Quiksilver Showdown Over The City – View from the Beer Garden.

This years Quiksilver Showdown Over the City was an amazing first taste of sunny spring. The new location for the course lead to a perfectly situated spectators area. Knowing that the photographers and videographers showdowns would provide extensive coverage of the event, I took it too the beer garden to see who was hangin’..

Mikey Rencz goes to Grouse!

Rencz likes to come down to Grouse once in a while to do a few laps.

Beauty day to be on the slopes. Boarding in May.

You wouldn’t normally see Mikey on the rails but this day he was feeling lips slides all over the place.

Pole Jam on route to ceasers and appies!

Happiest guy in Altitudes bistro… enjoying some bruschetta.

Oh ya… and the view was perfect like always!


Endeavor Night shoot at Grouse

Went up to Grouse in April to shoot some photos for the new Endeavor ad. It ended up being winter still but the jump worked out well. Fun hang!

Quiksilver Showdown Over the City

With the city in view, the Quiksilver Showdown ran full-blast last Sunday. All riders were throwing down and out of the many competitors, the results came down to Zach Stone landing the Best trick, Bobby Balharry placing third, Jeremy Cloutier placing 2nd and Eric Willet with the win.

With my t2i in hand and riders throwing down, I was stoked to get to film these guys.  Check out the edit!


Dirty Stache Sunshine Sesh

Grouse Team rider Tamo Campos and the brawgs have been shreddin Grouse religiously recently, it’s the spot to ride when they’re not traveling around in the party van!

If you haven’t noticed this beast of a van in the parking lot take a closer look next time, trust me you won’t miss it, its the ultimate road tripper. Even go check it out, it’ll be the one with all doors open pumping Marley and if you’re lucky you can hook up a Dirt special (Lucky Lager and some KD) for $4  and hang out with the bro’s.

Anyways, they put together a banger edit, and it’s good times.

Here’s the Rusty Van blog! This site is a packed with so much good stuff (my personal favorite is their latest Interior trip edit) so stay up on it!!! www.dirtystashes.com


My View

The park up at Grouse has been really fun recently. I have done a few laps with my GoPro camera and some of the freeze frames look pretty cool. Here are a few and more to come from the next time i’m up.

Voleurz’ Look on the Bright Side

Last season I spent most of my time filming with the craziness that is the Voleurz family.  I had an awesome time as well as met some amazing people, in the end we came up with this little video for people to enjoy.  Who says no to a free 40 minute movie?!?! If you skate, ski, board or just love crazy antics, then this film is for you…


Enjoy!

Barry Hartman Edit

A quick update on my season so far:

With January rolling in and Grouse hot laps getting better by the day as the crew added more features, my season was starting to shape up nicely. I was set to fly down to SIA in Denver than film throughout Colorado and Salt Lake for a couple weeks with the Voleurz crew. I also had an invite to the Snowdeo event happening mid-February with a $20G cash purse on the line.

This is all good, right? Not with a broken ankle. After canceling the first half of my season, I had my surgery performed on December 31st at 1:00 PM. I’ll keep you all posted throughout the season on updates of my friends and sponsors, but you probably won’t see much content until the end of March. Fortunately for us snowboarders, we have glaciers and airplanes that allow us to snowboard until late August.

In the meantime, here is an edit for you GrouseParkers to enjoy. Don’t forget to put it in 1080p for full HD.

Peace,
Barry
