A Night with Sam and Tomas

This season, I am seeing a whole lot of new faces on the mountain. One of them being Kelsey Clarke. I met Kelsey earlier this season and have had the chance to ride with him a handful of times so far. This kid not only kills it on the hill but is also a very talented cinematographer and editor. He just recently finished making an edit featuring Tomas Smythe and Sam Fedak (who killed it at the Oakley Park Jam on the 15th and ended up claiming the top prize). Enjoy!

Foggy Daze

So basically the weather wasn’t ideal, but that didn’t stop us. We put on our game faces and managed to have one of the hardest seshes of the season, destroying every feature everywhere, all business

Snowboarding isn’t always just fun

Anyways, Enjoy

Tuesdays Dead!

PYP’s latest addition to their onslaught of killer videos is the “Tuesdays Dead” series. Filmed by veteran Grouse rider and photographer Scotty Titterington. They feature the riding of Liam Casey and friends holding it down all over Whistler/Blackcomb. Skiing’s not my sport of choice, but these edits kill it!

If you haven’t heard of PYP, you have some edits to catch up on, They’re the blow-up local production company mostly from Grouse, now running Whistler. Skiing snowboarding, they do it all. Check out their videos, Sorry For Partying and most recently Too Much Fun.

Get Stoked!

Sunny Sunday Edit

Grouse has been beyond amazing these past days. With the park being in great condition and the sun shining, I have been fortunate enough to get some riding in. Here’s an edit I made of a Sunday ride. Check it out!

Look out for more edits coming soon,

Corkin’ with Turpin

What up Grouse,

Anybody who’s looking to step up their jump game and learn some corks this year should check this out.

It’s a quick trick tip from Armada’s Chris Turpin, who I was lucky enough to join on the chair and get some help with my own tricks. His coaching method seems to help people progress very fast, and he is very knowledgeable. If you really like his coaching style and want to meet him yourself, he coaches every summer at Momentum and can always be seen around Whistler in the winter.

And I have just come from a day in the Whistler parks, and I am proud to say Grouse’s rail lines at least as good at Whistler’s, even better in some aspects. Props to the park crew.

Happy Holidays

Hey there, it’s Jeremy here checking in for my second year of blogging with the Quiksilver Park at Grouse. I am generally regarded as a filmer, always down to shoot as long as the weather is good. This year I’ll be wearing a red jacket above black plants, fairly baggy. Feel free to say hi. Throughout the holidays I have been taking advantage of the amazing weather we have been having for the past week. As of the holidays I have finally been able to get some time to ski and film enough for a decently sized edit. The edit includes, in order of appearance Frodo, Brian Choi, Joe Mickelson, Simon Stulberg and Ben Neil (props to the huge backflip over the hip). I hope you enjoy it. As well I have been working on a RC Heli + Go Pro cam setup. I took it up Grouse the other day, however crashed it early on causing gnarly vibrations throughout the rest of the day. I will be getting that dialed in throughout the week so check back later for updates.

Weekend Edit

It’s dumping snow here right now at Grouse and now that we are putting a mellow week behind us, it’s about time that we’ve got some snow. Despite all the rain and slush, I had time to get some weekend laps in with my buddies. I was stoked to get some footy with my new camera and make an edit.
Check it out!

Look out for more edits coming soon.
