The marketing department wanted me to promote Copper Mountain’s Spring Special. They told me it was a big deal, so I dug deep into my attractive mind cave and came up with something big. So, traveling people, check out “The Deal.” www.nationalsnowday.com/icemelts -Captain Fred McGilicutty

How consistent is consistent? How soon is now?
Tonight I'm so tired my eyes ache with the sense of falling out of my head. The only thing that really combats this is the touch of that cold winter air. When I feel it against my skin and see those crystal encased trees I can't help but forget human-bonds. Right now, sitting here eating I'm wondering how long I'll be awake, how much I'll get done tonight, and then tomorrow.
Philosophy 111, know your Plato. Most of us are chained to the ground, watching shadows dance upon the wall. Sometimes someone frees us, sometimes we are freed by ourselves. Who will rise from what little comfort they have? Who will rise with the fierce desire to know. Have I?
Those that rise see the fire casting shadows, the puppets being held up. We are all born in a cave. So you travel towards some distant light, knowledge is your guide.
Out of the cave you stumble, disoriented, frustrated, all-a-wonder. The glare of this new discovered realm blinds you, yet a reflection catches your eye. As this newly found sense envelopes you, you see yourself in a pond. Welcome to the real world.
True beauty is your guide now, each and everything from now on will be full of some inner light. For you've seen the source of all life. Your eyes became adjusted to the Sun long ago. Your heart became attuned to the truth of that life-giving orb. A sense of duty overtakes you, so you march back into the cave.

Holy crap.. Did you see that Party Snake teaser yet? If so there's really only been two responses. 1. You loved it and can't wait to see more or 2. You hated it and wish it would die. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground on this on. Check out some of the comments I found on the Gnarcore site.

I'm still waiting on a revised teaser before I post it directly in the furious blog but you can check the rough version out on the Gnarcore site or find it on FB. There's some pretty funny comments there too:

News and stuff: Rave Cave!
By: ISDesign


Rave Cave



So I've been catching a bunch of heat for not keeping up with the blog posts lately. I guess there's a bunch of time desperately needed to be wasted out there. I've also been informed that when I finally do decide to get off my sweet ass and post something the material I post is "absolute junk".. Yeah great friends.. I know..
They're right though.. things kind of fell off for a bit but don't worry, I'm working on a come back.



Anyway.... A bunch of our flow team was up to no good this weekend at Mount Seymour. They built this thing they call the "rave cave" and got piss drunk in it all day. I bounced before the cops showed up but here's some footage I was able to capture before I got the hell out of there. Keep in mind this is at about 3 in the afternoon.. Just of taste of how our flow team video project is coming along. Yep, get ready for another beauty..

Whistler recently hosted the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival from April 11th to the 20th. In what has become an annual event for me, I made my usual pilgrimage to Whistler to attend; an attempt to escape the concrete, mortar, metal, and glass wilderness for the snowy peaks of British Columbia.

Upon unloading at the bus loop in the main village, I came to the realisation that my accommodations were actually in the upper village. This meant that all my gear had to be hauled to the proper location. I guess the gods wanted to make sure that I was properly warmed up and exposed to the nature I was so fervently seeking, so I ended up rolling my wheelie locker through Fitzsimmons trail (a failure of my geographic knowledge of the village indeed) to the condo. When I finally got myself and my gear to Glacier Lodge, it was time to ring up the peeps in order to exchange greetings, hugs, hi-fives, and tall tales. I tracked them down at the Longhorn and joined them up for a little après (après bus trip for me, après snowboarding for them).

The amazing thing about the Telus World Ski and Snowboard festival is that, although it only happens once a year, there's a sense of familiarity when you run into friends you haven't seen since the last festival. It was as though last year's festival never ended and everyone just picked up where they left off (with the possible exception of the new faces which were promptly integrated into the group of dirtbags).

Saturday morning finally rolled around and it was time for the long awaited first runs up Blackcomb to hold congress with the mountain. In keeping with my usual modus operandi of deep metaphysical self-discovery on the chairlift (not self-exploration you perverts), I got to thinking about the struggle between the physical and the divine. I was cogitating on the true nature of the connection between the body, soul, and the mountain. The physical connection is obvious (this was on my mind due to a knee injury sustained the week prior in Banff), but the spiritual connection was a bit more difficult to pin down.

I went snowboarding everyday that I was in Whistler resulting in my body being in various states of "ache and pain" throughout, but I felt content. The crew I was riding with was also changing daily from groups as large as twelve to being by myself. The same sense of contentment, however, was always there regardless of how large or small the group was. This led me to remember a quote from a famous Jedi master in the movie "The Empire Strikes Back." When Luke asks Yoda what might be found in the cave, Yoda's answer was "only what you take with you." This is significant in many ways and is especially evident on those solo freshie manoeuvres that I often partake in. It led me to realize that whenever I'm snowboarding, all my loved ones are there with me in their purest essence (without any noise caused by things so caustic as cliques or inter-personal drama). This I believe is where the spiritual comes in. Although Whistler/Blackcomb, the resort, is itself a morass of steel, concrete, cables and glass, when the p-tex hits the snow, none of that really matters, all that's there is what you brought with you. Although the sensations are dramatically physical, the exileration is just as dramatically spiritual and this is what drives me, and I'm sure many others, to pursue this congress with the mountain.

Between the crazy parties, the jokes about shi*t-tickets (toilet paper), the drinking, and the general shenanigans, the occasional runs on mahogany ridge, the important part of Telus seems to have been coming together with people we care about in the nature we all love. To borrow a phrase from a loved one, I left Whistler with my body having that used and abused feeling, however, I also left Whistler feeling enriched from revisiting old friendships and making new ones. With that, I can honestly say that I can't wait until next year's festival. I hope to see you all there. Until then...

Keep Shreddin' the GNAR!

Chaque ete, je vais au Chili avec Victoria Jealouse et Natasza Zureck pour le photoshoot Burton. Ce qui me rejouis le plus c’est qu’on rejoint les 2Tiempos, un crew de riders qui ont ramenes des sleds au chili. Du coup ils nous emmenent sur les spots incroyables et inaccessibles des Andes..  Cette annee on va a Lonquimay, une parcelle abandonee du pays.. C’est au bout le plus sud de la route.. après elle s’arrete et il faut retraverser et longer du cote argentin avant de finallement retrouver le chili sur la pointe du continent sud-americain..

Le camion des 2Tiempos vient nous chercher a l’aeroport, un enorme camion amenage maison avec 2 sleds suspendues au dessus de 3 autres autres submergees par nos boardbags.. La route est longue et on s’arrete a Chipilemu, un spot de surf ou les vagues sont monstrueuses ce jour la.. E N O R M E S !! Des Tubes de 12 metres off shore!!

On n’arrive a Lonquimay que le lendemain soir.. il fait trop chaud et la neige fond a grosses goutes! On part explorer les environs avec les sleds mais la neige est vraiment mauvaise! Impossible d’imaginer faire quoi que ce soit  sur cette colle! Deception.. Apres deux jours de photoshoot en studio pour le catalogue et puisqu’il pleut encore, on decide d’aller voir le marche local.. J’adore les missions culturelles et shopping avec Victoria! Qu’est ce qu’on rigole! (et qu’est-ce qu’on achete!) je me suis ruee sur les cagoules en laine tricotees mains pour les jours de sleds et plus encore sur les boucles d’oreilles.. et j’etais pas la seule!

La pluie ne nous lache pas! Heureusement que Victoria a la langue facile! Elle nous raconte des histories acadabrantes avec le son ssurrounded et les grimaces! Le soleil pointe son nez pour le dernier jour de ride.. Tous curieux et excites de pouvoir enfin trouver des spots, on s’est d’abbord enlises dans la boue! Mais les mecs etaient persuades de pouvoir nous en sortir et nous pousser jusqu en haut de la cote.. bien evidemment ca n’a pas marche et ca leur a mis une heur avant de s’avouer vaincus! Du coup on a pris les sleds en traversant la route tous les 50 metres pour trouver un passage entre les buissons, les clotures, la riviere et la boue.. tu parles d’un parcour d’obstacle! Toute la neige avait fondue et il a vraiment fallu forcer le passage!
 
C’est donc 3 heures plus tard qu’on atteint le sommet de la premiere crete.. qui donne sur une gigantesque riviere de lave qui date d’une explosion de 1988.. M A L A D E !
On etait juste a cote du volcan, du coup j’ai decide de grimper jusqu au sommet du crater..
La pente etait faite de gravillons volcaniques chauds qui s’ecroulait sous mes pas, je me demandais a quell moment j’allais etre emportee par un jet de lave..
La chaleur avait creuse des caves dans les metres de neiges encore la, et de la vapeur s’en echapait de temps a autre..  J’etais vraiment contente d’y etre montee!
La premiere et certainement aussi la derniere foi que j’etais au somment d’un volcan actif! Et puis j’ai pris ma GTwin et je suis descendue en ridant..

TROP BIEN! Voila pour cette annee en amerique du sud en esperant que la neige sera meilleur l’annee prochaine!

Back in Chile for the Burton’s summer photoshoot

Victoria Jealouse, Natasza Zureck and I  are going to Lonquimay which is about 10 hours drive from Santiago.. I love to come down here for the Burton summer photoshoot cause we team up with 2Tiempos, a sled company pull together by Christian Vahrhan.. this guys guys are dope! Los Andes are huge  and deep mountains with Volcanos and the sleds make them easily accessible.. they  avoid extra hiking too.. J

The Orange Truck came to pick us up at Santiago’s airport for a long drive.. we decided to stop at the ocean in Pichilemu on the way after we heard that the waves were huge that day! And they were! Man I had never seen such big waves and by the time we got there, they were much smaller they said! The morning of the same day some Chilean surfers had droped into 12 meters high waves.. one of the surfers even just paddled into it! C R A Z Y !
Last year one of them had won the Billabong XL Award on one of these waves..
I m glad we got to see that! Cause traveling like mad I often don’t get the opportunity to see anything else then mountains..

We got here in Lonquimay which is a very remote place, in poor snow conditions.. the worse snow conditions I had ever seen actually! After a day of scoping and a day of studio shoot we went to the Market waiting for the rain to stop.. that was cool! I got cool bellaclavas for the cold times.. like sledding days or bike missions or anything like that..
Victoria and I were on a mission.. we love south American markets and any cultural shopping days! And we got tons of really cool sick dope earings!

Victoria always has crazy stories to tell.. and this time she came prepared with tons of dvds and printed sheets etc.. she is rad! Finally the weather cleared up for the last day.. all excited and curious on what we would find we first got stuck about in the mud.. but the guys thought they had big muscles and could push us through that crazy f*cked up dirt road..
Only an hour later they admitted we wouldn’t make it.. so we got on the sleds.. crossing the road bank from one side to the other.. trying to find a way through the bush the river the houses and the dirt.. most of the snow had melted and the way was hard to find..

We finally made it to the top of the mountain from where we could see a huge lava river from a volcano that exploded in 88 I think..  C R A Z Y !
we were right next to the crater that exploded.. so I decided to hike and to check what was in there.. it took me quite wild to get to the top.. all rocks were falling under my feet and the heat coming out of the ground didn’t make me feel any more comfortable.. scared that I was gonna blow up the next second.. the crater was cool! The were caves sucked in the snow to deeper level of the earth.. with smoke coming out from time to time..
I felt blessed being up there! First and probably last time I was gonna be on top of a volcano! Then I straped in my Gtwin and rode the dirty black sticky snow down the volcano..
S T O K E D !

That’s it for 2007 Chile. Hopefully we ll get better conditions next year!

青空 Blue sky.

Hi, it’s Taro.Today we were able to shoot under blue sky.The members were Aki, Jun, Kosuke and me.We made a kicker in the morning.

フィルマーのタローです。今日は久しぶりに青空で撮影が出来ました。メンバーは、ライダーのアキ、ジュン、コースケに +オレの4人。朝一からキッカー作りました。




ジュンが撮ったコースケのメソットエアーのシークエンス

Jun shot Kosuke’s method air sequence!


各ライダーとも苦戦してたんですが、アキがビタメイクで高回転を決めたのは凄くカッコ良かったです。明日も天気は良いはずなんで、撮影がんばりまーす。

All the riders were having a hard time but Aki made a high spin and nice landing. He was so good.Tomorrow will also be sunny, so we’ll go shooting as well!Maybe it’s a glacier?.

多分氷河です。

ハートハウスにて

At the heart house.

ヒロミです!!!!ハートハウスでは、毎日いろんな出来事がおきます!!最近部屋の中にアリが大量発生してるんですけど、こーちゃんとしょうたがとうとうアリをつかまえて、ペットにし始めました!!!二人ともお互い自分のアリ(けっこうすごい数がいます)をみせあったりして、とても気持ち悪いです。もちろんエサもあたえてます。そんなある日、しょうたのアリが脱走しました!!!お酒の瓶で飼ってたやつで、しょうたがふたをしなかったために、朝には1匹残らず、いなくなってました。飼い主に似たみたいです。そんなヤンキーヘアーのしょうたが、イメチェンをしました!!!!!テーマは・・・“ヘルメット”  !!!!!たろーさんがネットでヘルメットを検索。その画像をみながら、ジュン君がしょうたの髪をきり、残りのみんなが見守る。

It’s Hiromi!!!!

At the heart house, there are many fun incidents happenning everyday.

Recently, many ants have been seen in the house, and finally, Kosuke and Shota decided to catch them and keep them as their pets!!!

They of cause feed them and show their ants to each other (thousands of ants), and it is so gross.One day, Shota’s ants escaped!!! 

By morning, all of Shota’s ants were gone from the liquor bottle because he didn’t close the lid.The escaped ants were a lot like their owner.


すばらしいチームプレーで、すばらしいヘアーが誕生しました!!!きっと今のしょうたのヘアーなら、ブラッコムのブラックパーク(ヘルメットをしないと入れないパーク)も余裕で入れてしまうだろう!!!!!

Finally, Shota changed his hair!!!The theme of his his hair style is “Helmet”!!!Taro searched “Helmet” on the internet and he cut Shota’s hair to model ahelmet’s image. All of us had a good time watching the transformation.

Before

After

Our great team can create a great hair style!!!Now Shota can go into the black park without wearing a helmet!!!(Black Park is on Blackcomb Mt. and you must wear a helmet to ride the park.)

ジビングDAY!Jibing day!

どもっす!フィルマーのケイジです。今日は天気が悪かったけど、何日かぶりにモービルで撮影行ってきました〜!メンバーは忠、コニ、ショータと自分の4人。


撮影ポイントは少しモービルで走ったところにある小さなダム。先がクニャッと曲がった金属のパイプを飛び越えて当て込み、小川を飛び越えたり、レッジを擦ったり。みんなこんなの出来るかな〜?なんて考えながらいろいろと遊んできました。[:チョキ:]帰り道、もうすぐ家というところで何故か大渋滞。 [:車(RV):] [:自動車:] [:路線バス:]30分ちょっと待ってやっと動き出して現場を見てみると、何と大きな木を運ぶトレーラがひっくり返って大変な事になってるじゃあ〜りませんか…こんなのに巻き込まれたくないッス…[:ひやひや:]


Hi, it’s Keiji-the filmer.

Despite the bad weather, we went shooting with our sleds for the first time in a few days.

The members were Tadashi, Koni, Shota, and me.

We took our sled to a spot which is a small dam, thinking of No one else will think to do this...

Jump over a bent metal pipe, jump over a brook and slide a ledge...etc

On the way back, with our house just around the corner, we got into a traffic jam.

After waiting 30minutes we could see what had happened. 

A huge logging truck had lost his load and was upside down!!

I don’t ever want to get into this kind of trouble...wow.


JUST SOME VIDEO WE FOUND ON YOU TUBE....

04/25/07

左膝前十字靭帯損傷 Torn ACL of the left knee.

うぇ〜い[:猫2:]3月4日、ホームマウンテンの苗場浅貝ゲレンデのパークでノリノリで滑っていてキッカーで飛び過ぎてフラットランディングを試みたがランディングと同時に膝がバキっ[:どんっ:]1発K.O[:びっくり:]で、28日に入院して翌日に手術しました[:病院:]これからリハビリで〜す[:ジョギング:]

Hellooo. This is MAGUN...I was riding the park at Naeba Asagai which is my home mountain, on Mar.4th. When I hit a kicker I was kinda too stoked and I flew too high that I couldn’t make the landing and went so flat! Then, CRACK!! I was knocked out...I went into the hospital and I had a surgery the next day.Now I starting rehab!

04/24/07

04/20/07

毎度ー!

フィルマーのタローです。ショータ、ジュン、コウスケででっかい裏山に行って来ました。

Hello! It’s Taro the filmer.Shota, Jun, Kosuke and I went to the back country.

本日は快晴、久しぶりです。雪の状態のいい所を探してラインを刻んできました。

Today, we had a very clear day in a long while.We looked for some nice-conditioned lines and rode them.


やっぱ青空での撮影は最高でした!!

It was great that we could shoot under such a nice sky!!


これは、スノーモービルのオイルを買いに行ったついでに見にいった滝です。マイナスイオンなんて言ってたのに、蚊が大量発生してたので、速攻逃げてきました。

We went to see this waterfall while we were in Squamish to buy oil for our sleds. We heard that we could get some negative ions in places like waterfalls, but there were a swarm of mosquitoes and we left there right away.


折れた木なんですが、何と言う生命力!

It’s a broken tree but surprisingly strong!

04/19/07

がっちりとどもども〜!昨日今日と撮影かなりがんばってきました!ブログ更新できなくてゴメンなさい。m(__;)m昨日のメンバーは、忠、コニ、アキ、フォトグラファーマルさん、フィルマーのケイジの5人。天気がばっちりと当たったのでがっちり撮影してきました!久しぶりに晴れたのでみんなもやる気充分!次から次へとポイントへ移動しまくっていい写真、映像がとれて良かったです。(^^)アキ君の特大フロントフリップにはみんなテンション上がりまくりでした。朝6時半に出て、家に戻ってきたのは夜8時すぎ。。。 かなりタフな一日だったな〜。(^^;)

Hi there! We went shooting yesterday and today!

Sorry that we couldn’t update our blog.The members for yesterday’s session were Tadashi, Koni, Aki, Dice and Keiji. 

It was such nice weather so we had a great session. We didn’t have such nice skies for a long time so we were stoked! 

We kept moving from spot to spot and took many photos and videos. Aki’s huge front flip stoked us out!

Despite the fact we left the house at 6:30am, we got home a little past 8pm.It was a very tough shooting day.


モービルに弁当箱をセット!かなり調子いいようです。(^^)

Setting a lunch box in our sled to warm it up. It looks good.         

タダシはバックフリップ、アキはフロントフリップをメイク!  ライン系で遊びまくったポイント。影が人の顔みたいですな。

Tadashi made a back flip. Aki made a front flip.These were some lines that looked like a human face.


04/17/07

4月16日マッサージだべ〜〜〜! MASSAGE TIME!

今日は、天気が悪くてお休みです。んで、マッサージですよ〜。。コレが気持ちいいんだわ(笑)オレらいっつもやられてるから。ビシバシってね?なにげに体はボロボロなんですよ。元気なふりしてるけど(笑)でもね〜!頑張って4回転のバックフリップを決めるまで??????(アキ君だよ)こんな事やってるから体ボロボロになるんだよね〜!よーしヨガってやる!ストレッチは大事だよみんな〜。

It’s bad weather and we were off today.So! We massaged each other and it felt really great! (don’t take me wrong!) 

We always overuse our body so even if the outside looks good, our inside of our body is screaming!

But, you know, we don’t give up until we land the trick like when Aki spun a 4 time back flip... that’s why our body is crying so hard!

Ooookeeey, I’ll do some Yoga stretching.Stretching is really important, guys.How about this pose?

こんなポーズはどうかな〜?


04/17/07

深っ! It’s deep!

どもっす!昨日は忠、コニ、アキ、ケイジで撮影!天気は思ったよりも良くなくて、晴れたり曇ったりだったけど、いろいろやってきました!雪が思ったより良くて場所によってはかなり深かった〜でっかいウィンドリップで遊んだり、でっかいシュートを滑ってみたり。最後は岩越えのジャンプでセッションしてました。コニはBs1をスムースにメイク [:チョキ:]何とアキ君はキャブ9をトライ。着地した後につぶされてしまったけどスゴかったな〜みんな盛り上がってました。(^^)

Hello, yesterday we (Tadashi, Koni, Aki, Keiji) went shooting.

The weather was not as good as I expected and some clouds appeared throughout the day. But we got some nice shots!At some points, the snow was good and deep.

We hit some wind lips, rode a big chute and had a session at a rock-over jump. Koni made a back side one smoothly.

Aki tried a cab 9. 

He exploded when he landed but it was so cool.Everybody had a good time.


忠が滑ったやばいシュート。抜けた後のチョッカリは自己新記録のスピードだったみたい。(^^;)

This is the chute that Tadashi rode. He made a new speed record for sure!

We found a huge log!


帰り道にでっかいログを発見!

We play by throwing stones at a rock for two pitchers of beer!

その後は4人でビールのピッチャー2杯を賭けて下にある岩に石投げ勝負!コニタンごちそうさまです。[:ビール:]

Koni, Thank you for the beer!


04/14/07

冬が来たぁぁ〜 Winter again!

どもです!ウィスラーに冬がまた来ました〜!最近暖かくて春みたいだったけど、今日雪が降ったお陰でいい感じ!明日はパウパウです!多分!

The winter come again to Whistler!

We had some warm days lately but today was snowing.

Maybe it’ll be powder snow tomorrow!


夜はウィスラーで行われているTELUS WORLD フェスティバルのBIG AIRの公開練習行ってきました!BIG AIRにはショータ。HPにはタカ。スロープにはナターシャがエントリー。今日の公開練習は雪が降ったせいでスピードが足らずにほとんどが角落ち。。。でも明日の本戦は整備も入ってきっといい感じになるでしょう!楽しみだな〜!

At night, we went to the public practice session for the BIG AIR for the TELUS WORLD FESTIVAL!

Shota entered the BIG AIR contest, Taka did the half pipe and Natazsa did the Stompede.

Because of the new snow, most of the riders couldn’t get enough speed and they couldn’t make their landings.

But upon tomorrow’s real contest, the landing should be maintained and the riders will show us some great tricks!

I’m so excited!

04/13/07

休憩 Break time.

どうもー!!フィルマーのタローです。一昨日バンクーバーの近くのシーモアと言うスキー場に行った帰りのにあまりにも奇麗だったので休憩がてら、光の柱とショータを撮ってみました。

Hi, this is Taro the filmer.When we were on our way from the ski resort in Vancouver the day before yesterday, it was so beautiful that I could’t help taking pictures. 

It’s a pillar of light and Shota.

04/13/07

今日から From today...

どーも鎌潤です今日からカナダのみんなと合流です楽しみながら頑張るぞー毎度ですコウスケです雪がいっぱいあってびっくりしてます楽しみながらてんぱるぞ〜

Hi! This is Kama-Jun! 

From today, I’ll start snowboarding with the Heart riders in Whistler. 

I’ll enjoy myself and try hard!

Hello, It’s Kosuke.I’m surprised that there is so much snow.

I’ll enjoy myself too and step it up!


04/12/07

あれ、雪いいでー。Hmm...good snow...

コニシでスー。今日は雪質なんか期待してなかったのに上がってみると、あららパウダーじゃないですか。ヤッホーー。今日のメンツは忠、タカ、コニシ、ケイジ。ジャンプしたり、フリーライディングしたり。ローングパウダーラン。ヘリツアーで滑るような斜面を2回も滑ったよ。気持ちイガッター。イギナリ。(仙台弁?)んでもって今日、潤君とコウスケがウィスラーにやって来ました。heart houseは狭くなったけど、ワイワイして楽しい感じになってます。鈴木兄弟とタロさんがメンチカツを作ってます。もう夜の11時になろうっていうのに。。てな感じでガンガン楽しんで行きマース。

It’s Konishi!

I wasn’t expected any good snow today but once I went up to the mountain, hooray!

There was powder snow!Today, I went up with Tadashi, Taka and Keiji. 

We hit some jumps and we went free riding on a loooong powder run! We found really nice lines like when we go heli-boarding.

I felt so nice!Also, today, Jun and Kosuke came to Whistler so the Heart house became busy and our living space became smaller. 

But it would be more lively and fun.

The Suzuki brothers and Taro are making some meat cut-let. 

It’s already 11pm...We are sure that we’ll have so much fun here.

バンクーバーのローカルスキー場 Ski resort in Vancouver!

どうも!どうも!今日、みんなでバンクバーのスキー場に行ってきたんだ〜。なんで行ったかとい言うと。ワイルドキャッツのイベントがあるって聞いて行ったんだけど!!それが行ったら、誰もいなくてさ〜?とりあえずボックスがあったからそれで遊んでたらデバンとJFとカール(IS DESIGNのマネージャー)がやっと着たと思ったら。GTの(そり)コースのレーアウトを3人で話し合いに着てただけでさ〜。だから、オレらは、ハイクをしながら昔を思い出すねっとか言いながら(昔はボロボロのハーフパイプで練習したんですよ)楽しんじゃいました。んで、オレが撮ったベストショットがタクミのワンフットマック!コレいいでしょ!

Hello, Hello!

We went to a ski resort in Vancouver today because we thought that the Wild Cat’s event will be held there. 

But! No one was there!!We were riding a box and finally Devan and JF and Karl (manager of IS DESIGN) showed up.

But they came up for a meeting to discuss the layout of the GT sled’s race...So... we just rode half pipe for some fun. 

Hiking up the pipe brought back memories of some years ago... 

We used to practice with a crappy half pipe... Sweet memories. (?!)

This is Takumi’s one foot mctwist! Isn’t he awesome?


04/10/07

どうも!フィルマーのタローです。今日は雨なので適当に写真のせました。

2007.04.10 Tuesday

Hey yo!It’s Taro the filmer.

Today was raining so I am posting some random photos for you to enjoy.


ウィスラーでの昼食風景        Lunch at Whistler mountain.


オレ、ショータで初めて作ったカツ丼。まぁまぁうまかったです!

Taro and me made “Katsu-don” (pork-cutlet rice bowl) for the first time.

It was not too bad.


家に遊びに来るきれいな鳥。何て鳥でしょう?

Some beautiful blue jays come to see us.


タクミとショータが変な動物がいたと言ったので引き返して見たら、ラマでした。

Takumi and Shota told me that they saw a weird animal, and it was a llama.

おすし!SUSHI!!!

昨日はみんなオフしてました。[:温泉:]みんなそれぞれゆっくりしてたり、スケートしにいったり、パソコンやったり。そして夜は久しぶりにお寿司食べてきました〜!ウィスラービレッジにある寿司屋さん。おいしかった〜!

Yesterday, all of us took a day off and had our own holiday...relaxing, skate boarding, using our Macs etc...At night, we went to Sushi-Ya in Whistler village!

It was soooooooo delicious!



いつもお世話になってるヤマさん。      お寿司はもちろん唐揚げもおいしいッス。

This is Sushi-Ya’s owner Yama-san, he is always helpful to us.      

Fried chicken is so good as well as the Sushi!

春デス。あったかいなぁぁ〜今朝は山の上でも4℃。ウィスラーは完全春モードです。今日はモービルでヒップのようなジャンプを作って撮影してきました。メンバーは忠、コニ、タカ、フォトグラファーのジョン、自分(ケイジ)の5人。タカは初めてのモービルでかなりやられてましたね。グラブできないかもって言ってました。(笑)天気がいまいちで、晴れ間を待ったりしながらのジャンプ。この晴れ待ちが結構ツラいんですよ。。。ランディングが悪くかなりむずかしいコンディションだったけど、みんな映像を残そうと何度もトライ!いくつかいいカットが残せたのでよかったです。(^^)

2007.04.08 Sunday

Spring timeIt's warm... 

It’s 4 degrees even on the mountain today.

Spring has come to Whistler.We shot some hip jumps today.

The members were Tadashi, Koni, Taka, John-photographer and me-Keiji.

Taka rode his sled for the first time and he looked really tired as he said “Maybe I can’t even make a grab...”

The weather was not so good and we had to wait around for the sun to take a shot.Waiting for the sun is more tiring than you can imagine...

Also the landing was bad and it was a difficult condition but the riders tried again and again!

So we could take some good shots.コニ&タカ                 フォトグラファーのジョン。

ランチのあとはポイントを移動してウッドレールをやってきました。コニとジョンは川に落ちました。[:たらーっ:]

Koni & Taka John the photographer

After having lunch, we moved to another place and hit a wood rail.Koni and John fell into the river.

ウォールライド〜どもで〜す!フィルマーのケイジです。ナターシャが狙っていたウォールライドの撮影してきました !コニも合流し、いつもと違ったライダーの組み合わせだったのでおもしろかったな〜2人とも『こんなの初めてだからどうやったらいいか想像つかないな〜』なんて言いながらも、ナターシャはFsの壁でいい高さで当て込み、コニはBsの壁でfs3をメイク。アーリーウープみたいな感じでかなりカッコ良かったです [:イケテル:]

2007.04.07 Saturday

Wall Ride!

This is Keiji!

We went shooting at a wall ride which Natazsa has been itching to hit.

Koni came with us and we had so much fun because the combination of riders were different than the usual suspects.

Natazsa hit the front side wall with great height and Koni made a front side 3 at the back side wall even though they said “I’ve never done this and I don’t know how to ride!”.

It looked like an alley oop and it was so cool.


きれいな空だったな〜。これでも夜7時くらい。カナダの春はもっと日が長くなってきます。

Beautiful sky! It was about 7pm. The days will be getting longer and longer in the springtime in Canada.

04/06/07

ウィスラーにも春が来た。コニシです。拓巳、タダシ、フィルマーのケイジ、そして久々登場の石原君、とワイの5人でウィスラーのパークを滑りました。今シーズンはホンマにパークを全然滑ってなかったのでここぞとばかりに滑りまくりました。あったかくなって板の走りは悪いけど、ステップアップのキッカーとかステップダウンとか他では見た事無いアイテムがいっぱいあって楽しいパークでした。石原君がレールをしてるのを初めて見ました。なかなかやるじゃないか。拓巳がフロントフリップをやりました。なかなか良かったです。忠がめずらしくやられました。痛そうでした。ワイはb720が何度やってもメイク出来ませんでした。他にもいっぱい出来なかった技がありました。まあそんなもんです。

2007.04.06 Friday

Spring has come to Whistler!

It’s Konishi.Takumi, Tadashi, Keiji, Ishihara-kun(He appeared for the first time in a long time) and me went snowboarding at the Whistler park.

I haven’t been snowboarding at this park so I was excited to take this opportunity and just go riding.

It was getting warmer and the board was sliding bad, but there were some rare items like a stepping-up kicker or a stepping-down so I enjoyed the park.

I saw Ishihara-kun riding rails for the first time. He was good.

Takumi did a front flip, he was good too.

Tadashi fell. It was unlike him and it looked painful.

I tried a back side 720 so many times but I couldn’t land it. I also couldn’t land some other tricks.

That’s the way sometimes!

road trip

フィルマーのタローです。今回は、タダシ アキ ジョン(カメラ) オレでカナダとアラスカの国境付近にある stewart に3泊4日で往復34時間ドライブして行って来ました。その時の写真です。

2007.04.05 Thursday

ROAD TRIP

This is Taro the filmer.Tadashi, Aki, John and me went on a road trip to Stewart.

It is in BC near the border of Alaska. We went for 4 days and 3 nights. 

It took 34 hours by truck to get there and back.

The following photos were taken during the trip.


まずは、今回のオレ以外のメンバー。

First of all, these are the members for the trip. (John , Aki, Taro and Tadashi)


ガソリンスタンド。朝3時30分位に出てこれが3回目でした。

We left Whistler at 3:30am and this was the third gas station we had filled up at.


ドライブが長過ぎて、どれを載せればいいのか悩んだんですがstewart付近は車からはこんな感じでした。

We drove way too long and I didn’t know which photos should be shown here...

Near Stewart, these were the scenery from the car.


で氷河も見えました。

The famous Stewart Glacier.山で

のスポットチェック。手前がアキで奥に立ってるのがタダシ。

帰りもまた17時間ドライブ。17 hour drive to get home...


帰りもまた4.5回は行ったガソリンスタンド。窓も洗ってもらいます。

We stopped 4 or 5 times for gas. A staff washing windows for us.


凄く長い真っ直ぐな道路撮ったんですが、さっき洗ってもらった窓が汚かったので横線が出来てしまいました。

Very long and straight road.


こんな感じでいろいろ撮って来たので、映像をお楽しみに!!

We got various shots in Stewart, please check it out our next DVD.

あと、ほとんどを運転してくれたタダシとアキ、それにカメラマンで来てくれたジョン本当にお疲れさまでした。

In closing, I’d like to thank Tadashi and Aki for driving most of the way, and thank you John for coming with us as a cameraman on such short notice!We appreciate it!!!

2007.04.05 Thursday

go for it !!

Long time no see!! It’s Hiromi!!

I went to the event called “go for it” which is an annual event for a snowboard shop in Fukushima!!This year, the event was held at night and it was raining but we had fun with a box, a drum and a wall.

Mikey and Benedek were there too! 

They were so cool!!

At the night party I did IT again, same as last year...A girls dance trio(who were wearing sexy T-back panties) were going to reggae dance, but before their show, I(wearing big T-shirt and sweat pants) danced reggae.

 I’m really sorry.I was too excited to take any photos. Sorry!

04/04/07

ぴーかん!今日はがっちり晴れました〜♪ということで朝一からモービルへGO!メンバーはショータと昨日合流したコニと自分(ケイジ)。タクミは首が痛いみたいで残念ながら今日はお休み。

2007.04.04 Wednesday

Clear sky!

It was super sunny today♪So we headed out with our sleds early in the morning!

The members were Shota, Koni and me-Keiji.

Takumi took the day off for his neck was a bit sore.


モービルを降ろせるところまで少し砂利道。         テキパキと準備するコニ&ショータ。

Dirt road until we could unload the sleds.Koni and Shota preparing their sleds without wasting any time.

まずはポイントまでのツラいバンプ(モービルが走ると雪道が削られてウェーブ状になっている事。)を走り抜けます。ショータと自分はここに連日来てたので少し慣れてるけど、コニは久しぶりのモービルだったのでかなり体力を奪われてました。[:たらーっ:]

We had to go through some hard bumps to get to the spot.

Shota and I had been there before and we had already gotten used to the bumps, but Koni was having a hard time because it was his first time out on his sled in a long time.

昨日さんざん天気待ちしたけどやれなかったポイントへ到着。今日の天気は問題なし。やっと撮影できて嬉しかったな〜!

We arrived to the spot where we couldn’t take any shots the other day.

The weather today was excellent! Finally we could shoot there.


ジャンプの全景。穴に落ちたら大変…            晴れて嬉しいみんな。(^^)

This is the jump. If you fall into a hole...brrr. Happy faces.(^^)


次のポイントへ移動!後はすごい雪煙。    ノリノリのショータ。

Moving to the next spot. Snow smoke after we passed through. Shota was cooking.


さて私は誰でしょう?? (笑)Who am I?

その後は昨日最後にキッカーを作り置きしていたポイントへ。少し手直ししていい感じ!すぐにジャンプセッションスタート♪

We went to the kicker which we made yesterday and we fixed it a little.The jump session started quickly.


昨日作り置きしたキッカーはこんな感じ。         左からコニ、フミ、ショータ。

This is the kicker. From left, Koni, Fumi and Shota.

帰り際

に発見したアイスケーブ。すごくきれい。 記念にパシャ! [:カメラ:]ショータもコニも果敢に攻めてたな〜。いい一日でした。(^^)

We found an ice cave. It was really beautiful. Say Cheese!

Shota and Koni were so aggressive. It was good day for them.

heart houseに戻ってからの2人。炒飯を作るコニ。               かなり日焼けしてきたショータ。

Shota and Koni at the heart house.Koni making fried rice. 

Shota is tuning out too much lately!@!!...


04/03/07

さむかったぁ〜〜どもっす!ケイジです。今日はショータと2人で撮影行ってきましたよ〜朝から冷え込みが激しく山頂では何とマイナス15度。。。こんなに寒いのは久しぶりだったんで2人とも結構ヤラれてました。[:ムニョムニョ:]午前中は気持ちよく晴れていてキッカーでジャンプできたんですが、午後狙っていたポイントに到着した頃からくら〜い雲がもくもくと出現。。。『大丈夫!もうすぐ晴れるでしょ!』『少し明るくなってきたんじゃない??』な〜んて希望を捨てずに待つ事1時間半。。。結局明るくはならず撮影できませんでした…。かなりくやしいッス。思わせぶりな太陽に2人とも翻弄されまくり…やっぱり晴れ待ちはキツいですね。。

2007.04.03 Tuesday

Coooold day.Hey, it’s Keiji. 

I went shooting with Shota today. Since morning it was so chilly and on the top of the mountain the temperature was minus 15 degrees.

It had been a while for us to feel this damn cold in a long time so we got tired super fast.We spent the entire morning hitting some jumps but in the afternoon it started getting dark and clouds rolled in as soon as we got to our new spot. 

We were like, “It’ll be fine!” “Yeah it’s going to get better!”and waited for sunshine for one and half hours. 

In the end, we couldn’t get any shots because of the weather so we were frustrated!

We had been teased by the Sun...I don’t like having to wait for the sun.


そのまま何もしないのは、かなりしゃくだったので別なところにキッカーを作って帰ることにしました。。。今日からコニも合流したので気を取り直し、明日はコニ&タクミ&ショータと自分の4人で行ってきま〜す!

We felt like we couldn't go home empty handed so we made a kicker at another place. Koni came back from Japan so hopefully he will help change the mood tomorrow and we will go shoot something different tomorrow.

04/02/07

少しだけど…

どもども!フィルマーのケイジです。久しぶりにウィスラーに雪降りましたよ〜山の上には少しはつもったんじゃないかな? 多分…!(希望)明日も早起きしてタクミ&ショータと撮影してこようと思います。ショートトリップに出た忠達は無事についたのかな〜?なかなかのロングドライブですよね…スケジュール的にも大変だと思うけど、きっといろいろと新しい事をやってくるに違いない!残った僕らもがんばっていきまっす!やるなら今しかね〜♪P.S. もうすぐ一時帰国していたコニタンが合流! 怪我をしていたナターシャも元気に滑り始めてますよ〜。v(^^)

2007.04.02 Monday

A little bit of...

Hello, it’s Keiji the filmer.We had some snow fall in Whistler after a long time of now new snow.I hope that on the mountain there may be new snow accumilation. (I wish)

I’ll wake up early and go shooting with Takumi&Shota.

I wonder if Tadashi’s crew got to Srewart all right.It’s kind of long drive...

Hopefully they will get to shoot some new and fun things despite their super tight schedule!

The rest of us will do our best or more!

The time is now!

PS. Koni, who was in Japan will come back today. Natasza recovered from her injury and she is now snowboarding... (^^)


04/01/07

What's up ! 

みなさ〜ん。What's up みんな元気してる。今日は、カナディアンのカメラマンを連れて撮影してたんだ。ヤバイよ、オレ英語うまくなるかも。だはぁ〜なるわけね〜か!!!んでも今日、単語覚えたんだよ(???)明日は、ショートトリップに行くんだ〜。ウィスラーから15時間ぐらいのとこにね。なかなか辛そうだよ。でも!ヤルしかね〜。人生一回(笑)こんな感じですよ〜みんな〜頑張りつつ楽しんでね〜。

2007.04.01 Sunday

What's up everybody? What's up what’s up?

We went shooting with a Canadian cameraman today.

Oops, maybe I can be a good English speaker.Nahhhhh, it’s not going to happen!!!

But I studied some English words!

We are going to go on a short road trip tomorrow. 

Its a 15 hour drive from Whistler. Sounds like it may be hard. But! I just have to do it. Life is only one-time. (^^)

Everybody should keep trying and having fun!See ya!

ほんじゃ!

28th, let’s have fun riding with Heart Film’s riders! 



- NATASZA からメッセージ -I'm at the Inawashiro resort for the moon shoot now. Annie Fast from TWS is also here so at least I have one english speaking person to talk to. I went to look at the slope with Keiji today and it looks fun! 



2007/02/24 日本オープン02 / Nippon Open 02

 

本日の日本オープンは、コニがレールジャムに出場しやしたが残念な事に優勝の3000ドルは、ゲットならずでしたが攻め攻めでかなり男前のライディングで観客も大盛り上がりでした。毎年レールジャムの後に花火が上がるんですが、今年も最高の花火でした。ちなみに、凄さがあまりつたわらないですがこんな感じです。

Konishi entered the Rail Jam but couldn’t win the prize money of $3000.He rode awesome and his riding was damn good as the spectators were goingoff! Every year after the Rail Jam there are fireworks set off. This year, it wasgreat as usual! A photo of the fireworks.

 



- from Natasza -I have seen so many people I've met before here in Alts Bandai...I saw Michiyo, Rieppe, Miki, someone else...I can't remember her name. I had a great time at the Nippon Open! The kicker was so poppy that you had to go into it with a lot of speed and then after that came a huge hip. There weren't any rails which isn't typical of a slopestyle event. But here in Japan it's called park style cause someone bought the rights to 'slopestyle' so they can't use it. I didn't make it past semi finals. I landed my run but I missed the grab on my frontside 540. This is how competing is...one simple grab or not can mean the difference between advancing to the next round or being eliminated. I'm not bummed to miss the podium but a little bummed because now I can't hit those jumps anymore. I met with Keiji and we're going to the moon shoot together and afterwards he said he would help me get to Narita airport. This is a photo of last nights karaoke session...20 sweaty people all screaming into the mic in a karaoke sauna!

2007/02/23 日本オープン01 / Nippon Open 01

 昨日は日本オープンのハーフパイプセミファイナルがありました。雨が降ってるなか、タカが出場しましたが残念な事にファイナルには進めませんでしたが、ダブル位飛んでスピンをばんばん決めてました。

Half pipe semifinal was held yesterday.Taka entered the semifinals in the rain but unfortunately he couldn’t go tothe finals.But he did hit the jump twice as high as anyone else and did some sickspins!



2007/02/22 NIPPON OPENに来ましたーー。

Nippon Open Begins! 

どーもコニシです。NIPPON OPENに来ましたー。今日はパークスタイルの予選と準決勝がありました。コニシはもちろん予選落ちです。ジャンプとヒップが雪不足にもかかわらずええサイズで出来てたんやけど、ヒップのランディングで角に乗っかって吹っ飛ばされました。 ワイがこけるのは珍しくないけど他のHEARTFILMSのメンツも全滅です。こういう時もあるんですねー。でも土曜日のレールジャムに出るので、そんときはやったろかなー思てます。______________________________________________________________________________

Hello, this is Konishi.I came to the Nippon Open. There were qualifiers and semi finals for thePark Contest today. I didn't do well:( Despite the snow shortage, thejump and hip were a nice size;) But unfortunately I fell on all thelandings:( It’s not uncommon that I fell, but all the other Heart Films members alsowashed out! Now that's uncommon! But on Saturday’s rail jam, you’ll see!


帰りがけに夕日の光がきれいやったからちょこっと撮影しました。ちっちゃいギャップに夢中になって縦回転してました。色がきれーよ。お楽しみニー。

On my way back, the sunset was nice and I took this picture. The color wasbeautiful!

Hey this is Shota!Today is the public practice session for the park for the Nippon Open.I went to the small park because the other main practice area was socrowded. I hit a small kicker and almost died but thank god for the slushysnow! I’m going to do a Triple-back flip tomorrow--! (Just Kidding!)Come and see me! ___________________________________________________________________________

今日は新しいポイントへ!メンバーは忠、アキ、フウタとフィルマーのケイジ。 ハイクして何か面白いことができないかと探し回り、いい斜度が見つかったのでキッカーを作って撮影してきました。[:カメラ:]

We went to a new spot today!The members were Tadashi, Aki, Futa and Keiji (filmer). We hiked to find a fun spot and found a nice slope for a jump. We made akicker and filmed.

天気はいまいち。どんよりと曇った空から時々顔を出す太陽。よりいい映像を撮るために晴れを待ってのジャンプ。

The weather wasn’t good.The sun come out once in a while.We had to wait around for the sun to get good footage. 

集中力も途切れるくらいの長くツラい時間…

We had a hard time waiting for the sun and it tampered with the rider'sconcentration. 

結局明るい時に飛べたのは2~3本。自分のタイミングで飛べない難しい状況でも、3人ともカッコいいジャンプしてました。(^^)

They could only hit the jump a few times in the daylight.The riders killed the jump despite their difficult situation. (^^)


ファーストジャンプでBs180を決める忠 / Tadashi did a backside 180 on the first jump.

   待ち時間が長くていつもと違う疲労感。今日はなかなか厳しい撮影でした。。。[:プシュー:]

Today, the waiting time was very long and tiring.It was a tough filming day… 

明日は北海道最終日!忠はアルツで行われるNIPPON OPENへ向かいます。晴れてほしいな〜

Tomorrow will be the last day in Hokkaido!Tadashi is going to Arutu to go to the NIPPON OPEN.We hope for some sunny skies!

 _________________________________________________________________________ 2007.02.17 

SaturdaySunny--- (^^) We left at six in the morning today!The forecast was right and it was sunny today. (^^) After we hit cliffs at Tochigatake, we went to a spot we had set up earlier.We hit a few jumps and then rode some powder.We were shooting until the sun went down.That’s how it should be! The sunny skies lifted our spirits up.


きれいに晴れた旭岳。Asahidake was brilliantly sunny.


何とキツネが登場。かわいいヤツです。

Wow, a cute little fox appeared! 


2007/02/16 

かまくらランチ♪ どもです!忠と潤君、フォトグラファーのヌマクさん、ケイジの4人は朝から十勝岳へ行ってきました。(^^)風邪がスゴく強くて天気も悪かったけど、ツリーの中は風もなくていい感じでした。パウダースプレーをあげたり、マッシュからジャンプしたり、その時その状況で出来ることを撮影してきました。[:カメラ:] 


2007.02.16 

FridayHaving Lunch at KAMAKURA (snow cave) Hello!Tadashi, Jun, Numaku (photographer) and Keiji went to Tokachidake from themorning. (^^)It was windy and bad weather, but in the trees there was no wind at alland very nice.We shot sprays of powder, mushroom lines, and whatever we could shoot inthose conditions.

 

雪が降っていたのでかまくらを掘ってランチタイム。

It was snowing so we made a snow cave to have lunch.

思ったより低かったので首曲げながら食べてました。(笑)

The snow cave was lower than we thought that we had to bend our neckforward while we ate. :) 

タクミ&タローさんは札幌方面で撮影してきたそうです。明日は晴れ予想!みんな合流してがっちりやってきま〜す!

Takumi and Taro-san were shooting around Sapporo.Tomorrow will be sunny! We will all get together and do our best!

  2007/02/15

 大荒れ…?? 

大荒れになる予想だったけど天気は落ち着いてますね〜昨日まで-17度とかだったのに今日はプラスまで温度が上昇。街中は少し春みたいです。 …当たらないな…天気予報。(苦笑) 昨日に引き続き、今日も何かできそうなポイントを探しに行ってきました! しか〜し… 目星を付けておいたポイントに行ってみるけど、実際近くで見てみるとちょっと微妙。他のポイントに行ってみても雪がいまいち良くなかったり。そう簡単には心がグッと引きつけられるようなところは見つからないもんですね。。。 今日もかなり車を走らせて探しまわったけど撮影できず。残念デス。。。 また明日頑張ります! 

2007.02.15 

Thursday Stormy…?? 

According to the forecast, today’s weather is supposed to be stormy, butit’s calm.Until yesterday the temperature had been minus 17 or something but it’splus today.It’s a bit like spring in the town. The weather forecast can’t be right… Today, we went to look for some good points. BUUUUUUUT… Went to the point which we had marked out, but actually it’s not that good.At other spots, snow was no good either.We can’t find good spots easily… We drove the car here and there but couldn’t find any spots and no shootingtoday. Too bad. Maybe tomorrow.


何かできないかとイメージ中の忠。

Tadashi was thinking that he would do something.


たまたま走って見つけた氷の滝。すごい迫力だったな〜

We happen to find the iced water fall. That was really something. 

2007/02/14

 走りまくり。

Run and run. 

寒い!今日もがっちりマイナスの世界です。(笑)

It’s cold! Another cold day today. :)

 

旭川からいいポイントを探しに車で移動。まずは名寄目指して北上します。

We left Asahikawa to look for good areas by car.First, we went up north toward Nayoro.

 

途中で面白い人口ログみたいなところで撮影した後はほとんど移動。人生初の流氷見てから戻ってきました。もしかしたら400km近く走ったかも。(苦笑)

We shot an artificial log along the way, but mostly we continued on.We saw an iced waterfall. (That was my first time seeing a frozenwaterfall.)We drove nearly 400Km today. 

明日からの天気はかなり荒れるみたい。雪降ってリセットしてくれればいいな〜〜!

It seems to be bad weather starting tomorrow.Hope to have snow to make everything new! 

2007/02/13 

朝、車の外気温の表示をチェックしたらなんと-17もありました。

静岡では桜が咲いてるのに北海道はまだまだ真冬です。本日の撮影は十勝岳。天気良くなる事が少ないと聞いていた十勝岳が、がっちり天気が良くピークまでバッチリ抜けてました。初めて行ったんですがかなりごつい山でした。


午前中はクリフでセッション、午後は前日見つけた凍った滝の前でスラッシングタダシ、ジュン、フウタで各自攻め方もいろいろで今日もいいセッションが出来ました。




2007/02/12 

寒い!。。。ヤバイよ〜!  今日は、チョー寒かったよ〜!(北海道の十勝岳)メンバーは、鎌ジュン!フ〜タ(福島の???)今日はですね〜何をしたかとゆうとまずは、ハイクをしまくった(かなり疲れたよ〜)しかもオレが先頭(笑)んで、ヤバイジャンプを作り明日にむけて帰って来ちゃいました(笑)ホントいい感じだよ〜(ちょっと気になるっしょ!!すいません)ハハ〜お楽しみだよ〜!。。。。。。疲れたからまた明日[:ビール:]。。。おやすみなさ〜い。



2007/02/11

ふらの 今日は富良野スキー場へ!メンバーは忠、潤君、今日から合流したフウタ、そしてフィルマーのタローさんとケイジ。天気は曇った感じで、フリーランしながら撮影ポイントを探しまわってました。日曜なのにそこまで混んでいなくて、パウダーもかなり残っていて良かったな〜。みんなハッスルしてました。マッシュや、いろいろ撮影してかなり楽しく笑った1日だったな〜。[:温泉:]


潤君とフウタ。テンション上がってます。


思い切り踏み切って飛んでいくフウタ。この後スゴい事しちゃいます。ナイス! そうそう、TOYOTA BIG AIRでアキ君、ショータがbest8に入ったそうです!ショータと話したんですけど、かなり気持ちよく飛んでたみたい。TV放映楽しみですね! 2007/02/10 探索!! 朝7時にホテルを出発!旭川から車で1時間半ほどのところで撮影してきました [:カメラ:] 車を走らせながら撮影できそうなポイントを見つけると、スノーシューに履き替えてハイクアップ開始。今日の気温は何と-23度!寒いっス…。ホントにしばれます。(苦笑)

 

忠はいきなりハードなラインをメイクして、 みんなを驚かせててましたね。 [:イケテル:]

 

潤君もかなり楽しそうに滑ってました。(^^)

 

フィルミングしているアヤしい忠。(笑)


久しぶりにいっぱい歩いたな〜川にハマるハプニングもあったり、天気良くて楽しい一日でした [:温泉:] 


2007/02/09 

in hokkaido 

雪の少ない仙台から、ジュンと北海道にやってきました。しかも札幌は、雪祭り&トヨタビッグエアーでかなりの盛り上がり。しかも、その両方のコラボレーションで大通り公園でトヨタビッグエアーの日本人アマチュア予選を行うと言う、かなりナイスなイベントをやってました。


それを、軽く見た後タダシと合流して3人でテイネハイランドに行ってきました。この日はナイターセッションで軽くゲレンデ脇のパウダーを満喫したり、壁を見つけて当て込んだりとかなり楽しいセッションが出来ました。


これは、ハンドプラントするジュンとその写真を撮るタダシ。で、この写真は次の日のテイネでの一コマ。



2007/02/08 

ほっかいどう。 どもです! 北海道では潤君タローさんが合流してナイターを滑りに行ったみたいですね。30cm位昨日降ったみたいだからパウダー楽しそうだな〜[:ゆき:] ヒロミは安比から移動中で、2月前半は山形で撮影に励むそう。やりたいポイントがあるって言ってたんで映像見るの楽しみですね! そうそう、みなさんTWJの3月号についているDVDに、昨シーズンやったモービルキャンプの映像が入ってます!メンバーはアキ君maruさん、と自分の4人。アラスカロードトリップから戻り、その次の日も早朝から撮影してから行ったキャンプ。。。 楽しかったけど、そうとうハードスケジュールだったな〜(笑)スノーボード以外にもこんな事してるんだ〜って感じで、まったりと見れると思うんでチェックしてみてくださいね。[:猫2:]

 

明日から自分も北海道に出発しま〜す!楽しみだ〜〜[:チョキ:] 


2007/02/07 

日本。Japan 帰ってきました〜〜ハイウェイでも何もトラブルなくてよかったぁぁ出発前日は一睡もしなかったので機内で曝睡です。。。[:月:]危なく機内食のタイミング逃すところでした。(笑) そうそう、同じ便にトレバーも乗っていました!TOYOTA BIG AIRに出場してからライブするらしいです。(東京なのかな?)相変わらずメローでフレンドリーでした。 TOYOTAと言えば、heart filmsからもアキ君コニタクミショータも出場します!楽しみだな〜!みなさんも応援してくださいね!! タローさん潤君が北海道に明日到着。自分は明後日合流しま〜す![:ゆき:] 2007/02/05 連続… 昨日土砂崩れで通行止めになったハイウェイで、今日はバスとトラックの大事故があって通行止めになってしまいました。。。[:びっくり:] 忠は明日の早朝の便で日本へ帰国する予定で、夕方にウィスラーを出発。しかしこの事故で何時間も足止めされることに。電話で話したけどかなりツラそうでした。 事故処理が思うように行かずにハイウェイはもう大渋滞。夜遅くなってやっと通行出来るようになったみたいです。 明日の早朝に自分もバスでバンクーバーに向かうんですが、こうも連続で事故があるとさすがに不安になってくるな〜…頼みますよ〜[:あせあせ:](苦笑) 2007/02/05 帰国 今日帰国するのに空港に向かってたらバンクーバーの手前で渋滞になったので、送ってくれたyuhoと様子を見に

いったら、    なんと!! 落石 

落石で道路が完全にふさがっていて、なんと先頭にいた車がレッドアイクルーの車でビックリしました。 周りを見てもいつ崩れるかわからない感じの壁がまだ何カ所かあったので通る人は要注意!! 2007/02/04 春?? 今日は忠とゲレンデへ!暖かいっすね〜。朝降っていた雪も昼には雨に変わっていました… まるで春デス。。。 リフトで雨に打たれるのに耐えきれず、短期集中で滑って下山しました。でもカチカチだったバーンも少し柔らかくなってカービング気持ちよかったな。


『みんなあつまれ〜』って感じです。 今朝出発したショータとタローさんですが、バンクーバーに行く途中のハイウェイで落石が道をふさいでしまってフライトに間に合わなかったみたい。。。巻き込まれなくてよかっですね…[:冷や汗:] 2007/02/03 いざ日本へ。 今日はショータ&タローさんがカナダ最終日。忠のところで飲みながらいろいろ話してました♪ 明日の飛行機はマンモスに行っているアキ君と同じ便みたい。他のクルーも同じ便らしいので、かなり濃い空の旅になるような気がします。[:ピピピ:] 残念ながらカナダはしばらく雪降らなそうです。。。もしかしたら近いうちに忠と北海道に行くかもしれないですね。雪を追いかけなければ![:パンチ:]

 

雪が良かった頃の景色。懐かしい… ショータちゃんと起きろよ〜〜。(笑) 

2007/02/02 

久しぶりのオフ 今日は激ハードなロードトリップから帰ってきて初めてのオフ。忠も今日はゆっくりできたみたい。 ショータとタローさんはheart house近くのモービルポイントに行ってきたようです。やっぱり雪はカッチカチで、キャタピラも空回りするようなくらいツルツルだったみたいですね… ちょっと怖そうだなぁ… 自分は1日たまってきた映像をまとめたりしてました。ホームページでも映像見れるようになったのでチェックしてくださいね! 

2007/02/01 

カチカチパーク 今日はブラッコムスキー場のパークに行ってきました!メンバーは忠、コニ、ショータ、フィルマーのタローさん、ケイジ。 タクミは1ヶ月半、カナダでの撮影を終えて日本に向けて出発。みんなも2月は日本でTOYOTA BIG AIRや NIPPON OPENなどに出場する予定です。 久しぶりのゲレンデは、雪が降ってなくてかなり固い状態。天気は最高なんだけどね。パークもかなり気合い入ったアイテムばかり。見た目に圧倒されます。(苦笑)みんな調子を見ながら滑って、最後はクォーターでハイクしてハンドプラントセッションしてました。[:イケテル:]


夜はみんなでウィスラーでお世話になっている『寿司屋』のヤマさん、フォトグラファーのmaruさんとご飯食べにいってきました。

奄美にて

The Bastards Day feature...

First off let me start by saying Bastards Day was an absolute blast.. I'm still not sure how we managed to pull it all together. The whole thing started out with Dev, JF and myself trying to figure out a way to get the whole crew together for a fun day of filming. Next think I know we have Seymour locked down for the location and Pilsner and Redbull on board for sponsors.



When all those frosty Pilsner tacklers showed up to the office I knew Bastards day was gonna be a day to remember. Setting up the event seemed easy enough. We already picked up 10 GT's and had food & beverages covered.. All we had left to do was build the GT course and a couple obstacles to snowboard on. Wrong.. The Tuesday before the event was an extreme low point. We almost called off the whole thing. Nothing was ready and there was now snow cat or anyone to help get this thing together. Lucky we had JF to take things into his own hands and do what he does best "boss everyone around". All of a sudden we had Seymour employee's who had no idea who we were or that we were even doing an event working for us. It took us two full eight hour days up Seymour digging in the snow to build everything to the level of quality the Bastards deserved. Above: me and Stevie test a couple Pilsners prior to the event.




The GT cross course turned out better than I could of imagined. All I have to say is Dev is an amazing jump builder. The GT course started with a steep drop into a super poppy step down into a steeper landing that led into a roller. If you made it past that then there were 3 massive berms that you'd be cooking into with three other guys on GT's. That was usually where everyone would go down. It ended with a second step down over the Bastards banner with an optional hip. It was so much fun. I personally hiked it 50 times. Above: Kale and his lady cross the finish line.



We had all types of wacky weather the morning of Bastards day. It started out foggy, cleared up, turned cloudy, then dumped for about 20 minutes until the sun finally popped out for the rest of the day. Above: Mikey tells everyone about the new rash going around Eight Mile in front of the Redbull tent during the mid April snow storm.



Bastards day was a snowboard groupies wet Dream. The who's who of the shred scene were all there to take part in the bastardism. Above: Dev and Ikka put on their game faces before the first heat of GT cross.



Even Dickie "the future" Pricklesteen made it up to Bastards day. Must of been between trips. He was an absolute mess until he jumped on his tie dyed GT and guzzled a box of Pilsner. Dickie and Eero got into an argument over who's jacket was brighter but they're all good now..



The Bastards who weren't GTing were posted up in the snow cave which included a DJ booth, a 4 foot long BBQ with more meat than you could imagine and of course a bar stacked with Pilsner, Redbull and Vodka.. Above: Jbone back flips off the snow cave QP, over the Pilsner wall and into the snow cave bar area shirtless(obviously Paavo's request)....

Thanks to JF, Dev, Andy and everyone at Seymour, Paul at Pilsner, Gabriel at Redbull, Damon, Jbone, Chucky, Brisky, Duff all the Wildcats, and everyone who made it up to help and take part in such fun day. Next ones gonna be bigger and better. Keep an eye out for footage in "Still Bastards" out fall 07.........

The “Bastards“ day started out cloudy with the occasional snowstorms but by midday the skies cleared up and the party was on. Jf Pelchat was on early cooking on the BBQ  burgers and dogs for all while Devun Walsh was smoothing and fine tuning the GT cross course. We had over 300 Pilsner beers and five forties of Vodka + endless case of Red bull to keep the boys fueled and energized while racing the GT.  J-bone was doing handplants and Wildcats shirtless on a QP carve on the wall of the snow cave and Devun landed the impossible, a 360 and a bar spin on the GT. “Still Bastards” would like to thanks everyone that showed up and all the sponsors that help with the events: Mount Seymour, Red Bull, Pilsner beer, IS Desgn and Wildcats. This event was a blast and we hope to see you all next year, see the full run down in “Still Bastards” the movie out fall 07. 

Special thanks to Chuky, J-bones, K-man, Gabe and the cat driver you guys rock.

Yes, people are stupid.  I'll translate for the masses, just so we can make it clear.  Los gentes son estupidos.  Claro?  And that's not to exclude myself.  I'm stupid from time to time, most people, in fact, have their moments, and people should be excused from those, no problem, sure, why not?  However, like the bumper sticker reads "Stupidity's not a right, and you're abusing the privledge."  It's not a huge revelation or anything, people have been stupid forever.  The caveman who decided that poking the big animal with sharp teeth for fun was a good idea?  Yeah, he was stupid.  But unlike that caveman, the human race has evolved over countless centuries into something I would hope would be smart enough not to poke the f*cking bear.  No such luck.
I considered stopping but I thought I'd elaborate, considering I have nothing else to do and the "Pints of View" blog has been around a while, I'll continue.  Let's make a list!
 
Reasons Why People are Stupid
 
1) Yield does not always mean stop.
2) TYPIN LYK DIZ IZ NWAT EFEKTIV COMUNIKASHUN!!!!
3) The mind complex that people in general care, isn't true.
4) Hugging a tree doesn't solve much.
5) Killing mass ammounts of people doesn't solve much either, unless your opposition happens to be stupid.
6) Bigger isn't always better, it takes one atom to do what 6 armies could in 1/100 of the time.
7) The news is based on hooking in more and more viewers and readers, don't base your opinions on theirs until you know the facts because somewhere in between you'll be losing a lot of ground.
8) The economy doesn't suck, people bitch and moan to the extent where it just appears that way.
9) It doesn't matter how many mates you have if none of you know how to think.
10) If the world ceased to exist tomorrow, the universe wouldn't end and there would be absolutely no negative effect on the rest of oblivion.  People who seem think otherwise really ought to re-examin their outlooks on life.
 
Yes, it's a chauvanistic blog full of stuck up comments and egocentric rants.  Have a problem?  See number three.

This past weekend I went on my first overnight trip to the US.  THursday night, I headed to Windsor for Korean BBQ with Cathy, John and Cris, then back to his for 'fros.
 
Early friday morning, I crossed the border headed up to Grizzled's place and off we were for a weekend in Northern Michigan.  The sun was shinning, the weather was fabulous, and I was so stoked to get on my board!  We rode at Schuss Mountain Friday.. and there was hardely anyone there.  It was great for me, as it was my first day on a board since the knee injury and i was having some difficulties.  Boarding itself was great... but skating was painful, and stopping and getting off the lifts was just hillarious. At one point I felt like Zoolander as I exclaimed 'I can't turn left!'.  After a couple hours, I needed a break.. so we took the shuttle to Summit mountain. What a joke. about 6 runs, and 2 2man lifts that look like they were the first lifts ever invented.  But, we were the only 2 on the runs for most of the time we were there.  The runs were still groomed from the morning, and it was now 5pm.  It was great! Norbert (grizzled) crossed off an item from his to do list, as he wrote 'skiers suck' in big letters under the lift.  We then headed back to our place to change, have dinner, then call it a night.
 
Saturday Morning, I woke up and iced my knee. I knew that I wouldn't be riding again, so I decided to start the day out with some 'fros.  After a couple, then a breakfast beer with my egg n bagel, I started to pack up my provisions for the day.  This included some beer and filing my camelback with redbull and vodka. Yum. I was sipping at that thing before we even left the Inn.  Norbert went riding, and I hobbled around the village... then sat on a bench and people watched and chatted with some other injured folk.  Lunch time came around, and it was tailgating time.  Nothing like beer and hotdogs at the base of the mountain to cheer a girl up, and I needed cheering up, I was sooooooooo depressed about not being able to board.
 
Saturday was not only St-Pats,but also Carnival Days at Boyne.  Meaning, lots of drinking and costumes on the slopes.  They had a party on the slopes.. which ment having to get a lift ticket and board. And I have to say, I was so stoked to be able to do one run!  Got up the lift with a swift pay off to the lifty, and borded across the slope to the party, where all the random people I met in the parking lot were.. good times, and I was so excited to strap on my board to ride down!  After much more drinking, and some random run-ins, ski patrol was starting to kick us of the mountain. So I went to get my board. But Norbert already had it, and was refusing to let me ride. He said that I should save my knee for whistler and just walk down instead. I tried explaining that it hurt more to walk down the hill than to ride, but he was having none of it. Then, in what is not my proudest moment, I just sat on the slopes in total frustration and cried! There's a great pic of this... there is also a fab pic of me getting pulled down the slope with a ski pole.  I have to say, all i wanted was that one run, and the damn knee police took it away from me.  No worries, i'll get over it eventually!
 
Sunday, did a bit of tubing before heading back home... and yet another fabulous day! The weather was so great all weekend! And i did have tons of fun dispite not getting to ride.   so yeah... that was my weekend!
 
Oh, and monday morning, I walked into my class to find that the ceiling had caved in over march break. No fun at all... what a crappy day that was!

Events/News - Whistler Blackcomb: This Weekend - Whistler Will Go Off
By: WhistlerBlackcomb


Yep, if you like snow and don't live in a cave, you probably know that it just dumped 50+ cm's on Whistler Blackcomb. But it gets better... the alpine didn't open today, making for some epic anticipation of this weekend. Add that to the Grand Opening of the new Symphony Express lift, and it almost gets silly.
 
We'll see you up here this weekend. Enjoy...
 
Oh, and if for some unfathomable reason you aren't able to make it up this weekend, will let you in on the forecast... there's more coming.
 
 
"One of these kids is not like the other..."
 
And this is just what's in the valley.

My Blog: Bangerang!!
By: jennyg


Well well, i havent written one of these since summer! Its December already? Geez time gets away fast! Tons of shi*t has happened in my life since my last blog. So yea my summer was jammed packed with two jobs (serving and skating) But i managed to go to Penticton, BC for a week with a few friends.....good times for sure (we met random people), the skatepark was the funnest thing ever! After that I volunteered at slam city jam for a whole weekend and it was soo rad! I ended up actually skating the set up, including the vert ramp as well....It was Huge! I got to see Swollen Members up close (got to shake their hands oh yea!) I think im defintely gonna do that next year.
 
So this was my first year back at school since high school. Im going to Mount Royal College in Calgary and im taking a 4 year applied degree called Eco Tourism and Outdoor Leadership. It is seriously the best program anyone ever invented! The first day of school we had to climb this wall using only eachother to get up and over it. I was wearing a skirt that day, haha good times (i still did it of course). Anyways the people in the program are just as amazing, we are all tight!! Rock climbing, mountaineering, kayaing and canoeing are mandatory classes you have to take. We did some sick trips in the mountains, ive never been on such steep ridgelines in my life! I also had to get over my fear of being in caves, i would rather go rock climbing....which is ten times more dangerous. HAH! Next semester i have to take a wilderness survival course, should be interesting, cause i can only bring 3 items, and your not allowed to bring a sleeping bag or tent, not to mention that this is going to be in the middle of winter! So what would you bring??
 
UMM so other than i was in a relationship for 2 months, with a guy named AJ who is a rad skater......we are still friends.....I turned 20 in October (man i feel old, that was my last summer as a teen!)Got my nose pierced - didnt hurt at all. Im working at Canada Olympic Park im a snowboard instructor, my first shift is next week! Ive gotten out snowboarding a couple of times in the mountains, got pretty sore, it was sweet! I hope to get much more pow pow days in......
 
I went to the Killswitch Engage concert this week, and it was SOO good, they rock, you should check em out! (If you are hardcore that is)
 
Future news: Im going to be driving a car soon yay(well boo for polluting the enviroment and not using my bicycle) Also im going to Red Rocks, Nevada in February to do some rock climbing with people from my class! Im stoked!!
 

Well enjoy the snow! I know i am!

Catchya on the flip side

Ciao!

My Blog: italia
By: styles_child


ciao, recently home in t.dot from living in florence, time of my life, amazing! despite dislocating my elbow on a crazy booze cruise diving in caves in Greece, can't wait for the snow to come even if it's only blue mountain & not the french alps. was lucky to see Milano, Venice, Assisi, Verona and Mantua (romeo & juliets houses), and went on my own to Sicily where my great grandparents were born... doesn't get tougher than that. peace!
