Rainy Daze...

2009-01-23T13:24:00.000-08:00

were bored in the rain so we just started crusin resorts for rainy rails.
Well years ago we used to hit a sweet little rail right where Miller stands.???

Damit. Now there is a building right there in the way. Miller showing them how he feels.

Jonny Malanga came to town however there is rain... he is always in high spirits. Here he is jibbing some roadside attraction we found. it was kinda set up as a wally type thing at first. switched that shit up a little and went to town. this shot I balanced the blog cam right on my big cam and it came out pretty cool if I may say so.

Back in Montana

2009-01-21T17:34:00.000-08:00

While most of the US is in the midst of a mid-winter Spring, some small pockets of mountains have held on to a bit of fresh snow. After the recent warm up, I booked it to the nearest, almost promising place, Southern Montana.

There, I met up with photographer Jeff Hawe (www.jeffhawephoto.com) and we had a really fun, productive week in the powder. Here are few photos Jeff took from our trip to Lost Trail Powder Mountain, MT/ID where we met up with the coolest dude ever, Liam Gallagher who was there doing a story about the ski hill for Transworld.

Junk yard day 2. plus more?

2009-01-20T23:00:00.000-08:00

Well I forgot the blog cam today and well... things didn't go our way anyway. We have been waiting out for days to do this new rail we found and today was just the same another car parked at the bottom. Dammit, we were all up early so we (J.Rob, Jonny Malanga, and Miller) decided to cruse up to Boreal for a much needed fun day. Well... we shot all day, but those doods that run Boreal are awesome and got us some tickets so we never mind busting out the cameras for some hot laps. they were good laps today too. sorry I forgot the blog cam so here are some photos from a few days ago.

J.Rob fucked this pole jam up! All sorts of fun moves. Here is a good old method off. Just to make sure you know he's is from the Northwest!

Kyle Miller got bored and started adding more jams. This one turned out pretty sweet. All in all we shot here 2 full days and there were plenty of other features than we got photos of, I think we walked away with some real artsy shit. Some great intros for the movie.

Jason BSRODEO off a tree basher? I think JP would be proud. There were some other good photos too but I downloaded them on to another computer and I guess I don't have them. Nicki Weiss was there killing it and so were good friends Scotty Amoroso and Ethan Guggenheimer plus Jason's youngest brother Sean Robinson. Hope all is well. We got a good week planed so keep checking back.

Miller. Jnorm. Handrails. Whiskey.

2009-01-18T20:58:00.001-08:00

Kyle Miller and Justin Norman hit one of Tahoe's more famous handrails the other night. Both bagged a few shots for the books after a few scares setting up. Midway setting up security rolls on us so we play the ol' run and hide routine and to our surprise it worked. Security turned around and we kept on going on. Then again mid session, different security guards rolled up on us. Miller and Leroy went down to sweet talk them into a few more hits. By our surprise they were all down for the cause, so they let us keep going. Soon after we found out that the security guy was from Miller's home town in Montana. Small world. F'in Montanans.

This is a handrail.

Leroy puttin in work.

Set up. GTS. Destroy.

Miller and Jnorm celebrating with 7&7.

I Trust Mervin Manufacturing

2009-01-18T19:49:00.000-08:00

We made a trip up to Sequim, WA to check out the Mervin factory in all it's splendor. It is so dope, we got walked through the production of a board, by Pos, starting at a stack of 2x4s and ending with the worlds best snowboards. Everyone there was super friendly and inviting, VP of Marketing and Co-founder, Pete Saari, even went as far as sliding across the icy parking lot in his van, ramming into the back of a fellow Mervinite's Honda Pilot just to entertain us. I trust Mervin Manufacturing!

Ready to Roll!

Mo is Stoked!

Mervin recycles more than any other snowboard company. They've even got a biodiesel pump right there at the factory.

J.Norm and J.Rob hit the streets of Tahoe

2009-01-17T18:46:00.000-08:00

Today we had a dope little session on a pretty well known little rail on Lake Tahoe. Everyone walked away with some quality shots. Homie Cameron lost his keys in a mini crevasse during the setup, luckily my little bro cam through with the save, making the crucial find. All in all another good day in Tahoe. Still waiting for some fresh snow though.

2009-01-17T12:10:00.003-08:00

Yesterday, Jon Malanga landed himself a full thumbnail spread on the MT Bachelor website. Big props to finally nailing the photo on the day Jon. The photographer is unknown, but wow, whoever it is, then sure know how to capture a moment in time. I sure know what Jonny's new Facebook photo is gonna be!!!! Great coverage Jon, great job. Maybe we'll get a sunset shot on that wall soon Jon and try to blow this photo out of the water. Highly unlikely though.

Shredding Pow at the BIG

2009-01-16T12:23:00.000-08:00

I was back home in Whitefish Montana for the holidays shredding the Big Mountain with my friends and fam. The snow was amazing, I have so much fun every time I go back home to Montana. It's Great! Here's a little Point Of View edit documenting the fun had thanks to HelmetCamCentral.com Enjoy!

Boreal night.

Another good night at Boreal.

Tahoe Junkyard Jam

2009-01-12T22:33:00.000-08:00

Some of the NC homies hit up Tahoe's Junkyard aka Jibyard. This place is super dope, within this little zone there are dozens of features to jib. We went crazy today, setting up six different things to play on. This place is far from played out. We had so much fun we're going back tomorrow.

A sneaky little homemade to 180 out

My littlest bro came out and got the shot on this dope feature we sessioned.

Chuck Norris backwards spells Sirron Kcuhc. Kyle Miller backwards is Rellim Elyk. Miller switch Chuck.

sunny dayz

2009-01-12T00:37:00.000-08:00

Well it has been in the 50's every day here in Tahoe. Pretty fucked up! any way our crew will be haeding out soon but right now were just tryin to make the best of a sunny situation.
I went back to this little DFD with JRob and Miller. Jason is stoked, he got a nasty move first try. JRob now reps for 32 Boots and Outerwear.

Miller just swiveling his way to a good start for the year. his first shoot outa the way. 1 shot down.
Then Jason took a good spill. It would have ended most peoples week but he just decided we should chill for the rest of the day. ( chill means go to the hill make a bunch of hot laps through Boreal's park) Video coming soon.
JRob and Nicki Weiss. a long night and with 5 jumps in a row these kids got in some good warm ups.

Up in the Hood

2009-01-10T19:15:00.000-08:00

First jump trip for all of us. January 8th... eh. Guess we've been shredding wayyy too much pow. Greedy fuckers we are.

We were supposed to leave early and meet Jon at Hood, but ran into some issues. No caption necessary.

Jon was pissed.

3 hours later...

3 broken shovels later... all good and done.

My beanie turned into an ice helmet.

Sam's beautiful lox were frozen solid.

Next morning...It's always nice to get up early enough to see stuff like this.

Another little tahoe rail sesh!

2009-01-05T18:10:00.000-08:00

It's cool being back out shooting with Lucas Wilson again. This was our first session of the year together, even though he had a couple shoots with Sam already.
I didn't even know lucas could do a 5050 he always said he couldn't do them, so I just had never seen one???. but aparently like other tricks it's pretty easy for him.
But it's never enough. the trick was 5050 as fast as you can then Launch 360, like a hero all out to the flats. Stomp that shit like it wasn't your first time then go home and call it another good session.
The light wasn't the best, but Luko would rather hit a rail than sit on his ass and say it's no good out. word up! many more sessions to come.

New Year's Eve Rail Jam - WHITEFISH MONTANA

2009-01-02T08:28:00.000-08:00

The Montana homies put it down! I was impressed, I barely walked away with the victory on this one. But still laid it down, on my home mountain, putting $200 in this years travel fund. 2009 is going to be the dopest year yet, I can feel it.

2008-12-29T21:18:00.000-08:00

Strait Badasses!
This week Rome riders Nicki Weiss and Johnny Lazz sraight got nasty. Watch out for these two this year! fuk yeah! Bloodied but not beaten!
Johnny ready to drop and His homie Kyle Earl Came out and landed damn fine tricks too.
Asa needs new jib boards and now he can just go to the factory. Smokin Snowboards now rep's Asa Martinez since Sapient is now going under. Smokin makes a damn good board I heard.
Truly Hand made near Tahoe. but handmade none the less. seeing that shit makes me want to ride handmade boards forever. it is truly an awesome site to see a snowboard made.
Nicki and Friends, Ethan and Sam after a long hike. but a good reward too! someone has photos i'll find'em.

Jonny Lazz, Middle finger in tha air, screamin FUK tha Police.

2008-12-26T21:18:00.000-08:00

Jonny Lazz Welcome to NCp. This is how his first filming trip of the season went.

We had the intention of hitting a sweet double set that we knew about. It was really the only thing on our list of todo's for the day, but our plans were soon foiled.
oh yes, rails can be touchy situation. but mostly the bust was pretty chill except we were all ready to go. cameras set up and all.
top angle to the double line. the second one is a nasty DFD that a few big dogs have hit before.
so were of to a new spot.
SNAP! Busted.
Holy shit we actually had a few shots at the Lawler ledge smack in the middle of the day. this one's tricky, maybe another time. yes busted again.
one more shot and once again, just about shooting time and here comes the man. This one rode a high horse too. boi, you couldn't even talk to this dood. I wonder what some of these asshole's real lives must be like.
Fuck This. and Fuck That. all and all we were at 5 spots today and got nuthing. Every cop said it was cause Jumps are always left up and people never clean up after jibbing. Well god dammit this seems like an easy solution... Learn the rules leave the damn place cleaner than when you came or shit gets fucked up for everyone!!!! sorry guys i was just pissed.

Asa's Junkyard fun.

2008-12-26T21:09:00.000-08:00

Asa Is one crafty guy. Who knows whats goin on in that mind of his??? crazy little wall ride. It wasn't the best feature for video, but it sure made for some damn good photos. Creative angles by TP. obviously these arn't those photo's goof.
Yes Ashley got her first banger too! there were other features too, but the blog cammer died.

Supermodel status

2008-12-22T23:35:00.001-08:00

Jrob 1st published photo, definatly not the last.

2008-12-22T18:37:00.000-08:00

Well Jason finally got his first shot published in Snowboarder . I thought wall rides were out but we did one anyway and boom thats that shot that runs. Keep it up Jrob.

Oh yeah Jrob is on the right.

Another fun sesh!

2008-12-19T17:28:00.000-08:00

This one is really funny and a first for me. We knew of this smaller rail like 20 or 22 I dont know? I don't count stairs. anyway we showed up to late for good light the day before, because most our time was consumed gettin shots at another secret location that day. So we had already set it up but the sun went down. the problem with this one is The parking lot fills up with people from the resort all day so there is no good time to do it in the day. We broke down the jump and, Yup we Tried it. We coned off the rail just like a construction crew and came back first thing the next morning to find the entire lot full except our little rail. I couldn't belive it worked.

Somehow that looks official, and say's don't park here cause were comin to jib.

The 2 rails camo together but Asa Martinez could write a book on how to do presses. and it would be the one everyone would buy.

It's really hard to capture a hardway 270 with the blog cam but this is the best attempt. Hway by Jrob. This kid is puttin in work!
When your binding breaks for the second day in a row, it seems like a good time to go home for X-mas. Then start it all again.

Baggin' early season handrail shots in Eugene, Oregon

2008-12-19T01:45:00.000-08:00

Eugene, Oregon. This place is nuts when they get snow. No one knew what the hell was going on. Max speed reached by the average car in Eugene was 15mph. Figure living in Florida and then getting 4 inches of snow. Anyways, we spent 2 whole days driving around next to these space cadets. Good to be home.

First up was a quad kink that soon enough got turned into a triple because of drop-in/speed issues. Let's face it, that drop in was a piece...
Here's jNorm almost getting some.

Here he's got it. 50-50 to fakie.

jNorm reppin' the Amplid.

Jon boy got the front board he was looking for. First shot of the season son.

I have nothing clever to say a bout Jonny this time.

Sooooo f'ing sketchy. 41-stairs of heavy shit man.

Jon got the shot for sure, maybe came off a little early for the film but I got a shot that made my trip. Such an intense impact coming off this thing. Props to Jon boy for working at it so hard.

Gotta get a little artsy. Just sent in some medium format shots from this trip, I'll get those back and posted next week.

On a lighter note, here's Sam eating a monster Ray's bagel sandwich. Peace!

Nasty little DFD.

2008-12-18T22:10:00.001-08:00

A nasty little down flat down. right before destruction.
JRob just couldn't help himself, a couple little switch ups or combos whatever. he owned this thing and it is for sure checked off his list.
yup. Lroy is stoked with the shots!
Leave no trace! dammit. thats the rules. live by them.
Hopefully the blogs soon will be out there in the distance. 1 more storm and its on!

We showed up. Jrob was almost done prepping, and we set up our stuff....

10 minutes later JRob had his 1st shot of the season. bs 5050 gap 5-0 nasty! This rail looked gnarly to say the least, then the dang second rail is a good bit above the first one. Jason locked it a couple times and we were out like it was nothing. off to find the next spot.

Terren has got a good one in the bag. www.terrengomez.com check his stuff out, the dood is dope!

Northstar Opening Day

2008-12-06T20:09:00.000-08:00

Today employees at Northstar-at-Tahoe greased up the engines and kick started the lifts for an epic day of a Tahoe killing spree. Miller and Asa were the prime suspects for the opening day massacre and key witness Nic Alger was on scene for questioning.

Miller - Backside Boardslide.

Waiting in the season pass office.

Asa did this huge air then got his head stuck in a slow sign.

Miller- Hipper and an American slasher.

After snowboarding we stopped by McDonalds to get the Tahoe signature sandwich "The McGangBang". The McGangBang is McChicken put in the middle of a double cheese burger.

We ended the day with some PBR thumb gunning.
