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!

We had the snowmobile shuttling us and we got to wear a sweet helmet

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!

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.
