Mount Seymour once more.

Nick Brown, Jake Koia and I headed up to Mount Seymour yesterday to film another video blog. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't the best (did you see Wayne Gretzky on the back of that ute carrying the torch?) so we rode a few laps and got these iphone photos.

Canadian Open is over. Kendall Brown deserves mad props for her effort in WINNING the halfpipe. Myself, Nick Brown, Stef Zeestraten and Jake Koia had a whole heap of fun during the competition and all rode well during practice. I had one of my best runs in the Semi-finals but ended up with 22nd not quite making the 16 man final.

In Vancouver now after an amazing drive from Calgary. Canada is a beautiful place.

Browner and I have been to Mount Seymour a couple of times and here is a little video blog to show what we got up to. Enjoy.

I asked Justin Schulte a barrage of questions - this was one of his answers.

Sundays In The Park and World Cup.

Team New Zealand in Chinatown

I went to Bear Mountain a few weeks ago with my friend Starr. I went filming for Sundays in the Park but only got 2 runs with the filmer. The video went on Twsnow.com today with a a couple of shots in there.

Myself, Nick Brown and Stef Zeestraaten have been in Calgary for quite a few days now for the first World Cup Slopestyle. It was a super fun course and we ended up getting 3rd (Browner), 4th (Stef) and 5th (me). The Canadian Open is at the same place this next week so looking forward to that as well!

What is it like filming a skate video part?

Justin Eldridge is an amazing skateboarder. He has put a few parts together and knows the filming regime. Here Justin answers a few questions that I asked him while in Los Angeles. I have a few more of these things to post from various humans but have a ponder on the following.

Blog 100 - Bear Mountain.

I was staying with my friend Starr in Los Angeles and we went up to Bear Mountain on Saturday. They have TONS of boxes and a couple of jumps. I intended on filming with Sundays in the Park for Transworld but the filmer was super busy and we only got 2 or 3 runs together. Should have a couple of mellow things in there though I think. Fun day all up!

China and right before China.

Woke up to the newspaper in China - and I was in it.

China was the most amazing competition any snowboarder could ask for. Met some really rad people and had a blast with every need taken care of. I got about 2 hours of footage - none of which is snowboarding. There were so many rad things we got to experience that you just couldn't get to do usually.

The week in China absolutely smashed the back out of any other competition I have ever been to.

The Film Game.

Slow Internet, Goblin.

Lately a bit of filming at the skatepark has been going down but slow internet has made uploading the edits about as much fun as sitting through the new Twilight movie. In the meantime here is something to view.

Labour Weekend at The Mount was bonza. Sun every day and good times. Some evidence below.

Thunder and lightning - like most of the photos at the World Press Exhibition was very, very frightening.

I saw this picture and naturally thought whoa. Dad assured me this guy is making a ton of money doing movitational seminars. Loving life here.

Earthquake.

Went into Alta Newmarket and spotted this poster.

Bow and arrow vigilantes.

Naked barb wire gauntlet.
