide such footage as this, but the humor got the best of us.
So here it is… kersmashes, ball-boinkers, snaps, crackles and some pops from the film Outdoor Graduation:

This is the end, my friend.

December 17, 2009

As Jim Morrison once said “this is the end, my friend”. And although speaking on very different wavelengths, Jim describes our excitement for the completion of yet another premiere tour energized by Coors Light. Being able to claim “we survived” is a true feat.
Here are the 2009 tour highlights
Vernon: [...]

Worldwide broadcast of Outdoor Graduation

December 7, 2009

It’s that time of the year again… We begin to script our ideas for the upcoming winter while simultaneously celebrating the good times of seasons past. We finished up a ridiculous premiere tour with 20 stops in Canada and the US and it’s now time to sit back on our ergonomic office chairs and prepare [...]

Victoria

November 13, 2009

I’m sitting in our hotel room in Canmore, AB with Justin VDP trying to decide what to write about the Victoria premiere which took place last week.
“Well.. I wasn’t there, so I can’t help you with the write up”- VDP explains. A short pause follows….
“…. Ohhh wait, I WAS there…hahaha”
I’d say it was a successful [...]

Vernon/Kelowna

November 12, 2009

Tour continues. Things happen when you’re hurtling down a highway in a 28-foot house boat on wheels. Highlights include: hitchhiker, and waking up mid-bounce one and half feet above the bed you’re sleeping on.
Lucky for us Ryan, Rebekah, Ella and Hugo have, over the past few years, become somewhat of our family away from home [...]

Penticton

November 6, 2009

Max Hill has an uncanny ability incorporating women hygiene products in what I can only assume will be a daily occurrence of tour life: rap battles. Reed “The Speedman” Holmes being on the receiving end of Max’s “heavy flow” leveled the playing field with rhymes about directionless lifestyles and speedisms – Sentences formed so poorly [...]
