Just when you thought you’d seen everything, those crazy skiers have taken over the waves. It seems that regardless of what board sport it is, there is a ski equivalent. Skateboarding has rollerblading, snowboarding has skiing, wakeboarding has wakeskiing, but till now, the OG board sport, surfing, was assumed to be safe. Not the case anymore. The Solomon freeski team has figured out a way to ski waves. In my opinion, it looks pretty ghetto and I hope it goes nowhere, but I’m just biased. Let’s see you guys get a waved without a jet ski. Happy paddling!

Thrasher’s Hall of Meat: Jake Carmichael
Park ranger Chris Dedinsky sent me this gnarly video. If you think you’ve had some pretty hard bails on a snowboard, here’s an example of why skateboarding is, and will always be, more badass than anything on snow.

Vancouver 2010 Lifestyle Footage
Over the Olympic break, I have not only had the oppurtunity to film sports but some lifestyle footage from downtown. Below are a couple of the shots I have been working on, along side Andrew Lee. The plan is to create a film showing the spirit of Vancouver, especially within the 2010 Olympics as many of you have witnessed.

Girls, Girls, Girls!
Heyo!
Around 2 weeks ago, Mount Seymour held a girls contest, the “Rugged Riders Kinky Rail Jam”. These rugged girls tore up Seymour’s park like wolves on a freshly tackled lamb. The rugged riders have notoriously been spotted on mountains in the lower mainland as well as inland in the interior. At night time, they have been seen howling at the moon and killing stuff (mainly the terrain).
Luckily, Noah Spivak was there to capture the girls in one of their natural habitats.. here is the video. Enjoy!
This contest was just the beginning for these she wolves, and many more are coming up including the Roxy Chickadee Jam at Grouse on March 6th!

Grouse Park Olympic Edit
With the Olympics wrapping up and the gold medals building up, it is apparent we are well on our way to making Canadian history. For me the Olympics have been very busy thus the late release of this edit, which was filmed within the first week of the Olympics in the re – designed cut park. With a couple hours of filming with Shayan, Jason, Corey and Quentin, I was able to come out with this edit. Unlike many others, I tried to make this one different, in this case through the teddy bear crisis style rider/timelapse. If your not sure what I mean check it out for yourself.

Grouse: Cut Park Montage
The park is now running smoothly on Cut with some very fun features. Here’s a quick little edit thrown together by Shayan including some shots from Quik park when it was still in business. Enjoy.
